I sorta need help

Hey Equinox, not sure who to ask so I'm leaving this on your user page. I uploaded an image at File:GuildLogo-Heroes_Of_Chaos.jpeg. Could you help me put the Guild Logo on my Guild Page, at Heroes Of Chaos (Guild)? The current template only accepts png files! Sederts 14:24, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

It is stated here: Help:Creating a guild page. I changed it for you.--Trying 15:51, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! Sederts 11:40, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Clarification of the purpose of this page

Greetings Equinox,

I am confused about the actual purpose of this page. Is the purpose of this page specifically for formatting and information on this wiki, or is it for asking about information about the actual Spiral Knights game as well? I ask this so I do not post any unfitting questions on this page in the future. --Axzorgan

A talk page is generally used for conversation related to the wiki. This includes things regarding the User's edits, or advice on things that the user is working on. I've heard that "as long as it's related to the wiki, it's ok to talk about on the talk page". We don't want Equinox's talkpage ending up like this: Jeb's Minecraftwiki talk page, or Notch's talk page, which was deleted because of spam. GMs probably keep themselves uncontactable when it comes to the game to prevent swarming and being asked about things that don't even concern them, such as new develepment for the game or being asked to reveal spoilers etc. I'm pretty sure if you had something to ask Equinox, there's probably a heap of admins on the forum that could answer you question. (sorry if i sound offensive) --HexZyle 02:05, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
However, I guess it depends on the question. (and what Equinox is willing to allow on their page) --HexZyle 02:14, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
Axzorgan, this page is used to communicate with me. Mostly about the wiki (anything from formatting to images to content), but if you had a dire need to ask me something, that would work too. For general things about the game as it pertains to your own gameplay, you are better off sticking with the forums. --Equinox 03:21, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
Thank you very much. --Axzorgan

Love Aura Icon

Hi Equinox! Is it possible to swap out the current Love Aura pic in the template for a new similarly named one? I have a more accurate screenshot of the icon, on my talk page. CobaltMoon 22:42, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Magnus uploaded one. It will hopefully eventually update. --Equinox 19:02, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Table Trouble

http://wiki.spiralknights.com/index.php?title=Gremlin&oldid=66849

I'm trying to edit information in on the new gremlins, but the tables are breaking for no apparent reason. Re-doing the edit from scratch doesn't help, and I've had others check to make sure I didn't do anything wrong.

Because nobody can figure out what is going wrong, it's looking like an issue with the Wiki itself. I'd appreciate it if you could look into it. ~Katmint 02:06, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Looks like SpiralMike took care of it. Generally when you start seeing code like that, there's missing closing tags, so count carefully to make sure all the {{ }} come in pairs. --Equinox 16:37, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Proper way to redirect?

Would the correct way to redirect be:

Admin > Game Master

Shop > Vendor

Alchemy > Crafting

Enemy > Monster

-TheGME

Sure. Some of those already exist as properly tagged redirects. SpiralKnights:Redirect shows the various tags you can use. --Equinox 16:13, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Okay. -TheGME

Error on List of sets page

A while back, when reorganizing the List of sets page, due to the stacked template nature of the page, I accidentally caused a piece of code to become plain text. Me, and a couple other people have tried to fix it since then, but have only caused the entire page to break. Do you mind looking into it? The error in question is in the Surge Breaker Set Row, Alchemy Path Column. --HexZyle 01:56, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

No need for Equinox to step in on this one, you just accidentally removed the "}}" code, which is used to close the template. I've fixed it for you. ~Katmint 02:05, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
Not so fast there, Scroll to the bottom of the page. I reverted the page for now, one box of broken code is much more appealing then half a page shattered. Thanks for trying, but if the code was that easy to fix I would have corrected it already :D --HexZyle 03:34, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
No, it is that easy, someone left an extra }} at the end that wasn't supposed to be there. It was stopping the table from collapsing due to the missing }}, but when you add in the }} that's supposed to be there it blows up the table. Re-fixed. ~Katmint 05:15, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
Excellent work, thanks. I knew there was an odd set of brackets but with the sheer amount of them on the page, not to mention the odd location of the break, I couldn't figure out where. --HexZyle 13:15, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Question

