Safari

I have a picture of the Safari icon, can I offer it here? -Fbv65edel 23:06, 25 January 2006 (UTC) Aha, it is already uploaded to Wikipedia. Should have known. Is there a way the userbox for Safari can be changed? -01:19, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... why are their pictures all so ugly? 151.205.209.201 13:48, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Repeating Operating System Section

Why is there two Operating System sections?--kenobi.zero 12:43, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently it happened on this edit. I think I've fixed it. - Jc37 17:18, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gaiaonline Userbox

There is no link next to the gaiaonline userbox leading to a page with the userbox code. I have no idea how to fix this... anybody have a clue?

It was substituted and deleted [1] per this. [2] Rfrisbie^talk 17:21, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Userbox paths

Do I need to change the code at the start IE the Windows XP userbox code is

(brackets removed - User:The Raven's Apprentice/Userboxes/User MS Windows|XP

Do I need to change the bit in bold to my username?

pjb007 20:29, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, you do not need to change the username. The userbox was created by User:The Raven's Apprentice and is stored on their page. Changing the username to your own would only make it a dead link. Also, I don't believe that this is the place for this question. This page is for discussing the content of Wikipedia:Userboxes/Computing.

Youtube

How come there's no youtube userboxes? Kyo cat 23:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to make one, or you make one if you don't mind :). --µWiki Peers / Seeds (YouWiki) 21:06, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

YTMND Userbox

Can someone please tell me what happened to the userbox User: YTMND? It has been deleted but I couldn't find any information regarding the deletion of the box. I looked in multiple talk pages but couldn't find anything. Thanks.

Gaim now known as Pidgin

The instant messenger Gaim has been renamed to Pidgin. I have created a Pidgin userbox, but how do we get the many Gaim users to realize this (or should we just modify the Gaim userbox some more? Should this page start listing this new userbox instead of the Gaim userbox?
--oKtosiTe talk 09:44, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps we should wait until Pidgin 2.0 is actually released, since it's still Gaim until that happens. And then I think we should modify the gaim userbox. Dan0 00 13:15, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Internet Connections

There should be a userbox for Verizon FiOS, but I'm too lazy to make one.—Michael 20:58, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adding to this page

I made a coupple userboxes for Second Life but when I try to add them in the middle of a section they mess the page up in preview and jump to the top. Here's the code:

{{tlu|User:EllePollack/Userboxes/Second_Life_Resident|Firstname Lastname}}||{{User:EllePollack/Userboxes/Second_Life_Resident|Firstname Lastname}}
|-
{{tlu|User:EllePollack/Userboxes/Second_Life_Content_Creator|Firstname Lastname}}||{{User:EllePollack/Userboxes/Second_Life_Content_Creator|Firstname Lastname}}
|-

Can anyone tell me what's wrong? I thought I was copying the format correctly. EllePollack 03:02, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On the table, you aren't putting the userboxes in any cell, you need a pipe character (|) before each userbox, put this on the page

|{{tlu|User:EllePollack/Userboxes/Second_Life_Resident|Firstname Lastname}}||{{User:EllePollack/Userboxes/Second_Life_Resident|Firstname Lastname}}
|-
|{{tlu|User:EllePollack/Userboxes/Second_Life_Content_Creator|Firstname Lastname}}||{{User:EllePollack/Userboxes/Second_Life_Content_Creator|Firstname Lastname}}
|-

Vista

How about a box for people who don't like Vista? Maybe "This user refuses to upgrade to Vista" Or "this user dislikes Windows Vista" --Simpsons fan 66 03:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well I feel apathetic about Vista. --µWiki Peers / Seeds (YouWiki) 21:12, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FORMATTING USERBOXES

You know I hope we're not going to turn Stalinist over the format of userboxes. I've already had someone change one of mine, and it made zero difference. They just couldn't live with the way it was. This is an open environment, some consistency is good but OCDing over it is wrong.--THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^TALK 03:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As I have already commented on my userpage, I have modified only one UBX this evening, that one with improper coding that was causing misaligning. The only thing I've edited otherwise is the display of the UBX in this directory, which has nothing to do with the format of any particular UBX. JPG-GR (talk) 03:34, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, then my apologies, it appeared to me that a whole page of boxes was changed. The tone of the message about formatting seemed to implay that all userboxes must be done exactly the same as far as the coding appears.--THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^TALK 12:56, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with this page formatting

I recently noticed that this article has a serious formating error or errors in its layout that causes the bottom 10% or so of the page to not display correctly at all. I have traced the introduction of the error to the Revision as of 05:29, 29 November 2007. Before that time the old versions of the page display the bottom correctly and since that edit they do not. I have tried troubleshooting the page to discover what the error is and correct it, but I have not been able to figure it out. Reverting the page to that point would eliminate a lot of useful work that has been done since that point. Can someone more knowledgeable than I am on formatting errors have a look and see if they can correct this problem? - Ahunt (talk) 20:36, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
