User talk:Lcarsdata

2024-August-

Please read before posting: This is the talk page of user Lcarsdata. I no longer use a userpage or any subpages to allow me to concentrate more on editing, rather than my own userspace. I reply to any comments left on the talk page they were left and would appreciate it if you did the same, to keep discussions together. Thanks.

Hi!
Good to see a talk page for you here on the Central Wikia. (Sing? tee hee) --CocoaZen 17:20, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Really wonderful design
I love what you did. If I could ask for a couple of changes (as I am design challenged myself).
 * We need the navigation to be more prominent - ideally the 7 continents and as many as 50 cities in a horizontal box BELOW welcome and ABOVE news and browse
 * newbies will click on the pictures in the welcome box - we could really use a hyperlink below each picture describing what city it is, and pointing to that city page
 * The browse section is pretty choppy for readers. Is there a better way to organize it?

Thanks again!!

 * Gil didn't give you this, so here is your bronze taskstar, with thanks! [[Image:bronze taskstar.png]] -- sannse (talk) 21:46, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

made some edits
The only thing I noticed missing from the original is the "call" to join the mailing list. I tried adding it, but screwed up the formating :-)  Gil

sorry again
I was just following your instructions on my talk page for how I should move the page you designed to the home page. Would it be better if you paste it in, or do we need to revert all the changes via the database, to insure there are no copies with my name on it? - sorry again Gil
 * If you get an admin to do what I listed on your talk page everything will work out correctly. I tried to contact User:Billk the World Wiki sysop but something happened to my comment. I will try again. Lcarsdata (Talk) 10:44, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I sat with angela today, she's supposed to be working in it. Let me know if it's done to your satisfaction, as I seem to be making every newbie mistake in the book :-)   Gil|talk Just double checking that you're happy now :-)  I wanted to thank you for the help, and ask if there's anything else you think we should fix.

Towns, Villages and Cities
Hi! Your cities: user page still says "[Template fetch failed for http://www.wikicities.com/wiki/Template%3AUser%3ALcarsdata?action=render; sorry]"; but I guess you want to redirect it so I'll leave it alone. However, other less wikisavvy readers (eg me) will be a bit puzzled at reaching Wikia Central when they were trying to reply to a comment on a separate Wikia (as, for example, I was a few minutes ago, not really seeing much difference between "adding" a page and "creating" it, if it already "exists" just waiting to be edited). I recommend you have an ordinary talk page there but have a prominent notice at the top inviting people to talk to you here. Robin Patterson 06:14, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

You do indeed appear to have fixed it up now! No apparent duplications I have noticed, and clear indication that you want people to talk to you here rather than on cities:. Your User page still had that non-functional "Template:User:..." thing near the top yesterday, I think, but I see no actual problem with it. Keep up the good work (and tell us more about where you live)!! Robin Patterson 06:16, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Oops!
Sorry for the message, I clicked the wrong link -- sannse (talk) 17:59, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, different engines just render things differently, just because a browser passes the test doesn't mean that everything that looks bad has bad CSS. I know that the bar drops down in Opera. But When I implement a fix for that, Safari's bar breaks in the way it does in Opera without the fix. And both Safari and Opera pass the Acid2 test, so it's not bad CSS, it's just a difference in how the two engines render. I requested some html to be added to the site that will implement that fix in opera only, but it hasn't been added. And since Safari is the primary mac browser, and it's engine is used in multiple browsers over multiple OS's and Opera's is only used in Opera, we cannot support a fix for Opera in the good nature of making the site accessible to all Computers until we move and I gain access to source code, or the Wikia admins add the fix we need.