I've made a few more pages, Including "Lost Soul"

And I have some ideas for the game. Though, I don't know where to post them. Do we have a Suggestions page, or does the forum have a thread? -TheGME

Yep. The Suggestions Forum is my favourite :3 --HexZyle 19:24, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. -TheGME

Blatant infringment

I have a set of meticulously crafted pages and templates. you have seen me working on them, and you are aware that they are mine. recently a user, A2000 has been copy pasting my code, and claiming it to be their own.

I have gone through once already and simply added a credit tag at the bottom (its the same one that's already on the bottom of my focal pages, so I wasn't obnoxious about it. The user, removed them, and added to their user page an actual claim they where responsible for the work.

as a result I have replaced all of the copies with the credit tag. if this affects anyone else's pages, I apologize. I will be more than happy to replace them with an original work. no charge. of course.

I greatly appreciate any help you can provide in the matter and wish you happy spirals, ciao! - TheTric

It's a Three Rings wiki, not a private code host. As it says on the bottom of the page: "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." We do not put things in the main namespace with bylines. Things on the wiki are for the wiki & wiki community, not restricted personal private usage. --Equinox 23:36, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
Not asking for private use, heck I greatly prefer public use. but what I am asking is that credit is given. A2000 even admits to removing the credit tags, so... --TheTric 01:55, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
As I said above, credit tags do not belong in the main namespace. --Equinox 02:04, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
Not sure I understand what you mean by that... --TheTric 04:40, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
We don't add in "by so-and-so" or "edited by so-and-so" in any articles (and associated templates) that do not have a XXXX: prefix. The edit history shows who has contributed what. --Equinox 05:25, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
Okee dokey, I got that now, although I did happen to go Rifling through the namespace and came across, essentially needless, copies of the originals, I A2000 would like he's welcome to edit the original pages instead of duplicating everything. 2 heads ARE better than one ^_^. well, I'm gonna get back to enjoying spiral knights now ^_^ ciao

I think he created those after you edited it to force the byline as he considered that change vandalism, so it's mostly just been a misunderstanding on various sides. All's well, thanks. --Equinox 16:04, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

RE: "Blatant Infringement"

I have been accused of copying and pasting by The Tric. I would like to direct you to this link to explain my suituation - http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/46705. Thanks.

TheTric replied to your post on the forums
Just a quick question - can I undo The Tric's edits on my pages so I can add my own stuff? Sorry to waste your time ^^
I think he undid most of them, but may have missed some. Feel free to fix it back. Making sure folks settle misunderstandings and clarifying Spiral Knights wiki policy is my job and is never a waste of time. --Equinox 03:03, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

What to do in this argumental case?

Say someone removes an edit I made. I post on their talk page asking why the content was removed, with no edit note at all. He posts a few points on my talk page stating his reasons. I produce a counter-argument and post it on his talk page. He doesn't respond, possibly because he hasn't been using the wiki for a bit, but his edit still stands. What do I do? Do I just undo his edit? Do I attempt to draw more attention to the page edit so that other wiki users can leave their input? Or do I get your final word on it? --HexZyle 01:47, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

