minor edit in character name

According to Fulvio Cecere himself and IMDb his character name was Alastair Thorne (with an A) not Alistair Thorne. I've changed it throughout the "Alastair Thorne" page (as well as on Fulvio's BS Wiki page which I updated from a stub) but I can't change it in the title/fileneme (so now on Fulvio's page it's pointing at an empty page until you change). Thanx. --MAD 07:38, 25 January 2007 (CST)

Ads at Hangarbay?

If you get a chance, I'd like to get the ads going at the hangarbay. I'm willing to do the gruntwork, but I'm not sure how it's accomplished. I found the adbrite javascript here at en, but it appears to be buried in javascript and I can't find a wiki page that it runs off of. I'd like to try adorning the hangarbay with all the different possible ad locations and orientations. --Steelviper 15:17, 8 January 2007 (CST)

Do you have FTP access? I belive it requires editing of the CSS. I could be wrong however so just have to wait for Shane to reply. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 05:38, 11 January 2007 (CST)

FTP is needed. The files to be needed to change are the skin templates. I have an Adbrite.php file created, but I need the new zone codes and need to add the switches in for the size of the ad. I'll do that this evening and then send you guys FTP access for the HB. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 06:23, 11 January 2007 (CST)

JavaScript question

Hi Shane. Thanks again for the userpage template. Now for my question ... I have a simple JavaScript to display a random quote, it's here. Is there any way I can use it on my userpage, have my userpage "call" out to it and display the output (the quote) ? Thanks for any explanation and assistance you can give me. JubalHarshaw 10:18, 11 January 2007 (CST)

User:JubalHarshaw/bsgbook.js - needs to be created and then you gotta install some hooks. Check out my javascript files for some insight. default.js and tabs.js are your best bet. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 13:47, 11 January 2007 (CST)

Thanks for the pointers. My programming skill is minimal, so it'll probably take me awhile to figure out. It was just something for my own amusement anyway. Cheers. JubalHarshaw 07:51, 12 January 2007 (CST)

Fixed. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 12:32, 20 January 2007 (CST)

Thanks for the warm welcome

Just wanted to say thanks for the warm welcome ;) Though i really must say i envy you for that monitor of yours ;) --Destotelhorus 01:04, 13 January 2007 (CST)

RFB templates

We're going to need those rfb header and footer templates for successful and unsuccessful requests... heh. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 20:07, 13 January 2007 (CST)

Roger that. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 20:08, 13 January 2007 (CST)

Toolbar

A toolbar placement issue... nothing major, though. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 21:10, 14 January 2007 (CST)

IE? Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 21:11, 14 January 2007 (CST)

Battlestar Wiki:Template List/XML Templates/Instructions

Battlestar Wiki:Template List/XML Templates/Instructions - Are you still working on this document? --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 05:13, 18 January 2007 (CST)

Yes. But we can remove it from "Currently Editing" Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 11:27, 18 January 2007 (CST)

Oh, that's YOU

After I welcomed the second user account this morning, I realized you were making test accounts for your bots. My bad. --Spencerian 09:40, 21 January 2007 (CST)

The second one I am going to delete from the Database. but if you can change this bots user rights to: sysop and bot, that would be great. :-) Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 09:44, 21 January 2007 (CST)

Done. --Spencerian 09:48, 21 January 2007 (CST)

Bug in image system

I'm not sure if you know of this but I've discovered a bug in your image system, go to: [1] - notice it has the BSMW info etc? Then go to: (removed link... cauing problems) (purge) then view the image info page again, the BSMW box has gone? MatthewFenton 15:01, 21 January 2007 (CST)

That's for sure a media wiki error. Werid. :-P Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 15:03, 21 January 2007 (CST)

Ah, I see (btw.. it was purely accidental I discovered the bug, was attempting to get the page to update information just in case your wondering :-)) MatthewFenton 15:05, 21 January 2007 (CST)

It should have done it right away. It's not on english so it gets it directly on the database of the media. :-) Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 15:09, 21 January 2007 (CST)

I see, the problem I had was it was showing an outdated file size, just noticed you removed the link as well, sorry if I've caused you any big problems :-( MatthewFenton 17:53, 21 January 2007 (CST)

