 * lol, your concern is much appreciated, especially since my poll up there indicates that nobody knows who i am, and i am hardly a regular fixture on your talkpage - all of which leads me to wonder what suddenly lead you to read my userpage in the firstplace, considering i can count the contribs i made over the last few days on one hand (i can hardly count them on two hands regardless, though xD) so im not appearing in RC much either, but thanks anyway :P, wow, that took far too long to write, the amount of times i pressed Y instead of T and had to backspace is unbelievable--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 13:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

GW:SIGN
Apparently, your image is too large &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia  00:07, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thats ridiculous, the whole reason for the size limit is so it does not disrupt text layout, who cares if its resized to the right size in the signature or wether the image itself is the right size - i say the policy is flawed--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 19:19, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Fight the power! &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia  23:04, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I assume that there is some technical reason that makes interally resizing images undesirable, but I sure as heck don't know it. Maybe Dr ishmael or PanSola or someone like that could share their knowledge with us. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 23:07, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The thing I don't understand is that if it's something important enough to have a clause in the policy about it, then why has he been able to get away with it unnoticed for 2 months and some change. &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia  23:22, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * If you look at the actual image URL http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/gw/images/thumb/4/41/Cobalt6.jpg/50px-Cobalt6.jpg you see that Mediawiki makes the resized version and caches it. From a technical and performance standpoint it's as if Cobalt had resized it himself and uploaded it. --◄mendel► 23:33, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Just point-blank info there, or were you trying to make a point? I can't tell if you're for or against, or what exactly is going on with that statement. &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia  23:42, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I think he means it doesn't matter, but doesn't really form an opinion on anything. So, ye, PB Info. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  00:35, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * What does "PB Info" mean? My opinion is that I can't see a reason for the image itself to be smaller, because Cobalt's code uses the cached smaller image. So if you argue "Cobalt should use a small image", he is already doing that (albeit indirectly), so no need to change. --◄mendel► 08:17, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * "PB info" was repeating Powersurge's "Just point-blank info " comment, but I was too lazy to type it out completely. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  12:26, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * See, i think that Mendel would know about these things, master of coding that he is and as such if he says it isn't making any difference and no admin or wikia staff people start leaving threatening messages AND if nobody else of coding expertise furnishes a valid reason why resizing my sig through primitive code magic is a problem then i think i'll leave it for now, or, as Powersurge put it, continue to "fight the power" :P I thought it might raise some similar problem along the lines of the issues with using non-sub stringed templates for things such as Template:Unsigned - but apparently not, and i've been using this for many months now without objections, so - yeah.--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 16:18, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


 * My secret membership with the abbreviation police allows me to interject that "subst:" stands for "substitute", not "substring". "Substring" is usually abbreviated  "sub", as in   (). --◄mendel► 21:44, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Where are you?
Are you trying to draw attention to your underused talkpage in an attempt to generate even more archives? no? On an unrelated note, i just noticed through accident that if you click and drag the buttons over the edit box it puts the image URL into the edit, like so: http://images.wikia.com/common/releases_200807.2/skins/common/images/button_sig.png and displays the image as an image without wiki coding tags - wunderbar-- - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 19:00, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Wiki Buddha's
While randomly looking for userboxes to steal, i came across this hilarious quote from entropy at the top of RH's userpage "Sometimes to do what you feel is right requires sacrifices." - if i could be bothered, I'd love to find the original context, but i can't. However, it did give me a wonderful idea for another hugely productive use of my talkpage - especially since I have a quotes section in my userspace myself. I think it would be great if people would use this section to post ridiculously pretentious profound type statements which i can then immortalise on my quotes page :) The kind of thing some games like to stick on their loading screens to make them seem more intellectual (call of duty and rome total war (in which, amusingly, you could edit the quotes in a notepad file to produce such timeless wisdoms as "Egyptions r gay lulx - Latin Proverb") spring to mind) or that people take out of context from religious books to make it look like jesus supports their plan to reduce health benefits or something. A quick look at wikiquote reveals some incredibly profound statements such as: "One beetle recognises another" - Irish Proverb...wonderful "The mouse is silent while laboring, but when the baby is conceived, she cries." - Ethiopian Proverb....erm...righto. Any ideas?-- - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 18:31, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