[Here's the edit], Here's my comment on his page, Here's his comment on mine
I'm not sure what you think about me using the [WP:AADD] page but it's kinda like the most amazing page I've ever found and I use it alot for internet courtesy whenever I'm on the net and debating something with someone --HexZyle 01:57, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
For this wiki, if you can't reach an agreement, then you come to me. I think that items that are not available to players do not need to be in the main helmet section. You could make either a sub-page for helmet or another page such as Game Master/Equipment or List of Game Master equipment (probably this one would be the best since there is equipment other than that helmet that only GMs have). --Equinox 13:51, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks very much. Um, terribly sorry about the spamming of edits. I wasn't sure if it was appropriate to use the minor edit box. But then again, it kinda makes sense as i see bots doing it. This category thing was just kind of an experimental thing, I've never used categories before. But the whole thing turned out to be much bigger than I planned. Also, I'll try and get around to changing the names of the categories. --HexZyle 18:55, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Heh, I myself have gotten into wiki projects that balloon up as well, so I know the feeling. I think this is a great idea though. When the categorization is done, we'll see about standardizing it in an other links section or something for the accessory page & individual accessories' pages. --Equinox 03:05, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Fan-Work

Dear Equinox (and/or other administrators),

Recently, my friend's and I have been created some fan-work of Spiral Knights (writing, stories, art, ect.), though with nowhere to display them amongst others. I have considered the Spiral Knights Wiki, though I wished to make sure before making any action. If this wiki is open to fan-work, than I shall be posting it on my guild page. If not, I would appreciate knowing the proper place to submit this kind of material.

Sincerely,

--Axzorgan

You can upload art if the artist is willing to release it under the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license where anyone can take and alter the work. For fan art, you can use the {{fan art|artistsname}} file tag. We currently do not have a good space to host writing projects, so those are best hosted elsewhere. --Equinox 00:26, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Question

Hello, I have a suggestion for the wiki. Now, I know SpiralSpy images are not allowed, but what I want to suggest is nice and practical. I thought it would be great to have the models viewed in SpiralSpy, and spun 360 degrees so users could see it entirely, saved in .gif format and uploaded over the current ones. There are several weapons which are just too big, like the Warhammer, which are hard to get a picture of. This would be something large that I'd be willing to do over the course of several days, but there are some technical difficulties, like the problem with changing images. Just thought it would be nice, let me know what you think. --Tersakaff 13:57, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

No Spiral Spy images for articles. --Equinox 00:26, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

I understand. --Tersakaff 15:02, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

This Guyjin person...

Guyjin

He's caused such a mess with his uncropped uploads that I think he should be suspended from uploading files to the wiki. It just gives other people a lot of cleaning up to do after him. --Tersakaff 15:03, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

He hasn't uploaded anything new lately and most of all, nobody has left him a note asking him to crop images differently. Unless you have had a discussion with an editor about an issue, it's really inappropriate to ask that someone be blocked from editing without having notified them about the issue. --Equinox 01:44, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

I think someone DID tell him to stop it, but if he's not doing it anymore... --Tersakaff 13:56, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Nope, all edits to user talk pages are in the history of that page. Nobody mentioned it to him directly. --Equinox 02:21, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Why did you delete my page

Hey Equinox,

Why did you delete my user page? The information was made by me and i have come on and it says you deleted it and i would like to know why

I would really like to know so please tel me

Regards, Hpland

User pages are supposed to have the "User:" Tag before it followed by your login name, which is normally where clicking your own name on the top right leads you. In your case, it's here: User:Hpland. Equinox probably just deleted a non-user-tagged page you made, but all of its content was likely copied over to your actual user page, so it shouldn't be a problem ;) ExTribble 03:44, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Cleaning up accessory images

I noticed there are A LOT of uncropped images for accessories, so I decided to take them alphabetically and reupload the uncropped images, or at least those I can, it's gonna take long to find someone who has every color of the wings and willing to borrow them to me. I think this is necessary because, well, they're simply improper uncropped like that.

I want to ask, should I reupload images that do not include the character window, but include the whole character, not just the area around the accessory, and those with a weird angle/in drawn weapon position, so they'd all follow a template?

