Could you take a look at the portal? I have a question there that needs to be addressed. Thanks -Idolcrash 15:05, 30 October 2005 (JST)

Audio Template

Hi, I was wondering if there was some way to get a small bar on the right that link to audio samples. At the moment the only way to link audio is to have a hyperlink, but that doesn't look aesthetically that great. I'm thinking...like just under where photos are? Like....

http://tinypic.com/fbdern.jpg

Or something. --Martzb00r

I think it should be possible to do something like that perhaps with [[Media:{{{1}}}]] in a template. --Womby

Caroline

I just got an exclusive interview with Caroline for wiki.theppn ^^ xD Mind if I chuck out Hirai Ken as the next week's featured article in place of a Caroline one? --Martzb00r

You mean you get to interview her yourself? Ask her when "Where's My Love" came out. xD (And tell her to release more.) ~ Wapiko 13:33, 7 November 2005 (JST)

"Caroline plans to release a few more singles before releasing her debut album in March, 2006." ^^ Actually thats a pretty good question. It came out ages before that official release date, so I'll just ask her xD --Martzb00r

Yea go for it, change away. --Womby

Style Guides

Heya, I was just wondering if you could make the Style Guides more easily accessable..like from the front page or the notices or something. It took me 10 minutes to find them once xD I never knew they existed until someone quoted them once. --Martzb00r

Done --Womby

Couple of things

How about this for the tables? Looks more professional, IMO. Also, you didn't reply on That Traveling song thread, and I'm a little lost what to do because of it. Thanks. --Martzb00r

Much better, it doesn't look like somebody threw a table at the page. I didn't think I needed to follow up on the Travelling discussion because I though we had got everything covered ok. What appears to be the problem? --Womby

Sorry, it's just I really hate mess in documents, and the Traveling page physically cannot fit on the page without it being a mess. The easiest way to solve the mess problem would most likely be to have two pages (like before), one with all the info on the single, and the other with all the info on the song itself. Though it is spliting up the info on the song, it's making the page far more managable for people to read and to digest. It's far more easy to have a little sentence saying, "For info on the single itself and it's sales see this page", or "For info on the song itself see this page" or whatever. It's only one extra click.

Like I also said, by merging the 'traveling' and 'traveling (song)' pages together, we'd have to merge so many other things and a lot of needless questions would come up (and each page would look messy). A lot of time would have to be spent doing all the reformatting, when it'd be a pretty pointless activity where we could be other things. What do you think? --Martzb00r 12:00, 22 November 2005 (JST)

....are you ever gonna answer this? xD --Martzb00r 10:59, 25 November 2005 (JST)

I am currently at November 17th of the recent changes in my feed reader, I am running behind. --Womby

But I have 5 min before I get kicked out for lunch, The problem is that the ONLY addition to the song page from the single page is a tracklisting and an extended description, like I said before, if we were talking about a Traveling page and a Traveling (tracklisting) page we would not even be having this discussion, the thing that came out of the songpage discussion on the SPL talk page was that if there was enough information to justify a (song) page then it should be created, but the reverse should also be true, there is not enough information to justify a single page. The tracklisting could easily be included in the Versions section of the song page (which would then be promoted to the top of the page) formatted a little differently and boom the only addition to the song page is a slightly extended description. This kind of thinking doesn't affect double or triple A side singles or Albums because in theory there would be more information on the single page and as such could be justified as an independent page. I don't buy into the idea of it being too complicated to click through for more specific information, we do it with albums and mini-albums and it works fine. --Womby

'The tracklisting could easily be included in the Versions section of the song page...' But what if it has a track that's not the title song? Not like double A side singles, but like in Ayu's singles she sometimes has a remix of an earlier song. That shouldn't be included in the Versions section, because it's not of the title song. Where would that go then? --StarPrincessLita 13:31, 25 November 2005 (JST)

That is why I said what we do with Travelling has no effect on how we treat any other disks, Travelling doesn't even have a bside track just remixes (that all linked to the same page). --Womby

You did? Must have missed that then. ^^;;; Yeah, that makes sense... --StarPrincessLita 13:40, 25 November 2005 (JST)

