User talk:Backstabberu

To be honest, the way you're most likely to create a userpage and get used to the codes is to hit edit on other peoples' userpages that you like and see what they do. The best way to learn around here is trial and error. Welcome to the wiki dude! (Also, don't forget the show preview button when testing) &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia  21:32, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, I want to upload a shexy picture for the crowd. Do I simply create a page with the image and link to it, or are there anything else that I have to do?Backstabberu 12:58, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The easiest way is to go ahead and put the image tag in your page, like [[Image:My image name.jpg]], then save the page. There will be a redlink where the image should be.  Click that redlink to go to the image upload page and upload your image.
 * I've seen people do it the other way around - go straight to Special:Upload and upload an image first, then add the image link on their page - and more often than not, they'll get the image name wrong (misspell, or mix up upper/lowercase) when they edit their page, think they didn't upload it correctly, and upload the image again. The other way is easier and safer.
 * PS Be sure to follow the rules at GW:IMAGE, especially the one about generic image names. Prefixing your personal images with my username ("User_Dr_Ishmael_image_name.jpg") is what I prefer to do.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 15:33, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Sanders here about the bow... as it turns out I still hate my computer for not running GW well after the HDD wipe, so I'm taking a nice long break from playing GW until I either save up enough money to repair a few parts or I just say forget it to GW and PC gaming altogether; it's almost blasphemous to say that.