I believe I've gotten the "base" image for each accessory showing a second angle and those are on each accessory page. Because all accessories of one type tend to just be different coloring of the same model, you don't necessarily need to have multiple views for each one. However, if you want to do it that way, feel free to do it that way. My preference has been to try to crop to the section of the knight with the accessory because a smaller image will have a thumbnail showing more detail than the thumbnail of an entire knight. --Equinox 00:50, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
Yup, while the model may be the same, the colors differ and it would be nice to have a well-organized wiki. And I didn't mean multiple views, I meant the same angle for every image. But I think I'll replace just the ones that aren't cropped (90% belong to Guyjin..), and leave the others alone. ^^ --Tersakaff 15:24, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Templates In Need of Protection?

Hi Equinox,

I think we might have a few pages in need of protection, if you think it seems reasonable:

Recently, someone made some modifications (accidentally or intentionally - I'm not sure) to one of the Documentation templates, and naturally it made a bit of a mess for all pages using documentation (i.e. a lot! :x ). The other ones I listed are more suggestions, because I see some of their counterparts are already protected. Maybe these have been left open for a specific reason, though.

Thanks!

    ~ Aecarus 16:14, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

I would add the guild template to the list since lots of people have used it to start their guild page--Trying 17:09, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
Equinox had already locked that one a while ago, actually. (And it's a good thing too, haha.)     ~ Aecarus 22:13, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
Generally I only protect things that there have been issues with folks editing it. I've protected the documentation templates since there's definitely no reason to edit them. I've left the others alone for now unless issues crop up. --Equinox 19:55, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Look at what he wrote on my user page User:Trying I gave him a warning on his talk page. --Trying 06:06, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

My Guild Page is being changed by someone I don't want to change it!

My guild page is Anonymous Inc (Guild). My friend has been adding texts to it that I don't want on it. Can you please block Firefistace from the guild page? We have discussed this, but he still refuses to stop. Please help!

Taking a look at the page, it was a single edit and it didn't look like vandalism. You're going to have to work it out with your guild member. --Equinox 00:19, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
As a question related to the mechanics of being an administrator of a wiki, isn't it true that you can't lock the page against any one user? Can't you only lock it for admins only or not lock it at all? --HexZyle 02:31, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
Oh, and also, this is one I've been wondering about for a while. How do I link to a Category or Image page without the link doing annoying wiki stuff? --HexZyle 01:45, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
Yes, with this wiki's settings, it is all or nothing. [[:Category:Urmom]] [[:Image:Test.png]] for your other question. --Equinox 03:34, 22 April 2012 (UTC)


Regarding Damage dealt by monsters

I'd like to know if all the articles about monsters (E.g.fiends) have updated info regarding what damage they deal. (E.g Jellies deal Split Normal/Piercing). I dont want to be making loadout's based on the damage references from the wiki if their all outdated. --Enclavean

Correct Wiki Info

Since you are part of three rings staff, is it possible that you can get access to correct game mechanics from the developers for topics that are in dispute and possibly will not be settled anytime soon? The poison damage discussion is bothersome, and it doesn't seem to me like anyone has fully proven it either way, and I still hear people in game using the wiki page as the stone cold truth. The discussion seems to not have moved in the last few months.

I noticed here that at one point, since there was an error outstanding on the wiki so long that the developer himself decided to comment and rectify it.

If you are not allowed to share info due to some sort of agreement, would you still be allowed to state whether or whether not the Poison page is accurate in regards to healing damage? --HexZyle 02:33, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

HaxZyle I know for sure that poison does damage. If you want firsthand proof then just go to T3 and when a mender places down a healing mist, throw a poison vial at something in it.--Trying 02:50, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
I don't want to sound stubborn, but the large debate on the poison page leads me to doubt. I would probably not be able to accurately measure it myself, and was wondering in not only this case, but other cases where something difficult to discern what is the truth, that a GM let us know if we were correct or not. --HexZyle 12:09, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
That debate occurred almost a year ago and was because what poison actually did had been changed around.--Trying 15:04, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
Fair enough. I mistook it for being recent since someone posted on it recently. Anyway, here's a question: Is GM "Armor" a costume that gains heat, or Armor without a defense rating? --HexZyle 19:40, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Requesting Image Moves

Instead of deleting the image and uploading under a new name, I thought it would probably be more reasonable to just move them to the new name. I'm really sorry to bother you with something trivial like this but since I don't know how to add images to a template that don't share the page name, could you move these images to thier correct names?