Whoa...that looks really good. o.o I'd fix up the additional releases section to include more of the information that was in the first version, but...probably wasn't the actual point. ^_^;;; So what would we do with singles that have more than one song? --StarPrincessLita 14:15, 25 November 2005 (JST)

Carry on as we are already, unless anybody can come up with a good reason not to. --Womby

Great. ^^ --StarPrincessLita 14:32, 25 November 2005 (JST)

Seams pretty reasonable ^^ I just got a couple of querys: What happens to the 'other information', like here at the top? It looks quite nice set out right opposite to the CD Art at the top like htat (thought the file thingies would have to be at the top). I'm a fan of having just one format (one format for releases, one format for artist pages) cause then you don't have to think about what format it's gotta be in..and this'll make song pages have two different types of formats. That's my main argument ^^ --Martzb00r 19:47, 25 November 2005 (JST)

But in that case are you going to tell me that Nakayama Nobuhiko did the Synthesizer Programming on track 9 of Hikki's CD in HARMONY~J-pop Meets Classics~for slow life collection ^^, there are always going to be exceptions, can you keep a secret wont work in the combined versions / tracklistings format above but Koda Kumi の Birthday Eve fits perfectly. --Womby

I'm just asking where on the page they should go xD They're very useful for a reference (I had no idea that so many guitarists featured in Letters, for instance) --Martzb00r 21:50, 25 November 2005 (JST)

Oricon weekly sales

music.yahoo.co.jp has sales numbers for the weekly charts. --Saa 01:57, 22 November 2005 (JST)

Hey perfect, a much better chart than the standard Oricon one too. --Womby

inline images and div

How do these work? I don't understand them. The changes you made to the Chokkan 2 page left the images above all the text, and I couldn't get them to display properly at all. If it was fixed in one browser, it looked messed up in another. --Saa 12:43, 23 November 2005 (JST)

oops, try it now. --Womby

Formal Wiki.ThePPN Romanisation

I just had a thought. I have some free time, and thought it'd be a good thing to have a template on how to romanise Japanese titles and all that. I mean, I'll just take the standards we already use and type em up formally for like, reference purposes (it could be added to the style guides as a subsection). Sound like a good idea? I'll run them through you beforehand if I do do them, of course ^^ I could do the templates for Japanese, Mandarin and Cantonese; but I couldn't do the Korean one. --Martzb00r

Well really all I use as my frame of reference is the Hepburn style ( とう tō, を o, へ e, は wa ) but without the macron so とう becomes to and Ōtsuka Ai becomes Otsuka Ai. --Womby

The only thing is that most people who romanise Japanese on the internet are amateurs, who don't use the Hepburn style (almost none of the wiki uses the hepburn style with Ō's and things) I mean, it'd just be a sorta blended version of the amateur and the hepburn that we already use; just typed out ^^ --Martzb00r 08:37, 26 November 2005 (JST)

You would be surprised at how close it is to Hepburn, the only variation is the double vowel with things like Ootsuka happening. Even though it is not the official government approved romanisation style almost all signs and guides are in Hepburn along with most Japanese study books so most of the romanised text seen by gaijin is Hepburn romanised. Saying all that ... I haven't been looking at the romanised lyrics. --Womby

STEP you/is this LOVE?

The title is capitalized for a reason. That's the way it's supposed to be spelled. They aren't doing it just to have it "look good" so *please* stop changing it.

Yes, it's capitalized for a reason, but we're working on proper capitalization, a.k.a. HEAVEN was moved to Heaven. --StarPrincessLita 14:08, 26 November 2005 (JST)

Actually, thats the whole idea. The only reason why artist's releases are capitalised is for appearance. It was decided that in eiki.theppn we shouldn't blindly follow these practices, so that the pages would be able to be found through the search bar. Nobody in their right mind would type in fsonmething like..."CAndY EyEs doLLS ∵" (I'll use Tommy February6 as an example. The capitalisation is still there, it's just the page titles aren't capilised in this manner. --Martzb00r 14:17, 26 November 2005 (JST)

D= I am now hated. This dude's really starting to get on my nerves... --StarPrincessLita 14:21, 26 November 2005 (JST)

ok sorry about this all i was just p.o.ed because i didnt get why everybody kept changing everythign and i thought you guys were just being rude to me or doing it to p*** me off. but whatever. -_- --Stzr3 15:55, 26 November 2005 (JST)

I am glad this all got sorted without me needing to be involved. --Womby

Roman ~My Dear Boy~

Can you delete Roman ~My Dear Boy~ to make way for a move from Roman ~MY DEAR BOY~? This was brought up before (point 21), but wasn't taken care of. Thanks. --Saa 17:20, 27 November 2005 (JST)

Done, oops --Womby

Could you delete a page?

