GuildWiki:Wikia staff noticeboard/Resolved2

__NEWSECTIONLINK__ The Wikia staff noticeboard is intended as a way to alert Wikia staff of issues which need their attention. This place should not be confused with the Admin noticeboard.


 * If you have a problem with the wiki's content, use a relevant talk page. Content problems added here will be removed.
 * If you are having issues with the game, use a relevant talk page or use ArenaNet's Guild Wars support site. See how to report for instructions on reporting game bugs. Guild Wars problems added here will be removed.

To create a new request, add a new subheading (you can do it by clicking the "+" tab near the top of the page), providing a neutral, concise, and signed summary of the issue. It is suggested that any other users involved in an issue should be informed of its discussion here.

Can't find your request? Maybe it has been resolved.

gold ad
http://www.goldsoon.com

Yes, their banner is for WoW gold, but it is the same thing. Block please...stupid all-graphic ads bypassing filters. (T/C) 10:47, 26 February 2008 (UTC)


 * it's still there --83.182.194.51 13:09, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

MMO Account purchase add?
http://www.gamewar.com/

Not exactly a gold ad, but against the EULA nonetheless. Rukias Tonarim 02:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Agrees, I've seen this one testing IE8 beta (sucks btw - use this) - delete plz RT 21:07, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Removing the Build: namespace from Special:Wantedpages
Is it possible? As the page is useless after the Builds wipe RT 12:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The Wanted Pages is automatically generated from red links. If you want the Build namespace removed from that list, see "What links here" to the red link and manually remove it from every page that links to it, only then it will be gone from Wanted Pages.

 * Fine... prepare for spam RT | Talk  18:58, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Accualy, I can't be bothered, I think the special page is going to be useless then RT </B>| <font color="Black">Talk</B>  19:02, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The namespace can be removed from the Wantedpages server-side, but as far as I know, it's quite risky and would need updating each time there is a significant update to the software. The GWW tried to get a similar thing done with the Guild namespace, but we eventually got it out by changing a few templates. -- Brains12 \ Talk 19:11, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Incredebly Lag
Guildwiki has been lagging this morning, with me taking over 30 seconds to load a page, normally I can download 140kb/s, so it's not on my end, and the rest of the internet is working fine.--<font color="Black">Gigathrash 20:09, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Seconded. Even the wikia site is experiencing extreme lag.  I went over there to see if there was any kind of notice or something informing us that they were having issues, ect.  But to no avail.  Wikia is worse than Crapcast -- [[Image:Isk8.png]] <font face="comic sans ms" color="teal">Sk8  (T)  (C)  20:11, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Me thinks you dumb, who would DoS GuildWiki? Absolutly no point to risk fines and imprisonment. 24.18.131.180 14:41, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Again today, I am experiencing ridiculously long load times for this wiki. Unlike the last time, Wikia's home page is loading just fine. It's so bad that Firefox is timing out half the time instead of loading pages. -- <font face="comic sans ms" color="teal">Sk8  (T)  (C)  16:42, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I would also like to add, that this vastly affects our userbase too. I've seen many users get fed up with loading times, and go to the other wiki] instead.  I don't think this is what we want, now is it? Please can we get someone to address this issue? -- [[Image:Isk8.png]] <font face="comic sans ms" color="teal">Sk8  (T)  (C)  16:45, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I admit, I actually just used the official wiki because this one is misbehaving. Fix it plz. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 16:56, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Am I the only one who seems to be unaffected by lag? :( (T/C) 01:36, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Not the only one, Entropy. I'm not getting any lag at all.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 01:39, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Gold Purchase Ad
Just found an add for goldsoon.com, advertising WoW gold. Probably other MMOs too.

Ad to cause lag
http:://www.grandchase.net/

Ad has multiple moving frames, changing colors, etc. While it does not fit the criteria exactly for an "inappropriate ad", it does tend to slow down the loading of any given page by about 5 seconds. Which annoys me. (T/C) 20:37, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Adblock Pro, I don't even bother with ads anymore. --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 20:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I would, but then I couldn't report bad ads. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 20:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Your job sucks. :P --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 20:40, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Adblock plus! YAY! <font color="Blue">RT </B>| <font color="Black">Talk</B>  20:42, 22 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I have almost forgotten what an ad looked like (ABP ftw!) --Gimmethegepgun 07:03, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * ABP here too :D We should make a userbox for that. Jam[[Image:Jamster Sig.gif|19px]]ster 09:35, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
