User talk:Jake

Feel free to post questions or proposals here, although I'll probably read and respond faster if they're posted on the forum. Please note: I clear this page frequently.

Videos
You might want to have a look at this. Also, exactly how do we know what rules to follow? What I'm trying to say is, what are the standards here? Are there any official page where there are the rules to this wiki? Here is BP's site. ht14 (talk) 19:32, 21 November 2010 (EST)
 * Videos are just part after v= . And you have a good point. I will start a rough copy in my sandbox. Super  (duh... )Alpaca Doggie Mask.gif 19:42, 21 November 2010 (EST)
 * We're currently working on writing up the rules. I know it's a bit late, but we wanted to take our time to ensure they are perfect for our community. They'll be up as soon as possible. -- Ja ke  20:11, 21 November 2010 (EST)
 * User:SuperAlpaca/Sandbox is the location for the BP thingy linked to earlier. For now, it is just a copy. Jake, you can edit it as you wish. Super  (duh... )Alpaca Doggie Mask.gif 20:16, 21 November 2010 (EST)

In response to the original question about videos, I'll make it my priority to fix that page. It seems video tags were broken during the merger. -- Ja ke  20:17, 21 November 2010 (EST)
 * Thanks guys. Just remember to credit Bulbapedia where possible. ht14 (talk) 00:13, 29 November 2010 (EST)

New user message
This bot isn't quite working properly. It is giving the second parameter blank, which causes no username to appear (I'm not quite sure why that parameter is even needed). Even simpler, BASEPAGENAME could be used in the template so that no parameters are necessary at all. -- Snorlax Monster  03:27, 22 November 2010 (EST)
 * Thanks for letting me know. The first parameter is automatically filled with the username of the newly registered user, and the second one is filled with the user's name. (If supplied during registration.) I was trying to create a switch to display the name is available, otherwise default to the username. Since it isn't working, I'll just switch it back to the first parameter only. -- Ja ke  15:19, 22 November 2010 (EST)

Regarding ads
Any possibility to get rid of ads for logged-in users? ht14 (talk) 00:26, 29 November 2010 (EST)
 * Ads strongly support our site financially. I've tried to make the ads as scarce as possible by having them appear only on articles and categories. If you are seeing inappropriate ads, I can have them blocked. But is there any particular reason that you need ads disabled for your account? (Other than the fact that they are somewhat annoying.) -- Ja ke  15:07, 29 November 2010 (EST)
 * Not a complaint about an add, but I saw at least one about Animal Crossing. :P It was for I Animal Crossing, I think... Super  (duh... )Alpaca Doggie Mask.gif 16:22, 29 November 2010 (EST)

Forum Password
Hi Jake! :) I've forgotten my password and de-activated the email I used for registering so could you please change my email to matthewtelee@gmail.com. Thank you!!!  Leem  01  11:02, 30 November 2010 (EST) (Hopes you see this)
 * On a related noted, the forum wouldn't accept my password after the switch, so I had to do the forgotten password thing to log in. I'm fine now, I just wanted to alert you to the problem.-Vulpes 11:35, 30 November 2010 (EST)
 * I've changed your email as requested leem. Sorry to hear about the login problems guys. I know that forum passwords should have been converted, but if they aren't working then the converter must have screwed something up. I'll see if there's any mention of this on the IPS site. -- Ja ke  15:04, 30 November 2010 (EST)
 * Mine will not work either. Help? Super  (duh... )Alpaca Doggie Mask.gif 16:12, 30 November 2010 (EST)
 * Request a new password. Sorry for the inconvenience. -- Ja ke  16:16, 30 November 2010 (EST)
 * Good, it wasn't just me. I had to request a new password too. -- Snorlax Monster  07:43, 1 December 2010 (EST)