Unite! Drizzly. It's just the cover scan, no pages link to it, and I'm trying to move UNITE! Drizzly since that's the real page. ^_^;;;; --SPL 06:13, 3 December 2005 (JST)

Thank you! ^.^ --SPL 11:54, 3 December 2005 (JST)

Another one...Rainbow needs to be deleted to make way for RAINBOW. ^_^ --SPL 12:19, 3 December 2005 (JST)

?

I'm curious about the ?'s in title pages. The regular wiki can take them, but in Wiki.ThePPN all hell breaks loose and the page has like..an epileptic fit or something. How come that happens? (Oh, I just remembered we would be able to use the kanji font question mark in place of the standard text one (？); but that might be a little cumbersome) --Martzb00r 09:55, 4 December 2005 (JST)

User_talk:Womby/Archive_2#Question_marks_in_article_titles. I guess Wikipedia doesn't use Apache? </clueless about web server stuff> --Saa 10:23, 4 December 2005 (JST)

BAH, I should have looked in the archives first *slaps head*. Nevermind then xD --Martzb00r 10:50, 4 December 2005 (JST)

The regex handling in apache 2 allows us to handle question marks AND ampersand marks whereas 1.3 will not, I decided to keep the & character for now and when my server supports apache 2 I will migrate. --Womby

Question regarding a group's name

I want to clean up/add more info to the move article, but first I need to be clear on what I should do about the article/page name. As of September '05, the canon formatting for their name is m.o.v.e. From what I understand, group names are exempt from the proper formatting convention used in songs and such, but I'm afraid that will make a for a cumbersome page name and I'm certain most people would be searching for move, anyway. What should I do -- should I go ahead and move the move page to m.o.v.e, or should I just make m.o.v.e a redirect? I apologize for dredging up formatting issues yet again, but I just wanted to be crystal clear before I started in on this. --Flashyouback 13:49, 4 December 2005 (JST)

Ohohoh, I know this one~~ Move move to m.o.v.e and make a redirect from move to m.o.v.e. The newest name is the canon ^^ --Martzb00r 14:00, 4 December 2005 (JST)

Yeah, what Martz said. When you move move to m.o.v.e, it automatically makes move a redirect, so you don't have to worry about it. This way, when someone searches for move, they'll get the right page right away even though it's at m.o.v.e. --Saa 14:12, 4 December 2005 (JST)

Thanks, guys. :) --Flashyouback 10:25, 5 December 2005 (JST)

I didn't notice this before...

When I went through the Nakashima Mika pages, about a month and a half ago, I added a cover scan for the page Oborozukiyo ~Inori~. I also fixed it up a bit, if I remember correctly. I didn't notice it, but then later, someone changed the link on the Nakashima Mika page to lead to Oborozukiyo ~Inori, and then last night someone created that page. So my question is...which do we keep? The second one is the one that's being linked to at the moment. They're pretty much the same, although the first one has the songs linked and also a waay better cover scan. --SPL 23:18, 4 December 2005 (JST)

Moved, I hope its the right thing to do --Womby

Spammers, ban, thanks.

Messy Reformat Template

Is there a template, like a stub, for messy pages that need to be reformatted on Wiki.ThePPN? --Martzb00r 12:51, 5 December 2005 (JST)

No, do we need one? --Womby

Almost (but not quite) blank pages

I was looking through the uncategorized pages list, and I came across 365 Feat. DELI. It's just the cover. o.o My first instinct was to mark it for deletion, but I wasn't quite sure if that would be the right thing to do. There are more, too...ayu-mi-x II version JPN, WHEN POP HITS THE FAN (that one's only the release date), WHEN POP HITS THE LAB...should I just mark those and any others I find for deletion? They do have information in the pages, though it's not quite enough to justify a page...^^;;;; --SPL 13:55, 11 December 2005 (JST)

I'd like to know as well. xD I came across a few in my categorizing attempts. Some of them just had links out. ~ Wapiko 16:35, 11 December 2005 (JST)

I wouldn't be upset if you mark it for deletion. --Womby

I asked the person who created the pages, Katokaze, and he said he's 'only trying to give more information about the discography' and it's 'better than nothing'. Which in my opinion, it's not really. I'll go mark those for deletion... --SPL 23:25, 11 December 2005 (JST)

Deleted. --Saa 13:57, 23 December 2005 (JST)

Thanks!