Instead of being imageprefix-GM_style_equip-imagesuffix.png, they should be imageprefix-GM_equip,_style_imagesuffix.png

Not sure if these are worth moving, as they are all duplicates. Should I just reupload them and delete or will you move them?

Sorry that you have to clean up after me. I really hate it when I get so far in a project, then realise I've made a huge mistake with the formatting. (Just like the Category:Themes project) :|

--HexZyle 08:23, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay, I'll move 'em all right now. Let me know when you've moved the pages or whatnot to use the new names and I'll zap the redirects. (Edit: The tailed helmet file doesn't exist, so it didn't need moving...) --Equinox 02:04, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

HELP! My good account got hacked!!!

My account was relatively good, all 5stars, around 14 of them, and one or two good uvs on each one... and a lot of accessories! Someone hacked onto my account, changed the password, deleted my character, and made me start over! My account was something similar to this: (search Apophis-Set on wiki, go to Anonymous Inc., click link from founder section) (this was updated a while ago) Now, the log time is something like 1 minute, and my character is at rescue camp, completely new, in proto armor. Please help fix this! I spent a notable amount of money on this game, so I would appreciate it if someone restored my account.

Outdated image

http://wiki.spiralknights.com/File:Progress-window.png It doesn't contain the Shadow Lair progress, thus it's outdated. As not to break the ... iunno, tradition (?) of you uploading such important images, I didn't put up an updated version myself, can you do that?

Shadow Lair progress only shows up after you complete T3 clearance. It still is outdated since the progress tab should show what you need to advance to the next tier. I'll probably upload a new pic.--Trying 14:20, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
I should probably redo all of the ones on the character page. Thanks for pointing it out. --Equinox 17:49, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
Guild images are outdated too and may confuse people.
I just looked and I don't see anything particularly outdated on the guild page. Is there something specific that I'm not noticing? --Equinox 19:04, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

New guide

http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/55711

Hello, I'd like to ask you if this would be an appropiate guide for the wiki. Seeing as end-game peeps tend to spend their money towards accessories and costumes in general, they might seek advice or guidance, and some may come to the wiki. I've made sure it's pretty accurate, technically of course, since beauty is subjective. This includes only stuff that applies in general, not personal taste. I'd keep it updated and all that, as well as remove the personal part, probably repost it in the discussion of it or whatevs. --Tersakaff 20:27, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Sure, just tag it with {{opinion}} and be ready to have the other SK fashionistas edit it. --Equinox 03:05, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
I'd have a problem with other people editing it- solely because it would get cluttered with information from different sides and points of view, which may be more or less personal. Thus if I do write it up, I'd rather it be edit protected or something so that only I can edit it, from a technical, not personal point of view. It's not that I'd have a problem with people editing it but if that would happen, the chances it would get fragmented with other people's personal opinions are high. I'll submit only if such edit protection exists (everybody but a certain user is restricted to edit it), or if I can undo most edits that may be made to it (since some of them may be true and from a technical, as objective as it can get, point of view) without anybody going "dafuq you doing man?" --Tersakaff 12:12, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
Could you make it a subpage of your userpage? That way the page would technically be "yours", and you could do with the page what you wanted. --HexZyle 14:11, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
Hmm.. how do I make that? Derp. --Tersakaff 22:18, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

I've been getting the forums down for maintenance message for over a week now, even though I know the forums aren't actually down. I've cleared all caches, cookies and any internet history that could effect it, I've tried via several different browsers, used several different computers (Which previously had never accessed to forums before) and tried via mobile, yet none of these work. From what I understand this isn't an exclusive problem, there's a thread on the Steam forums about this as well as threads on the official forum (Which I obviously can't access to read for any solutions) so I was wondering if you have any idea what could be causing this?

