Something wrong on the Forums

Today I got a message from someone on the forums and in the message box under the logo it says My Messages [1] and I replied to it already, it keeps saying I have a new message and there is none. The My Messages [1] won't ever change. I don't know what is wrong, can you help me? Fuzzy in New Super Mario Bros. UYoshiGo99Artwork of a Yoshi egg on a tilt. It is unknown whether this artwork was released with a certain game or not.

Dynamic Page Lists

They are gone.
Now since you've deleted (or was it because or MediaWiki uppdate?) some articles, including MarioWiki pages are now left with "Invalid tag extension name: dpl". Examples: Super Mario World (television series), MarioWiki:Personal Check/Personal Images. I hope you'll reinstall it. SWFlashSWFlash.svg

It wasn't working after the update and was a little too heavy on the database. Let's see how we do without it. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 10:05, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
So, is there any hope that it will return? I'm asking, because Help:DPL is linked from most of the talk pages from welcome template, as well as being mentioned on Help:Contents. SWFlashSWFlash.svg
I've removed those links. I'd really love for us to work around not having it so we don't need to add it again. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 11:17, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
Also broken stuff: MarioWiki:Changing username, MarioWiki:Pipe Plaza. Link that needs to be deleted: MarioWiki:Rules. Also, the Help:DPL needs to be either deleted or marked as "doesn't work anymore". SWFlashSWFlash.svg

Thumbnails

It seems the thumbnail for some of the large images (ex: this and one of the revision of this) does not display correctly. Mind investigating that? --Glowsquid 13:40, 20 August 2011 (EDT)

I decided to revert back to using the MediaWiki default maximum image area for creating thumbnails: 12.5 million pixels or about 3500x3500. Reasoning is that this puts less of a strain on the server, and it's not like we're using images anywhere near this size on the actual article pages. I'll help resize and reupload. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 14:33, 20 August 2011 (EDT)
I was wondering why the 4000x4000 pixel images that I uploaded two months back were having thumbnail errors today. At least I now know why that is. RedYoshiMK7Signature.png M&SG (talk) 17:32, 20 August 2011 (EDT)

Question

How did you get this whole (awesome) Porplemontage Enterprises idea? I'm curious. WikiofSmash"The EarthBounder" 20:02, 20 August 2011 (EDT)

Well, I started picking up wikis with the formation of NIWA and wikis jumping ship from Wikia (as you know). "Porplemontage Enterprises" is just what I decided to call my collection of wikis since I wanted something like a portfolio to throw up on my porplemontage.com website. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 20:32, 20 August 2011 (EDT)

Minor question.

Did you updated the wiki? Looks like the parameter cellspacing of the tables isn't working (unfortunately, that's the only error I've seen for now) and the galleries are no longer centered... do we have to center the galleries manually? Another question: why the collapsible boxes of my userpage doen't work? well, they do work only when I log in but not if I log out... is it posible to fix that? ¢oincollctor rsitem209.png

I don't know why cellspacing wouldn't be working now; maybe you could link me to an example on that? The galleries would need the center tag to be centered, see Gallery:Super Mario Galaxy 2 vs. Gallery:Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. I fixed your collapsible stuff; it was a matter of clearing the cache for that page. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 01:47, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Oh, wait... I think I see the problem of the cellspacing. It seems that the thumbnail thing of the images inside the tables show them like that. No problem, I'll fix it myself and as for the collapsible tables in my userpage, thanks. ¢oincollctor rsitem209.png

Forum Update

Do you know how long it will be until the forum is working again? Artwork of Yoshi for Mario Party 4Yoshidude99Bowser

The wikis you run are having downtime more often. Why is this? Dr.Wario ''In a big country, dreams leave you.'' 18:04, 11 September 2011 (EDT)

Combination of a couple factors. A modification I made kept getting reset, but that shouldn't happen any more. I picked a bad day to do something, and I may want some more RAM. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 18:40, 11 September 2011 (EDT)

Userpage help

Hi, I'm Pichi-Hime6, I just became Autoconfirmed yesterday,
and I would like some help with my userpage. I have no idea how
to edit it, upload a picture, create a userebox tower, ect.
I've tried looking on all the Help pages for that stuff, but I
just can't seem to be able to do anything. --That's Bohogos 16:18, 25 September 2011 (EDT)

I couldn't explain a given topic better than the help pages already do. Click on your username, add text, and save. View the source of other userpages for an idea of how to do stuff like userbox towers. The file upload link is in the toolbox on the sidebar, and it's pretty self-explanatory: browse for a file and hit upload. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 21:39, 25 September 2011 (EDT)

Oh, I finally got my page up. it looks pretty good, actually! Thanks for the tip on viewing the source that was a big help. Now all I need to do is figure out how to make my sig look really cool......... --That's Bohogos 20:06, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

A Moralising Tale

From #Bowserpedia. I was asked to do this.

Neptune99 topic Smasher, MCD. I'm sorry. Will you please consider coming back to Bowserpedia, so we can be good bros again?
ChanServ changed topic to Smasher, MCD. I'm sorry. Will you please consider coming back to Bowserpedia, so we can be good bros again?
MrConcreteDonkey bro
MrConcreteDonkey we never stopped being good bros :')
UltraMario hoove
Neptune99 punches UltraMario
Neptune99 awww
UltraMario ,,,
Neptune99 but i feel guilty
UltraMario WHAT WAS THAT FOR
UltraMario D:<
MrConcreteDonkey <insert FiM-style moral here>
Neptune99 and that was the only way to get rid of the guilt
Neptune99 that or retiring
Neptune99 i actually did consider retirement, due to my long long past of not being able to say sorry
Neptune99 aww SM isn't there to be twilight to write a letter to princess celestia about the moral of this incident. :'(
Neptune99 i guess rarity can do it then.
Neptune99 SPIKE (Doomship), TAKE A NOTE
Neptune99 Dear princess celestia
Neptune99 Today, i have learned not to be too hasty when asking for a friend's help
UltraMario Princess Celestia = Porplemontage
Neptune99 And, together, we can slowly but surely bring bowserpedia to some sort of high point...that is if MCD and Smasher would like to come back

In unrelated news, can't the admins just ban KKR's IP? Or is he using different ones? He's incredibly annoying now. I'm sure everyone is fed up of seeing Recent Changes flooded by yet another KKR sock. One last question: Is he Plumber690 as well? I'm not sure. 30STM.PNG This Is War 30STM.PNG 12:27, 11 October 2011 (EDT)

Sorry, Edo informed me that they probably have dynamic IPs. Sorry about that. 30STM.PNG This Is War 30STM.PNG 08:27, 16 October 2011 (EDT)