:)

I will definitely Do My Best. Let me know if there are any problems at any point. --Saa 07:44, 12 December 2005 (JST)

I think this means we need to make a Wiki.theppn:Vote For SysOps page or something, I cant just dish out privileges like cute and fluffies, I mentioned it to Wapi a couple of weeks ago and never really got around to thinking through how to do it. --Womby

I agree with that! ~ Wapiko 10:23, 12 December 2005 (JST)

Sure, agreed. --Saa 12:11, 12 December 2005 (JST)

Wikipedia

Can you clarify what the deal is with content sharing between here and Wikipedia?

People aren't allowed to copy stuff from Wikipedia to here. But what about the other way around?

Example I came across today: Goto Maki Premium Best 1 vs Wikipedia:Goto Maki Premium Best 1. Aside from changing the intro sentence and adding the cover, it's basically the same thing, taken from here. Heck, even the links still point to the non-caps version of the song titles. Does our license allow this? --Saa 12:27, 16 December 2005 (JST)

I know this question is a bit old, but I was wondering the answer to it myself. A big chunk of their Wikipedia:Younha page was taken from what I wrote on the Younha page here. --Hoshi-P 19:10, 4 December 2006 (JST)

They should not be doing that, because our licenses are incompatible. --User:Womby(Talk)

Username spam bans

If it's ok with you, from now on I'm going to give spammer usernames infinite bans instead of just 1 year. Like you said, those accounts will never stop being spammers. --Saa 11:16, 21 December 2005 (JST)

Sounds fine to me --Womby

Most popular pages

I was wondering, would there be able to make a ranking page for the most popular pages on Wiki.ThePPN? It'd be interesting to see which ones are that popular. At the moment the only way to see is to check manually (but I'm pretty sure #1 is Morning Musume with 53,000) --Martzb00r 11:47, 13 January 2006 (JST)

Special:Popularpages.

See also: Special:Specialpages. --Saa 12:32, 13 January 2006 (JST)

Thankyou ^^ Yet another stupid mistake I've made. --Martzb00r 12:36, 13 January 2006 (JST)

User:Suki_suki banned for vandalism?

Check his/her contributions; I don't see any vandalism. Am I missing something? --Saa 10:06, 6 February 2006 (JST)

Yea I did that by mistake, I thought it was a vandal edit on this page I was unfortunately over twitchy in my cleanups. --Womby

RE: What?

About the comment you left on my discussion page-- sorry about the "user warning" thing; after reverting the vandalism, I didn't know what was the proper way to report/warn against vandalism, so I looked around the site. I couldn't find the right place to report it, and I must have missed the admin page, so I decided to leave a comment at the user's page, following the basic, original Wikipedia guidelines (Wikipedia Vandalism page). I know this site isn't part of the Wikipedia group, but since so many pages already linked to Wiki on the help areas on this site, I decided to just go ahead and do it. I guess I accidentally clicked the user page instead of discussion page; sorry.

I'll remember to report to the admin. page from now on. It was just hard to get orientated with the way things work here (I've done a few edits at the main Wiki before, but have only browsed through here). And thanks for the welcome; this place is quite useful for updating the broken tags for my albums, and compiling together information :3 --Snakeycactus 16:19, 8 February 2006 (JST)

Editing question

Is there any way to make large text without having the Wiki put an edit link next to it?

See: Template:MainPageLeftBox, the Featured Article. Having the artist name wrapped in <h3></h3> causes an edit link to appear next to it in Template:MainPageLeftBox, which causes all the edit links below it to get thrown out of synch. --Saa 03:02, 10 February 2006 (JST)

No, but I think we can probably make a CSS entry for it, so we have <div class="faux-h1">somestuff</div> and then add to the custom style-sheets entries to make it look like a h1, I need to work on the stylesheets for the new single / album chart so we can do it at the same time. --Womby

Romaji over kanji?

