#ifexpr Error
I was trying to use this code in a template, but it throws up an error. The "[" character is never used, and all opened brackets/parentheses are closed. Can anyone find the error?

 * Hmmm.... let's see...

Nope sorry. But then again, I'm not that good at using #expr. 05:33, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * ^^I noticed Can't work out this one though.  05:34, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * By do you mean  ? -- 05:42, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Saftzie's right, this will work:

Glow
Is there a glow-like background in html, like this a bit

"Hello World!" "Hello World!"

this is close but I want what it looks like behind the box something like this (just the "Ohaidere" part)

"Hello World!" Ohaidere

"Hello World!" Ohaidere

I cheated by moving the "Hello World!"'s background to the right. Can anyone help? 02:16, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

I've added -webkit-box-shadow and now I see it. Unfortunately the only way I know of achieving a similar effect is to use a div with gradients. (Not the gradient class.) I'll give you an example later. 17:00, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * -moz-box-shadow only works in Firefox. Use the standard box-shadow also. 01:28, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * IE can suck it imo. 01:41, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * IE doesn't support box-shadow... 01:42, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, firefox doesn't and IE doesn't (IE can still suck it all the same), then what does? 01:49, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * WebKit browsers. Safari and Chrome. 01:50, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * But there's " " ... 01:55, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * -webkit-box-shadow is deprecated. 01:55, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fine, still means IE does none. But more to the whole point, can you help? 02:00, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * * facepalm* I'm a complete idiot. box-shadow</tt> isn't supported in WebKit browsers. Uh, how many cookies do I owe you?

Infobox monster
Would it be possible for infobox monster's weakness section to be changed so weaknesses written there would automatically add categories to the page (Category:Weak to stab, etc.) The function will only recognise the words: "stab", "slash", "crush", "ranged" and the words "magic", "fire", "water", "earth" and "air" would all add Category:Weak to magic to it. Any other text including "and" and "/" would not register anything. The default option would be no category. This would make the job of adding weakness categories much easier. Thanks, 02:00, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm awaiting a response from wikia to have string limits increase to make this possible.

External Sponsor Links
I'm not sure exactly how these work (signing up, vetting by Wikia, etc.), but I just visited Seaweed net without being logged on and got:
 * WoW Paladin Secrets
 * Want to reach level 80 fast? Check out this paladin guide for proven leveling strategies. The guide features quest walkthroughs and leveling locations, as well as top of the line build and equipment advice. Get your paladin guide now and start speed-leveling today!

I know anyone can click the Sponsor this page link and say they want to spend $5/month or $49/year and give their email address. What advertisers and Wikia does after that is a mystery I'm not willing to spend $5 to find out, but apparently there isn't much vetting involved. I know there were lots of discussions a while ago over what ads (Google, DoubleClick, or whatever) Wikia should and should not display on this wiki. Those folks here regularly in contact with Wikia staff get to handle this, I know, but do the admins of this wiki have a way to veto ads before they show up, or is there just going to be a flood of new questionable ads that have to be policed page by page? ('cuz that seems like it would be a real pain ...) -- 05:24, September 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * I saw it too =O  Sist em X  19:51, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * "do the admins of this wiki have a way to veto ads before they show up(?)", there isn't much they can do other than talk to wikia staff. "is there just going to be a flood of new questionable ads that have to be policed page by page?" probably...  20:00, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Notification of changes to RuneScape:Off-site/RuneHead
Is there a way a bot or something could leave me a message on my talk page any time RuneScape:Off-site/RuneHead is changed? That will allow me to keep up with updating the name changes as people post them. Previous solutions did not work for this situation. If there is no bot that can do this, okay, so be it. -- 05:40, September 20, 2010 (UTC) -- 05:40, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Following the page does not guarantee I see the change
 * 2) Email notification is not the answer
 * 3) Watchlist bot is not the answer.
 * Ask Q or TLUL specifically. I'm sure either one of them could create a javascript that puts a "you have new messages" type message on your screen every time its changed. 05:44, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Archives
I wish to archive my talk page, though I'm not sure how to go about it.


 * 1) Should I move my talk page to archive? (To keep the history of the discussions with the discussions)
 * 2) Or should I just copy and paste it? (To keep the history of the page on the page)

07:23, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I do the second as it's much easier to do and it's nice to keep all the history on one page. 07:27, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay. 07:42, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, the second one is easier. 07:44, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

A Question
How does one make an image from photobucket a link to a wiki page, specifically in a signature? Thank you. 01:32, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

Sig issues
My recent edit to User talk:ZamorakO o appears to have added the "Signatures" category to the page. I am guesssing this is because of the transclusion of my signature, though in my sig, the category is used with. Can someone take a look at my sig and try to fix it? 06:09, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Why is the link to your sidebar? 06:11, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Haha oops. This is the link. 06:12, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
