Fansite Affiliation
I'm interested in the progress of this and how we are working on getting them ads removed. I was in discussion with a Jagex Staff member today and they again said the ads are a prime focus when considering a site. I can promise way more traffic should the ads be removed or should we be given ads from another site outside gaming. On that note, if you take a look MechScape World, they offer Jagex adverts. You still get a revenue and Jagex profits from the audience? I could get some information for you about it if it's something of interest. 20:15, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Required plugins
Hmm.. that's strange. I am getting the same message. Try going to File:The_Sound_of_Guthix.ogg and File:The Sound of Guthix.ogg. Can you play the audio? 09:54, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Here's a message for you from S p l a s h : CO NG RA TU LA TI ON S! for reaching 81 Defence!! 19:44, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Animations
Mark, I noticed that the old emote animations on this page are very glitchy. They seem to "stick" and make the animation all garbled up. Is it intentional? Or is it a result of my computer graphics/browser? I realize that we have no method of re-obtaining those animations. -- 01:01, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply. I almost didn't realize what question you were referring to, since I completely forgot about it also.  21:39, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Why do you report stuff to the CVU?] I thought you were a helper, and that helpers had administrative powers. 22:19, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Spider on shaft
Oops. I was going to undo my redirect, but you beat me to it. Thanks. --Saftzie 17:28, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

signature
Just to let you know, if you want a stylized sig here you have to put it in a template and sign with the template. Or just use the name/date standard sig. If you need help on that, ask Chess, I think he does some of that stuff. Thanks for understanding,--Degenret01 17:58, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

please read before you delete.... the certificate is NOT required no matter what the runescape official page says

Re:CoTag
That's fine by me; I've changed it now. By the way, when we make Tweets, should we "@Runescape" or "@OfficialJagex"? Would we include that tag if we were tweeting about, let's say, reaching the 15000 article milestone? PS - I love the new background. Cheers, 06:21, May 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the clarification. 13:27, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Question about signing up
When signing up on the page to join the triumphvirate with the wiki, is that all we need to do? Is no posting on the forums required once we do that? Thanks, 01:32, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Dialogues and Triumvirate OS page
Hiya! I saw your conversation with OfficialJagex Twitter page:

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100524122514/sharephoto/images/4/45/DialogueAllowed.png

Nice work! Do you plan to announce this in a Yew Grove, or on the RfD or something?

2nd point is about the Triumvirate OS page. I think it'd be best to have a few separate pages. An info page (RuneScape:Off-site/Triumvirate) for information about how we interact with the triumvirate thing, a discussion page (RuneScape talk:Off-site/Triumvirate) for discussing how we use the feature and new events and a members page (RuneScape:Off-site/Triumvirate/Members) for keeping track of the members that have been added to the team and for new ones to add their name. I think the members list will get fairly long soon enough, so would be better linked to on a separate page. But these are all just suggestions; it's totally up to you how to change it. Cheers, 12:34, May 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's completely fine by me. It'll probably promote the signup better and attract more users. And that was a super-fast reply. Cheers, 12:39, May 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Forum:Official Twitter Account: Can that be closed, or is there something else you'd like to do? Cheers,  06:54, May 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ted, on the sign-up list for the Triumvirate shouldn't our In-game names be there? 19:01, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd be happy to go around checking. And I know a few of them already from ingame. 20:09, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

Message on twitter
Can you add a message on twitter about the upcoming wikifest, It seems like one of the things the twitter should be used for.Thanks 09:25, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hey
lol I had no idea you where on RuneWiki xD 15:15, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia must love you by now 15:20, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

You may be able to help...
Take a look at my user page. If you can, delete the overlapping links and green "More" box. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it. Thanks -- 18:20, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Userpage Vandalism
Ya, I was wondering why he did that myself. Possible someone else using the account. I left him the warning because I had tried reverting that edit as well, but got the rollback failed message. 21:06, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Skin
I noticed that you put the purge' bit in the code; I thought that auto updated it. I'll update my code. I could help with the code if you want. 00:12, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

my town
Did you sysnop me on the mytown wiki yet? 20:41, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

...
Honestly, I leave for 20 minutes and the wiki falls apart. Thanks for helping with cleanup :) 23:52, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ahaha, nice to know people do miss me when I leave. Wait, what do you mean you were exaggerating?? Nonsense... 23:57, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I haven't. What is this word? 00:02, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