I was just thinking. Should we make the romaji of a title in like...someone's discography or track listing on the left and then the kanji no the right? I mean, we seem to take English as a priority over other languages here, and sometimes I get this problem:

http://i1.tinypic.com/nmjha8.jpg

It only happens sometimes (I'd just restarted, so it's not a low memory thing) --Martzb00r 09:29, 12 February 2006 (JST)

This is my problem since switching over to Firefox:

http://i1.tinypic.com/nmknkz.gif

Right before I went to take a screencap of it it looked FINE for the first time ever, so I refreshed it and that made it stupid again. =_= ~ Wapiko 10:01, 12 February 2006 (JST)

I think we should have kanji on the right... We do have the English priority thing going on... --zeli

This looks like a font spacing issue (and a font availability issue) We can investigate the supplied fonts on a windows machine and look at changing the sites style-sheets. We do need to look at how we handle titles and have everything consistent across the site, I do know that the original intention for the current system was to make it clear what the official title was.

Related to this though I was thinking of microformats, how we identify the content on a page to make it more machine readable currently it is not possible for an application to load a product page and extract data. --Womby

Search

Is it just me or has the Search/Go feature been really unhelpful recently? Is there a way we can make the search results more accurate to reflect what there ARE pages for? --zeli

Can you give an example of how it's unhelpful/inaccurate? --Saa 03:36, 3 March 2006 (JST)

Like, just for instance, if I were to search "Matsumoto" looking for Matsumoto Jun, which we do have a page of, I would only get an Article Match for an image of him and would have to find a link on the image page to get to the article. --zeli

Are you sure you havent changed your search preferences, when I search for "matsumoto" I get Matsumoto Jun, Matsumoto Tak and Matsumoto Sora as title matches. --User:Womby(Talk)

Ooooh that's a bit better. Is main selected as a default for the search engine though because I have no idea how mine got turned off...? --zeli

(The last one's the best. xD) ~ Wapiko 07:03, 8 March 2006 (JST)

Oh, and when I do searches I have "(Main)", "Template Talk", and "MediaWiki" defaultly selected. Maybe it's something in preferences? ~ Wapiko 07:05, 8 March 2006 (JST)

Yea that's the defaults --User:Womby(Talk)

Small Question

Ok well i know wiki.theppn.org covers Asian music, etc. so i decided to add an artist from Singapore. problem is i realized she's the only Singaporean artist on here. o_O so do i just make categories and stuff now for Singapore stuff? and if so what would i call it? cause i don't think i can just call it "S-Pop". ^^; -- Eimii 03:47, 5 March 2006 (JST)

Don't forget Yan Zi! xD Personally I'd chuck her in with 'C-Pop', like all the Hong Kong artists are at the moment ^^ --Martzb00r 07:31, 5 March 2006 (JST)

Wow i feel bad. i thought Stefanie Sun was Chinese XD but ok, for now i will leave Corrinne May's stuff under the mutiple stuff...cause she was all crazy and released her albums everywhere. XD -- Eimii 08:00, 5 March 2006 (JST)

I would stick with C-Pop too --User:Womby(Talk)

Entries permition...

Sorry, I just always thought to ask permission first before I do anything since last time. I do feel like I was accused then, there's few user discussion entries there that say that the category I made ws racistic. Since its over and fixed, i try not to commit the same mistake again by asking permission first. I'm sorry if I'm not as bold as before. --Bibilog07 18:49, 19 March 2006 (JST)

Spammer

While I can see what you mean by the user page, I am confused about the link to Another Chance. We can't really limit what people put on their talk page but its good you keep your eyes out. --User:Womby(Talk)

Womby, view the deleted edits on the Another Chance page. It'll make sense then. --Saa 23:33, 1 April 2006 (JST)

Ahhh, a lovely "OMG this site is broken anybody can edit it" User. --User:Womby(Talk)

Main Page List

Hi! I'm just here to ask if String and OPM can be added in the list of musical genres? Thanks --Raven 19:48, 13 June 2006 (JST)

Where exactly should they go? Under Pop? --Saa 22:54, 13 June 2006 (JST)