They're looking into this issue, but no word as to when it might be figured out. It did happen to me before and what seemed to work for me was resetting my router. --Equinox 00:58, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

One more file needs moving

I didn't have to move the GM Helmet, Winged page because someone had already created it. They had an image of it too, but since then the image has disappeared...or maybe I was just imagining it. The deletion logs don't show anything. Anyway, I have this file leftover from when you were moving the images so do you mind moving it into place with the page?

Also, is it ok to use the {{PAGENAME}} template frequently or does that yuck up the page? Should I use it in tables/graphs etc but not in description texts? --HexZyle 02:51, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

PAGENAME usage is just fine. It's not an intensive task as far as I know. Feel free to use it in templates. I wouldn't use it in the actual text in the article pages as new editors wanting to contribute will have no idea why it's there. --Equinox 02:53, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

ok

Equinox I'm sorry about that but why are you saying that the swarm is a not a family type and can you look at the history in it —Preceding unsigned comment added by Catboy1497 (talk • contribs) 03:15, 18 June 2012. Please sign your posts with ~~~~

what is considered a copyright violation?

Are SK images like File:GuildLogo-Entity.jpg considered violations?--Trying 01:40, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

No, SK images on the SK wiki are okay :) Just as long as someone's not claiming they drew it when it was obviously done by OOO. --Equinox 01:41, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
they were using it for their guild image--Trying 01:42, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
That's fine. --Equinox 01:44, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Internal error

Category:Potentially_unused_items is giving me an internal error. Editing it just breaks it further. ~Katmint 03:23, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Never mind, it fixed itself. I guess the wiki had a little hiccup since it somehow duplicated my edit as well. ~Katmint 03:26, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
It seems like a few of the categories are giving errors like the proposed delete category--Trying 03:28, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
I think I have the fix in the wiki issues thread, but here it is for you: Click on the edit tab, in the URL bar replace the "edit" at the end with "purge" and then load that link. Magically fixed. --Equinox 13:48, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Hijacking

Sorry about that. I didn't read too thoroughly on this. My bad X_X ♣Marona♣ 20:02, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Guild Logo Deletion

Dear Equinox and/or other administrators,

On the seveteenth of June the guild logo for the Brothers of Eternity (Guild) was deleted. Though I do not know why this is so, as it has been there for quite some time. Please tell me what was wrong with it so that if possible, I can fix or change it.

~Axzorgan

Your logo was named "File:GuildLogo-GuildName.png", the default template image name, causing it to display instead of the placeholder link. I've corrected the template on your guild page to File:GuildLogo-Brothers of Eternity.png so feel free to upload it there. ~Katmint 00:53, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Problem with New Accessory Names

Equinox, there appears to be a problem with the Solstice Crowns and Crests, apparently their name won't display images properly, and will only work if "Crown of" or "Crest of" is displayed.

~Violet 20:03, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

I think it's all resolved now. --Equinox 21:46, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Deleted page

Hi Equinox, i noticed that you deleted my wiki page but i don't understand why, can you tell me what i did wrong?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Geezoo (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Your user page is still hereUser:Geezoo/Zeeca--Trying 15:28, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Done!

I managed to tag almost all the images. The ones left are ones that I am unsure of what category they should go in if they even belong in the wiki.--Trying 06:16, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Woo hoo! Amazing work, excellent job! I'll take a look at the stragglers. --Equinox 01:48, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

what happened

All the images show up in red font and when I click on them it says there is no image uploaded.


Greetings!,

  • You probably need to update your clients such as Flash, Shockwave. I tend to have those problems since these pages update automatically
  • Otherwise, you need to upload or find a supported image file. good ones are (.png, .tiff, .bmp)
