New style for material pages
In case anyone's interested, I'm almost ready to overhaul our crafting material pages. Join the discussion if you have any opinions about it. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 02:15, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

Me as miniature, and miniatures as me :o??? Bug
When I logged into Longeye's Ledge, I was confronted with a very funny bug, and took many screens from it... and I dunno if you know this or not, but I never have seen this standing anywere on the wiki, so I'll put it here: Omg, I still am as miniature whenever I load into a town... Wtf is this?
 * I've never seen this exact bug, but I have seen the opposite where your character enlarges. Playing in the crystal desert some years back, my warrior continued to run off a ramp into the sky and kept getting larger as he ran.  It was rather amusing and if I dug around, I probably have a screenshot somewhere of it where my character is standing on the heads of my smaller allies. :P -- [[Image:Isk8.png]]   Isk8   (T/C) 09:54, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * The verdict is in. April_Fools'_Day_2010 Its Anet's April Fools Day joke. Enjoy -- [[Image:Isk8.png]]   Isk8   (T/C) 10:11, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia Poop
Hi,

In order to perform scheduled maintenance, all Wikia sites will be "read-only" for about 30 minutes starting at 10:00am UTC Wednesday April 14. (that's 3:00am Pacific, 6:00am Eastern). During this time editing will be disabled, but you will still be able to view the site.

Thank you for your patience, The Wikia Community and Technical Teams

RMT ad on the main page
I'm drawing a blank on where were supposed to report these, but this RMT ad was on the main page just now: http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-3255760518790512&output=html&h=90&slotname=6441124621&w=728&ea=0&flash=10.0.42&url=http%3A%2F%2Fguildwars.wikia.com%2F__varnish_athena%2Fathena%2Ftag%2F%3Ftag_id%3D365%26size%3D728x90%26slotname%3DHOME_TOP_LEADERBOARD&dt=1271789227173&shv=r20100331&correlator=1271789227176&frm=1&ga_vid=2041855950.1266119559&ga_sid=1271789068&ga_hid=1388825450&ga_fc=1&u_tz=180&u_his=2&u_java=1&u_h=900&u_w=1440&u_ah=900&u_aw=1440&u_cd=24&u_nplug=24&u_nmime=109&biw=-12245933&bih=-12245933&ifk=318734419&fu=0&ifi=1&dtd=10 Not to mention that I didn't think I was supposed to get ads at all, but anyway...

 * I think those are all reported through Special:Contact now, just like all other Wikia issues. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 19:01, April 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, I'll do that. Related question: am I stupid, or did I use to not have an ad on the Main Page, but do now for some reason? I can't seem to remember having it there, right at the TOP of Main, between the header and the first content boxes, until today. O_o All I did differently was to add some buttons to my monaco.js.

 * Well, I reported that using the Special:Contact link, but I'm still seeing various incarnations (including the one I reported) of the same RMT seller ads on the main page, EVERY STINKING DAY, it's like there are no other ads for anything ever. Grrr... >_< What's the point of Contacting them if nothing happens? RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 20:10, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

New GW2 info coming soon

Wikia Poop 2
We will soon be releasing a new 'followed pages' feature, which includes changes to your watchlist privacy settings. Please visit the help page to learn more.

Basically they're trying to make Wikia more "social" (yay buzzwords!) by letting you view other users' watchlists. All I have to say about this is... (disclaimer: not a rickroll). &mdash;Dr Ishmael 20:39, May 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * A quick reword/tl;dr: "You can now see other people's watchlist. Live @ May 5th." Ish's link is very appropriate. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  20:55, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can disable this in Special:Preferences - the preference is live right now (under watchlist, surprisingly) so if you don't want your watchlist to go public, change it today Random Time  21:11, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's another big wikia fail - the default should be the setting that protects our privacy. -- ◄mendel► 06:07, May 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Personally, I could care less either way - my watchlist isn't exactly something I consider "personal information" - but I've added this to the sitenotice to make sure everyone knows about it. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 14:39, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * "I could care less either way" - surely you mean "I couldn't care less either way", otherwise you somehow mean that you care a lot, either way - bah language is confusing Random Time  17:19, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * What annoys me more is the "You have new messages" box that doesn't go away no matter how many times I click on it. --Macros 16:03, May 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's odd. Did you dismiss the Wikia message? That should do it. Try force-refreshing your talk page, if yes. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  16:08, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

So now my "followed pages" link is hidden in the "MORE" menu, making me click twice to get to it, which is getting annoying. >_< Is there a way to make it display on my top bar (like the old watchlist link) without being hidden in that stupid menu? RoseOfKali 19:43, May 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * [ See here]. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 20:24, May 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Awesome, thanks! RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 20:44, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * My watchlist is approximately 5 pages. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 02:42, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