Well both Categories speak for Thai and Filipino's music in general but they most likely go under pop --Raven 11:28, 14 June 2006 (JST)

I think you should just go with the standard categories for now but later if the number of entries in the general thai pop categories becomes too large that subclassing will be preferable you can go ahead and extend the categories. --User:Womby(Talk)

Downtime

There's been quite a lot of wiki downtime recently (it always says because of 'too many connections' on the front page), and that it's been caused by a MySQL database error. I guess this is because of increasing traffic (ironically, because that's what we want more of). Can the problem be fixed (or at least the MySQL server accessed remotely? Then someone could come along and reset it)? --Martzb00r 20:38, 21 June 2006 (JST)

In the past these connection limit lockdowns only happened when the side was specifically targeted by a bot / attack of some kind, but I recently upgraded mysql and it turns out it has a per user connection limit enabled by default now. The user connection limit was 20 connections, which is rediculous when google can create that many connections without blinking. I have changed the mysql settings and hopefully it will happen less again, but if it does I will have to start giving people permission to restart the daemon. The big problem here is that my new job has a hardcore network lockdown and yesterday the site died at 10am (after I restarted mysql at 7am) and I couldnt restart it until I got home at 8pm. --User:Womby(Talk)

Wow, only 20? No wonder we've been going down so much. I hope the new settings will work now, but if not I'll volunteer as someont to restart it [at the moment I have lots of spare time, so I'd be able to spot it quite quickly if it goes down]

By the way, a couple of pages with nothing on them suddnly appeared a few days ago (maybe in a site upgrade?) Some of these have been Wiki.theppn:Privacy policy and Wiki.theppn:General disclaimer down the bottom with Wiki.theppn:Site support at the side. I've also noticed that the style guide is no longer linked on the side bar, strange o_O --Martzb00r 15:46, 22 June 2006 (JST)

How interesting, I manually modified the sidebar code I guess the 1.6 upgrade rolled back the change and added a super cool donate link. I wonder what we should put in those pages (I will pull off the donations link so dont even think about filling the page). --User:Womby(Talk)

Comments for Image Reverting

Is there some way to add comments for image reverting? I always feel guilty for not actually saying why I'm reverting something back (though usually it's because the original was better quality or something) --Martzb00r 16:29, 27 June 2006 (JST)

No, put it in the talk page I guess. --User:Womby(Talk)

Ah, okey then. Thanks. --Martzb00r 18:46, 27 June 2006 (JST)

PNG support?

Check this out: Image:Piccolo Town logo.png. Thoughts?
p.s.: Archive your talk page a bit. :P --Saa 12:33, 2 October 2006 (JST)

Weird, I would guess that it means the version of imagemagic installed on the server doesnt support png ... I will check it. --User:Womby(Talk) P.S. I have been really pathetic at interacting here this year I am amazed that it is already october and I haven:t done anything to the site.

Images Unable to be Resized

I've just noticed something today. When I was resizing images, This error would come up: "Error creating thumbnail: Unable to run external programs in safe mode.". This has so far only happened to me on melody.'s Believe Me single page and Malice Mizer's Bel Air ~Kuuhaku no Toki no Naka de~ single page. --Martzb00r 15:31, 28 October 2006 (JST)

Ooh, also when I tried to save this I also got another error: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 135257 bytes) in /var/srv/wiki.theppn.org/htdocs/includes/Parser.php on line 346. Eek, scary error messages.--Martzb00r 15:33, 28 October 2006 (JST)

Image over text

You've probably addressed this before but take a look at this.

I usually view wiki with my huge resolution but when I switch over to check on the 1024x768 using firefox on a good deal of the pages the image goes over the text. I figured this is a problem considering a lot of people use firefox at this resolution. :\ Any way to fix it? I think it has to do with the Div layering. --zeli 08:46, 10 January 2007 (JST)

Ack that is bad ... no Idea but will think about it. --User:Womby(Talk)

Try now. Did that do anything? --Saa 08:29, 12 January 2007 (JST)

No, looks the same only now it does that in extremely large resolution, too. Looks fine on IE, though... so it is indeed a firefox problem. :\ Looking around, I don't have this problem on pages without divs, pages with divs not affecting the images like Hamasaki Ayumi, or on pages with divs like Kanjani8 though the text is EXTREMELY justified. I have the same problem with pages in the Hello! Project section like Takahashi Ai. No problem with Morning Musume, though, which is probably why I didn't notice it. This is on two computers I'm testing. :\ --zeli 10:21, 12 January 2007 (JST)