I was trying to re-generate the flag and I was having troubles. no biggie.... not like the snow that is on my car right now. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 17:55, 21 January 2007 (CST)

Snow is awesome and I envy you for having it there. --BklynBruzer 18:54, 21 January 2007 (CST)

In Virgina?? I moved to this state to get away from the Snow. Not be in it. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 18:57, 21 January 2007 (CST)

If you intentionally tried to get away from snow, I have no recourse but to call you weird. --BklynBruzer 19:48, 21 January 2007 (CST)

Airing

Oh I see, I'm getting confused with how time works in USA - tired as well I guess 3am here :-P MatthewFenton 20:56, 21 January 2007 (CST)

Aye. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 20:58, 21 January 2007 (CST)

I'm getting sooooo jittery here, the wait is painful, /me needs his fix of BSG.. MatthewFenton 21:02, 21 January 2007 (CST)

I have to watch American Football.... right now it's recording on my DVR... Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 21:04, 21 January 2007 (CST)

Does anyone know if it aired in HD in the us or only in standard def? Either way i needs it lol --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 03:50, 22 January 2007 (CST)

Sci Fi apparently only air in standard definition, excellent episode though :-)! MatthewFenton 03:52, 22 January 2007 (CST)

Email

Hah, this is embarassing, but how do we access our admin emails? --Talos 05:30, 2 February 2007 (CST)

You were not around... so I set yours up as a forward to your gmail account. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 08:01, 2 February 2007 (CST)

I haven't received anything in my old Yahoo account or my new bswiki account this morning (I just changed my wiki email to that address), nor is there anything from its mailing list. 'Sup? --Spencerian 08:09, 2 February 2007 (CST)

Werid. Let me re-send it out. It was early in the morning.. lol. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 08:10, 2 February 2007 (CST)

Yep. I added and extra s at the end. I resent it. :-) Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 08:12, 2 February 2007 (CST)

Already thought it was just me and that I or my spamfilter accidentally deleted it... --Serenity 08:13, 2 February 2007 (CST)

I got mine ^_^ --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 08:21, 2 February 2007 (CST)

Okay, thanks Shane, I got it. --Talos 09:19, 2 February 2007 (CST)

Login feature

This looks VERY interesting Shane. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 09:20, 2 February 2007 (CST)

Fix template

Shane, can you pretty please fix the Star and Crew templates please. the Character box seemed to work fine by lightening the name but the others arnt quite right. If you could look into it, that would be great. cheers. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 07:57, 14 February 2007 (CST)

It takes a while for most of them because of the job queue. The first one of each one is done. You did everything correctly. If you are taking about the "large" text, font-size: larger is what needs to be removed. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 08:02, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Ok ill go though and check a load a bit later. Seems to be ok on first glance now --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 08:15, 14 February 2007 (CST)

I went ahead and forced ran the job queue just because there wasn't much activity. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 08:20, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Episodes Smaller characters have starred in

Reason I Showed the episodes that Leoben had starred in was because i've got about 10 friends that keep asking everybody "what episode did number 3 star in where she did such and such" and etc. So I figured it would be convienent for me to go ahead and list the episodes Leoben had starred in. Is this ok Shane? I mean I think it helps as it dosen't hurt the page. I'll do it for all the guest stars like the cylons too if you want. --Darth Tytis 23:34, 14 February 2007 (CST)

I feel asleep in front of my computer. Pardon for my delay. I suggest a "Table Matrix" then. List of character appearances. Sorta how our "List of pilots" page work. Character pages, clearly stated in BW:SAC should not carry this information. If you want I can help, but I think it's a great idea. You might want to even suggest a "Last Seen" field for the {{Character Data}} template. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 23:42, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Sounds Great. I'll start working on it tommorow. Thanks! And also, I had posted in the think tank a link to a proposal of mine to creat some sort of rating system to were each fan of the show that comes here can rate there favorite episodes. Does that sound cool? --Darth Tytis 23:47, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Yep. I already posted something on it's talk page. Check it out. :-) Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 23:48, 14 February 2007 (CST)

One last thing, I had to tell you but i've gone through the tutorials about editing and stuff and I'm still having trouble creating different sections like you did on the pilots page. If you want you can do them but i'll do the best I can.