I liek ur werld m0p
But I has a suggestion! That tiny island to the east of Karamja is Rock Island Prison. Make a note of it! 22:06, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * It was one of my favorite quests because of the prison breakout sequence. It wasn't just *use chisel on bars lolol* or something convoluted like most other quests have. I felt like macguyver! 22:19, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * You felt like you were making a mockery of yourself on a world of warcraft commercial? 22:23, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think its the island where you first meet Chuck during Hunt for Red Raktuber. At first I thought this only because I knew the island would be on the map but couldn't find any other unidentified land masses, so I looked at the articles and I found that you can talk to chuck with a greegree and the only explanation for player being able to use a greegree there would be if it was close to ape atoll, which this island is. I'm still not certain though. 22:32, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Talk page stalker confirms it's Chuck's island.  22:41, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, and Eagle's Peak should go to Eagles' Peak (mountain).  22:43, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * No article about it... yet! 22:47, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

My messed up wysiwyg editor
This is what it looks like.


 * Earlier I encountered this issue again, and it automatically switched to the MediaWiki editor, and wouldn't switch back... Hmm. Is the WYSIWIG usually really finicky? I am not vot, I am Melon! 20:47, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

watchlist link
it now says " " at top... could you fixed that as I see you did it. Thanks. 00:03, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Extension:PageCSS
I got this message from Wikia after sending them the link you gave me.


 * ''Wow, that's shocking. Never knew that was actually on our servers. However, the
 * ''original issue still remains. PageCSS was only designed to work with Monobook,
 * ''so it's probably incompatible with Monaco. I say probably because, even though
 * ''it's on our system, we never configured it at all, so it's still about the same
 * state as untriggerable.

Oh well. 18:56, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * This reminds me of the message you get at the end of World of Goo (it's a video game). "Game over. Time to go do other things now." 19:09, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

One other thing about your skin. I noticed you assigned a class to the Header template, though that is not solving the problem that the outline colour remains the same. 23:00, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/1249/errorl.png
 * Sometimes the colours don't look that great together. 17:50, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

I switched to a css import for the skin, but it does not appear to be working. Can you look at it? 15:42, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Archive
I recently made a new template, Template:Archive list and then I got to thinking, since you were out making classes for all these different templates, is that something that has to be done every time a new template is made? 21:45, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Is there any way I can help? What exactly needs to be done? 22:51, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * So I don't need to actually define the class in the css files? 22:57, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh. Well yuh see I don't really know hwo to do that. So I'll just let the people do their own themes >_> 23:56, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Pop-up closebutton
Thanks, I've made changes to the script at RuneScape:Survey and the item compare script in use on various item pages. I also caught a nasty bug in Internet Explorer due to an unusual interaction between the survey script and the Facebook script -- 22:02, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very muchly, kind sir  15:18, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Achievements
Poor Mark :( 14:30, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Your last name
What is it? I've never really understood the German von or the Dutch van. Is it van Alphen or just Alphen? And when you're sorted alphabetically into a list, do you go with the V's or with the A's? The people with van in their names in America capitalize the V and get sorted with the V's, but I'm not sure if that's what you guys do in Europe. 14:56, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Enable/disable variables
I'll work on that. A few of them already have "switch" variables but I don't think they are documented anywhere so I'll put up a new project page for it. -- 03:54, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Vandalwatch Gadget
I don't think Vandalwatch should be listed as a Gadget, given that it was never past the Beta stage and currently doesn't do anything. Think you could remove it? Thanks,

Internet Explorer...
...does not fail. It's my preferred browser. :O 21:13, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I could never betray Microsoft. 21:34, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * No thanks. I'm happy with IE.  21:49, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Do helpers get wikia tags now?
What that says ^^. 19:17, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * The tag is made, at any rate  19:20, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm....staff/helper make the same tag...lol. I knew about the staff one already.  It would seem they might want to make them slightly different.   19:28, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * The hover-over text is different. 19:29, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