It's because you changed your default thumbnail size preference. The images in the Ayu, Kanjani, and MM pages override the default thumbnail size in the code. And if you notice the text in your screenshot doesn't reach all the way to the right and seems to stop a good 180-200 pixels before the end (180 is the default preference, and there's probably a few extra pixels of space for aesthetics). --Saa 13:03, 12 January 2007 (JST)

OH. Good catch xD; I didn't realize I was logged in on the other computer, too. PROBLEM SOLVED I GUESS. On a different note, what is the difference between the two div style modifiers? They both seem to do the same thing more or less. D: --zeli 13:34, 12 January 2007 (JST)

Not completely solved, unfortunately. It's still a bug that should be looked into and fixed if possible. And I have no idea what the difference is between the div styles. I don't even know exactly what they do, aside from making images behave on a page and not making section edit links all breaky. Referring to Womby for both of these. --Saa 13:59, 12 January 2007 (JST)

Guess who just fucked up.

Yep Me. While attempting to make a proper backup routine for the wiki I blew away all my backups, then to make things even more exciting I copied a 2 month old backup over the current site wiping out all the new images. Sorry Sorry m(_ _)m The database records still exist but the images themselves just 404. --User:Womby(Talk)

Should missing images be reuploaded? Tiny 03:02, 13 January 2007 (JST)

No worries, we'll get to work! ~ Wapiko 05:07, 13 January 2007 (JST)

Yep, they need re uploading. :'( I feel like such a twonk. --User:Womby(Talk)

>-< Oh noes. I just deleted a lot of what I just scanned and uploaded from my harddrive. Ah well. I'll rescan them sometime next week when I have those magazines in my posession again. In the meantime I'll try to find replacements. :D Gee that was a dumb move on my part xD --zeli 10:26, 13 January 2007 (JST)

I dont think you can label what you did dumb, I am the one who finger fumbled and blew away perfectly good data while trying to back it up :( --User:Womby(Talk)

Happens to the best of us xD; If it makes you feel better, if we ever meet you can buy us all ice cream or something~ I wonder if there's some way to list the 404ed images to make things easier? o_o We could make a manual list, I guess. --zeli 10:41, 13 January 2007 (JST)

perhaps the Special:Newimages page will help you? --User:Womby(Talk) 10:48, 13 January 2007 (JST)

That helps! Thanks~ --zeli 10:51, 13 January 2007 (JST)

We will be your distributed backup. Please post database dump of the content and maybe a zip or tarball of the images. --Pmsyyz 01:29, 14 January 2007 (JST)

the images dir is over a gig in size now. --User:Womby(Talk)

BitTorrent. :P --Pmsyyz 05:39, 15 January 2007 (JST)

Timelines

So umm...what happened to all the timelines? The timeline software seems to have turned to poo or exploded on itself or something. --Martzb00r

You can delete this, but..

I'm sorry for posting here if I'm not supposed to - but I don't know how to contact ANYONE about this.. Is projecthello.com still in need of donations to get the site back up again? I can't figure out who to talk to about this because mm-bbs is down too. So, hopefully you can help! (anya.floris@gmail.com) Ugh, thank you.. sorry again if this is totally inappropriate.

Womby no longer has any connection (network-wise) to MMBBS or PH, so he can't help you. However, my fellow sysop Saa is one of the maintainers of PH. ~ Wapiko 09:18, 31 May 2008 (JST)

We aren't in need of donations to get the site back up, no. MM-BBS and projecthello are hosted with the same company, and that company seems to be having major issues right now, since both the BBS and projecthello have been down for the past week or so. It'll be back up as soon as they fix it, but no one (not even the company, it seems) is sure of when that will be. - Shiroihana 09:26, 31 May 2008 (JST)

Oh yeah, forgot about our other PH delegate! xD ~ Wapiko 14:47, 31 May 2008 (JST)

Yay for changes!

Um, I just like to thank you and the other Sysops for bringing in different changes to this Wiki! Thank you very much ^_^ --User:Hadji (Talk) 05:21, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
