recent layout changes
I think you accidentally removed the global CSS from the cologneblue skin in the last 48~ hours. I know you no longer support the skin, but I don't think that's a reason to break its layout. -- Sixorish 22:53, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I dont know. I'll look into it. They are getting ready for the 1.14 release, so there are lots of changes being made. Some of these older skins may be going away as they become harder to support/worry about breaking as improvements are made to the infrastructure. --Uberfuzzy 00:24, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Problems with Wikia
I seem to be having some problems connecting to any Wikia-related site in general, and I think it may be because of the Monaco skin, and FireFox not getting along with each other. I currently have FireFox 2.0 (I'm not fond of 3.0), and randomly, when I try to connect to a Wikia, or edit a page, I get this: Image of my browser. It's an image of my FireFox screen. The tab with the Wikia name shows the address, and the page claims to be done loading, yet all I see is a white screen. I also had some image related problems with the Monaco skin, where the images would not load, but instead, turn into blue links. I'm not sure if Monaco has some bugs left in it, or if it's just FireFox screwing up, but do you know anything about this? And if you don't, who should I go talk to regarding wikia tech support?

 * First, you really should upgrade firefox to the 3.x series. There are lots of fixed bugs, both in page rendering, and security.
 * Second. The completely white (blank?) page are not anything related to what skin your using. We're currently having some hardware related issues that occasionally cause our servers to become overloaded and not return any content to the user (you). There are error messages being generated and logged when you see those blank pages.
 * Third, regarding images turning into links. Do you have any more information about this? like what image? what wiki? when? There have been some problems with the image servers recently, some that might have caused this, but I would need to know when.
 * Monaco might have some bugs left in it (very few by now, its been out over a year), but nothing related to anything like this, and we're fixing them as soon as they get reported. If any of these come up again, please report them to Special:Contact as soon as possible, with as much information as possible. Screenshots are also very welcome. --Uberfuzzy 03:28, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It was mainly back at the RuneScape Wikia, on several pages, but I've also seen it on various other wikis. The site tries to load a slew of images, it'll load a few, then the rest just go blue-link. Also, I prefer 2.0 over 3.0 because when I tried 3.0 there were all these new easy access features, and alot was changed, and I immediately switched back to 2.0. It's more of a personal preference. Thanks for the quick reply Prince of MadnessDaedryon 03:31, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh! I shoulda mentioned this, back when Wikia did switch over to Monaco, and even months after, I noticed alot of the bluelink image problems happening, as well as many other problems, which I see have been fixed, but what I found funny was when I switched back to Monobook, the main site-breaking bugs that prevented me from even accessing a Wikia site while using Monaco, seemingly stopped.

Wario Wiki
Hi, you blocked 86.30.6.215 on Wario Wiki a few weeks ago and he has started vandalising again. Please could you block him again. Thanks. GT5162 11:21, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Global.js
I was looking at some of the images in your Global.js, and I noticed they're buttons for editing, but I don't see them above the editing area, while I'm typing this. Is that Global.js just for your personal use, or can all of Wikia see any changes you make to it?

Also, I'd love to have those buttons, such as the  button for my editing on the Castle Crashers Wikia. Is there a way for me to implement them into my own custom Monaco.js/.css? Prince of MadnessDaedryon 04:23, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * User:USERNAME/global.js here on central is loaded for you on all wikis, under all skins.
 * if you want it to load for just you, on just one skin, put it at User:USERNAME/skinname.js (note the skin name is always lowercase)
 * if you want it to load for for all users on a wiki, put it in MediaWiki:Common.js
 * please also see Help:Custom edit buttons --Uberfuzzy 04:35, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I had some success, but now, either my cache's slow to refresh (I've hit CTRL-F5 several times now), or I screwed the code up somehow. Here's my code: Click here. For some reason, whether FireFox 2.0's cache clearing thing is slow or not, I seem to have the default set of editing buttons. Prince of MadnessDaedryon 05:04, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

removing spotlight
I'm an idiot >.o I meant to ask another question. How would I go about removing the Wikia Spotlight widget from my sidebar? It's currently blank for me, probably due to my always up-to-date HOSTS file, blocking irrelevant internet ads and spam, but it's been bugging me just sitting there. Prince of MadnessDaedryon 04:27, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Spotlights count as advertising, and as such, it is against the Terms of use to use any javascript/css to remove them. --Uberfuzzy 04:45, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Spam Blacklist
Please can you add www.rewards1.com to the Spam Blacklist as spammers have been adding it to pages on Wii Wiki. GT5162 16:04, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. GT5162 09:35, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

thx for the welcome
i really appreciate it, also, can you give me some tips about how can i become a wikia helper? thank you -- 19:35, 16 April 2009 (UTC)


 * oh sorry, i forgot to look at your talk header, should i move this comment back to my userpage? 21:35, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Help?
Do you know any articles I can help edit?
 * You might want to try to find a wiki on a subject you like. This wiki is more just a giant directory for other wikis and gathering place. Theres no content pages here. --Uberfuzzy 22:27, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

JS editing
Just wondering, anything else I can customize via editing the monaco.js file? I've already got a nice custom edit button setup going, and I was wondering if there was anything else I can customize to my liking? I was also wondering if a more indepth editing button edit can be done, such as moving the buttons around, as I have 5 different headline buttons setup, and I want to move them beside the preset level 2 headline button. Thanks! Prince of MadnessDaedryon 00:23, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Just put them in a different order in your code. --Uberfuzzy 05:43, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Err, I know how to do that with custom buttons, but the preset onces (Bold, Italic, etc), don't appear in my JS code. Those are the ones I want to know about. Prince of Madness<font color="#222222">Daedryon 06:21, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope, cant change the ones you didnt add. --Uberfuzzy 06:22, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah damn. Oh well :P Can't blame a guy for trying. While I'm here, are there any online Monaco skin editors out there that make editing the skin easier? I find all this coding and figuring out what code is for what feature to be quite dragging. <font color="#444444">Prince of Madness<font color="#222222">Daedryon 06:24, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I dont know about online, or editor, but get firefox, get firebug, learn to point at the thing you want, find its class or id, and *bam*, style away. and once you know what class/id things have, take a random walk around wikia, look at wikis with custom skins and and look at their css --Uberfuzzy 06:29, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Special:Createpage glitch?
Hi Uberfuzzy I'm EightyOne, an admin from Gearspedia. I was just looking at the main page and I saw that a link to Special:Createpage as become a red link. I checked a few other wikis and it was the same there. Is this meant to have happened or is it problem. Sorry to bother, you I didn't really know who else delt with bugs etc. Thanks, --EightyOne (talk) 13:31, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, that shouldnt have happened. I've reported it, and someone is looking into it. Theres changes being made behind the scenes right now, for the upcoming mediawiki 1.14 upgrade, something might have went missing that shouldnt have... We'll find out. --Uberfuzzy 21:04, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for other problems. --EightyOne (talk) 23:35, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

global
i notice your edits at your global page and wonder if wikia has made global the "import"? or has to be manually add to be able to import? --
 * its buried down in wikibits.js it seems.

you can use or

importScript actually just calls importScriptURI after creating the properly formated and encoded url based on the page title. --Uberfuzzy 06:12, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