Welcomenotice Class
Hi, Tedjuh. You told everyone to add class="welcomenotice" to any personal welcome template they may have. Unfortunately, that made my welcome template look terrible, so I changed it to class="custom-welcomenotice". I suggest you ask everyone to do that instead so they don't get the same result, but you should still be able to do what you intended. Thanks. 22:01, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Re: CSS question
I'm pretty sure that is the share toolbar. .WikiaFooter .toolbar is the element which has the black-blue-black gradient. 21:04, September 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't see what you're talking about. 23:51, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for removing test4 and warn4. I came back and got a very pleasant surprise. 16:08, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Namespaces
Hi Mark, I was wondering if Wikia would be willing to raise the maximum number of allotted namespaces for the RSW. We're thinking of starting a thread to create a Charm log namespace that would be protected in some way, to prevent vandalism. The idea was approved in Forum:Preventing charm log vandalism, but we've come across a few implementation issues. Currently, our two custom namespaces are Exchange and Update. If raising the limit is not allowed, we are willing to remove some of our current namespaces, such as Forum talk, Exchange talk, and Update talk to clear up room for the new namespace. Thanks, 00:40, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * What's this "we" stuff? 01:27, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Logo mogul
Hello there, here you stated that File:Wiki-wordmark.png now had the old File:Wiki wide.png from the Quartz skin uploaded in its place, however, the Sword logo is showing still. Wondering if you accidentally reverted the image or if the servers are being wonky again. (Keeping in mind that the File:Wiki wide.png is the only beta-functioning logo we have left that's been confirmed by consensus).-- 18:42, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Would deleting File:Wiki-wordmark.png and uploading the file from File:Wiki-wide.png over it work? -- 18:46, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Wiki-wordmark.png‎
Did you just scale down File:Wiki wide.png? I made a trimmed version that is the required size here, it is scaled but just a little and the current version is a little blurry from the scaling. Upload pl0x? 21:40, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

Checkuser
Well hi! Could you run a checkuser on Special:Contributions/Sirnot1, Special:Contributions/Tonris1, and Special:Contributions/Stopme? Thanks -- 21:47, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * You sir are the best. Thanks for the help. -- 03:09, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Logo and skin
Hi Mark, when the (unfortunate) transfer to Oasis takes place in three days, we'll need a temporary logo and skin in place until we can pick new ones. The only logo that's approved by consensus and fits in the new size requirements is File:Wiki wide.png, so that's the one we must use. As for the skin, we really don't have one approved, so we'll need to use the default. Does Oasis have some kind of default skin that's similar (in color scheme) to Monaco Sapphire? If so, that's our best bet until some kind of meaningful discussion takes place about a new skin. Thanks, 15:09, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Regex
Aren't Wikipedia URLs probably going to contain "en." as we are the English rs wiki and those linking would get the link from the English Wikipedia? 19:21, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

Contacting Jagex
Hi Mark,

I saw you contacted Mod Hohbein during Forum:Delete book contents?. Could you please tell me how you got in contact with him?

Thanks,

10:31, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

Colour Names
Hey mark, fancy running into you on RunescapeWiki. Anyways, how did you guys achieve coloured names for (important) users? Does it still involve the old Monaco Code?  Imdill3 21:18, November 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * (Dang that was fast lol) Nice hearing from ya' too Mark. Thanks  Imdill3 21:22, November 16, 2010 (UTC)

Mark are you there? I need assistance 02:15, November 26, 2010 (UTC)

Main Page
I undid your edit to the main page. The Wiki News section transcludes the contents of the site notice, and it appears at the top, right under the Contents section. If anonymous users scroll far enough down to vote in the poll or read the wiki post, they certainly will see the sitenotice. Cheers, 16:14, November 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem.  16:19, November 26, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Re:Help
Well, err, Last night a mass spam happened- any chance you know how to "nuke" someone" or undo a full list? 17:07, November 26, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Re:Re:Help
Sorry, I should have been more specific- when I first messaged you last night, I was kinda in a panic mode searching for any active Helper- this problme is accually on Habbo.wikia.com. The bombing came from IP: 202.45.119.15. I have much reason to belive he is from 4chan. 17:19, November 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks again Mark. Happy Editing 17:59, November 26, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Shoutbox
Hi. I checked the shoutbox in the quartz skin, and i saw you saying [27 Nov] * MarkvA is. At Special:WidgetsDashboard [27 Nov]  Widget* That special page doesn't exist... Could you please explain what u meant? 11:57, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
