Userboxes

Do you remember instructing me on how to change the text of a userbox? Well, I'm trying it now in my sandbox and it doesn't work... Well, could you explain why? =D --Lord Walter Thibault 12:51, 31 August 2008 (EDT)

Sorry, that's a special feature I built into the Nationality userboxes (and a few others, I think), and it's not implemented on most of the others. I suppose it'd be nice to do so at some point in the future, but presently they're not set up that way. What specifically are you trying to do? (Didn't feel like fishing through the sandbox to figure it out.) Right now, in order to change the text in most other default userboxes, you'll have to forego using the template and reproduce the userbox manually with the altered text. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 00:45, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

Ah... okay... well... maybe I can try to make those templates work with custom text too? Well, it's worth a try! =D Thanks anyway! --Lord Walter Thibault 04:00, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

Nope... can't find a way to make it work... well... hope someone can do it... --Lord Walter Thibault 13:24, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

Still Alive

Just in case anyone's wondering. I've recently moved (not far, but far enough to lose my access to the internet, at least temporarily). So between packing, moving, unpacking, various poorly-timed car-related issues, and trying to get the internet hooked up at the new place, I've had my hands full for a while. (For some strange reason, we're not allowed to get the internet set up here in our names. Instead we have to get the landlord to sign up for it in his name, and then pay him for it in addition to the rent. Just one more ridiculous hurdle to overcome.) Anyhow, it should all be over in the next couple of days, and I'll be back online for real instead of leeching off of the neighbor's unsecured wireless router. (Which I can only do from this borrowed laptop, as my desktop doesn't have a wireless device, and the one I've been trying to install for the past 3 days doesn't work at all either.) So in case anyone cares or anything, that's what's going on. Later. 00:47, 19 September 2008 (EDT)

Good to hear from you at last! I hope to see you fully back online soon. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 01:05, 19 September 2008 (EDT)

Well, that's good news! We've missed you 'round here. --GuildKnight^Talk2me 02:36, 19 September 2008 (EDT)

Good to hear from you and your return GLaDOS, err... Lurlock. :) --Timenn < talk > 06:28, 19 September 2008 (EDT)

Trendy Hippo (2)

If you remember my topic about Trendy Hippo, can you tell me when you might get back to the story/game?

Ps: The link is not, er..., linking Helper Unknown 19:36, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

To be honest, the project is kind of in a holding stage right now. I'm working on other projects, including one for a start-up game company which if it succeeds, we may end up starting development on my game at some point in the future. (There are about 3 other games in early development stage that would probably come first, but they've expressed an interest in creating my game in the future.) As for the site being down - I'll have to talk to my webmaster-guy, but I haven't been in touch with him in a while, and I don't think he has much interest in the project anymore. I'll probably end up rehosting the site at some point later on. (Or recreating it from scratch, as the old site was just a big spam-bucket last I looked.) I think I'll want to have someone local doing the webmastering, because at least then I can bug them to get things fixed more easily. I appreciate your interest, but it's possible I went public just a little too early on that. Guess I should update my user page one of these days then... --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 15:28, 26 September 2008 (EDT)

Thanks for your very detailed answer, Lurlock. Helper Unknown 17:07, 26 September 2008 (EDT)
