Your User Page
Sorry if im doing this wrong, im new as of about 30 minutes ago. I was looking at your main page, of characters, and was wondering on how I can get a template or something to help make it look very similar to how you have it set-up. If I could get your help, id appreciate it. X Jstn X 16:56, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The simplest way is to just copy my page, then modify it however you want. One thing to look out for is wherever you see double curly braces around something, like , that's calling a template.  If it's calling a template in my userspace, like  , you'll need to change it to your userspace instead.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 18:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for updating the skill costs

 * Skill points are used to buy skills from skill trainers. Each skill costs one skill point and a certain amount of money. The first skill purchased costs 50, and the price increases gradually up to a cap of 1 on the 20th skill.

I've read four different game guide explanation of the costs and they are all horribly confusing. This is the first one I've read that makes a simple thing read simply. Nice job.

Also, thanks for the other re-wording (esp. since you fixed the #s; I could only copy what was there before). Thanks! --Tennessee Ernie Ford 23:22, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

ohai (Sysop question)
Hi there :)

For the last while I've been trying to learn more about this site and was wondering something. Would you be able to try to help me grasp the level of understanding of coding Sysops are required to have?

I'll understand if you can't be bothered or don't have the time, just thought you'd be the best one to ask. --> Suicidal Tendencie 12:58, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Warwick's pretty good, PanSola is proficient, Wizboy can do them too, I think, just call up some pages in Template: namespace and see who did them. Or call up Forum:Coding and see who signed. (Though I guess we can delete that section now?) -- ◄mendel► 13:30, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Help on my title pages
hello, sorry but I'm going to steal your time once again. I updated my title page this morning here, but it won't update on my character page here. and on the titles page, down at the bottom i get this message "Expression error: Unexpected < operator", even though that part of the page was just copied and pasted from the Title List template. your help will be appreciated! 22:19, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

 * rah-ha! thanks!, still have that weird redt text error deal though... ShoganKiller 23:01, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Removed a parenthesis that was messing up your code on your titles page, then null edit on the character's page fixed the red error text. :D -- [[Image:Isk8.png]]   Isk8   (T/C) 23:09, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * ty for your help guys, now i just have my sig issue, but i think i can get that on me own ShoganKiller 00:06, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * ok guys, this is starting to piss me off, everytime i edit a page that is linked to another page by the means of those types of brackets, the page (such as my user pages) dont update the linked part of the page, is this an IE bug or somthing? because this has never happened before... ShoganKiller 15:17, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * moving this to the bug page... ShoganKiller 15:24, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * You may just need to purge both the inclusion and the page that contains it (Ctrl+F5 on both, plus a couple extra minutes and refresh again, usually works). Other than that, I've never seen this problem.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 04:54, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Hiya, help?
Hey ishmael, since you're a [PRO]grammer, I ask you: we have some problems over at Template:Armor art gallery trying to implement the "without helmet" thing. I tried my best, but there's a really bitchy issue with the line-breaks. Can you look at my revisions and try to retrace and see what I did there? Before 10th August it was almost right but with that line-break issue I tinkered around for over an hour, just to split the images up in the end. However Kali doesn't like it, so maybe you find a way to fix it? -- Taki Fujiko  04:29, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what the reason was for the other edits on the page, but you broke the Clipping parameter at some point (you changed it to display for some reason), and the changes you made to the "Profile" text aren't working.  To make this easy, I'm going to roll back all your changes to un-break both of those, then add back only the "nohelmet" stuff, then I'll try to see what's wrong.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 04:56, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, and now I think I see the problem - you were adding two new table cells outside of the table you wanted them in. Of course that's going to look goofy.  I'll have it fixed in a jiffy.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 04:59, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Hey, it's been a while since I've done that. :P I've been away too long, I totally didn't think of switching to my bot account for that.
 * Taki, it should be fixed now. The reason for the RC-bustin' was I changed your "nohelmet" parm to "Nohelmet", in keeping with the title-case nature of all the other parameter names on that template.  Let me know if you need any other help!  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 05:23, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

hey i was looking at that file with ur picture as a necro with the mask of the mo zing and was wondering if it clipps the mask with the armor "asurian armor"? just ummm edit mab the thing and say it there thnx &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.142.133.58 (contribs).


 * If you look at the "Summary" section on the image page, you'll see that I didn't upload those pictures originally - I just re-uploaded them to the correct filenames. I don't have a necro with the Mo Zing mask, so I wouldn't know.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 03:32, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

Test version of Cootle Sizzlehorn
Hey Dr Ishmael, I was wondering if you still need/are using Cootle Sizzlehorn/Test version. If not, I'll delete it. Thanks-- (Talk) (Contr.) 19:51, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Damn, I was going to ask the same question Random Time  18:57, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * I deleted it because a) it's orphaned (I edited MP47's post above to make it so), b) Dr Ishmael is inactive at present, and c) if he decides he does need it when he becomes active again, he can undelete it himself. -- ◄mendel► 20:04, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Transmog Tonic
Actually, I've seen it too. Right after using the tonic, sometimes (but not always) your character will do one /clap. There's also something similar in the Costume Brawl. When entering the outpost or battle, your character will perform one emote over and over (different for each profession and gender) until you move for the first time. I think it has something to do with humanoid disguises in general. You never notice it with other tonics because, well, they have no emotes. --Macros 15:11, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Come to think of it, the emote Livia does in the Costume Brawl is /clap, too... suspicious. --Macros 15:17, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hm. Like I said in the summary, I've never noticed it myself.  I'll watch more closely today - I'm expecting the next quest to become available, and we'll probably have to use tonics to enter the UW again, so I'll have plenty of chances to see it.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 15:27, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I just saw it on one of my wife's characters. Seems to be pretty rare, though.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 16:55, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * That IP you reverted was actually me. :P And I've seen it clap up to 3 times in a row after transforming. You worded it better. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 01:27, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay. Maybe I'm just blind, but I still can't remember ever seeing my characters do that.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 02:11, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
