You ask me to specify what I mean by the red underline: when you mispelled something on the edit window, it don't show the red underline to indicate spelling error, so you could mispell something without knowing. To prevent this, I normally type words that I am not sure of on the summery/headline deilogue (example) box above the preview/pubilsh buttons...it was annoying...and I use Chrome. I prefer if you respond in my talk page, not here, thank you. Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 06:42, September 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Firefox has a spellchecker and I think Chrome also has one. Cheers, 13:30, September 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * And there’s an add-on for Internet Explorer too. But, I’m not entirely sure that that’s what Anakin is talking about since he keeps mentioning the edit summary. Color me confused … — Spike Toronto  22:58, September 10, 2011 (UTC)

Blocked on admin tools wiki
__NOWYSIWYG__ You seemed to block my IP on admin tools for testing reason- therefore i have been blocked. Can you undo your blocks? TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs)  19:16, September 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * No local issues here, please. 19:17, September 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Appealing a block here from a wiki where you cannot edit is not against policy. -- 19:19, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

B10M, I believe it’s fixed now. It was a test block on what turned out to be your IP that wasn’t cleared right after like it was supposed to have been. TK took care of it. Next time B10M, you should put an unblock request on your talkpage over there. I’m pretty certain you would have still had talkpage access. It was just luck that TK saw your note here. But, if you had used the unblock form over there, it would have immediately sent out a notice to all the bureaucrats and the active admins. Plus, it would have activated the administrator’s backlog, which would have generated a second, further email notice to all the bureaucrats and the active admins. It gets you the fastest action possible because we don’t want members filing unblock requests to have to wait for a response. It was just luck that TK happened along here to see your note. That is most likely why he made the comment about “no local issues here”. I think it was his shorthand way of saying it’d be quicker over there. Sorry about the mixup. — Spike Toronto  23:30, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

Video formats & Wikia

 * Please see Help:Videos. Hope this helps. — Spike Toronto  06:50, October 15, 2011 (UTC)

AST & Skype
Hi Spike! We kicked off the channel today with two wikis for AST. If you get a minute check into the skype channel. Thanks! --Meighan http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:33, December 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the update Meighan! I’ve been a bit busy off-wiki with the holiday season (planning Christmas Eve dinner for 16!). I will definitely plow through the Skype material the first chance I get. Thanks! — Spike Toronto  05:37, December 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's probs a bit outdated...maybe just hit me up on Skype and say hello in that channel as well. I totally understand it's that time of year! Dinner for 16 sounds yummy! ;) Have fun! --Meighan http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 05:48, December 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your understanding. I’ll be in touch. In the meantime, you should consider recruiting User:TK-999. He is an invaluable admin asset to two of the wikis I work on. Also, he is a frequent, helpful contributor here at Community Central. Thanks! Happy Holidays! Smiley.png — Spike Toronto  07:21, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

RC Flooding
please stop flooding central with dozens of edits to the same page thanks! 12:33, February 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Please ask the powers to be at Wikia to give us a Preview option and I will have the tools with which to comply with your request. Smiley.png Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  12:54, February 15, 2012 (UTC)

Signature
Yes, it is a new signature! Thanks for noticing!


 * I was so curious, I went and looked at the code. Man, there sure is a lot of it! :) — Spike  Toronto  18:20, March 4, 2012 (UTC)

Signature troubles … again!
Hi Spike. Remember that long discussion about my templated signature? Well you were right of course. I didn't really like the signature in the end. It was a pain in the a$$ even with  in it's code. I was looking for an excuse to be rid of it when a user on wikipedia pointed out this to me. Which says that those templated sigs put strain on the servers. I know it is a little different with Wikia, but I only needed a rotten excuse!

I thought I'd send you a message to tell you that I've gone with your idea (modified slightly). It will be great to start signing with four tildes again!

PS I really like how you've set-up your talkpage (thanks for, I'll be using that in the future for sure!) :)  Starfleet   Academy  02:13, March 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * If anything, it would be even more of a server strain here at Wikia than at Wikipedia. That is one of the reasons I’ve always preferred Wikipedia’s signature policy: If the customized code will not fit in the space provided for it at Special:Preferences, you cannot use it. (Yours would fit there, by the way. Or, is it already there?) Thanks for the update Starfleet. Enjoy the weekend! — Spike  Toronto  08:32, March 9, 2012 (UTC)
