Help with Userpage Navigation

What navigation buttons? The four big icons? Xiner (talk, email) 23:21, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the images on the navigation bar above seem to keep moving every time you load the page and then when you hover over the image, it puts itself back into place. I dont know whether this is just on my side of the computer, its just highly frustrating me. Examples of before and after on my screen can be viewed at:

• Image:Extranet_userbefore.jpg (Before, where the images are out of place)

  What browser do you use? OS? Version numbers?

My Bot Request

The problem with that is that no one would want that :-). There's too many AIV reports, and that script would basically mean a popup on every page. —Mets501 (talk) 03:41, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any other bots that you think I could suggest? I am a very enthusiastic Wikipedian and would like to run a bot for the community. --

There's plenty of stuff to do; check out Wikipedia:Bots for the currently running bots for a few ideas. —Mets501 (talk) 04:02, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Running a redundant copy of HBC AIV helperbotThis would certainly be of use to the community. I have a few questions:

1. Does your computer stay running and connected to the internet most of the time
2. What operating system do you use
3. Do you have any understanding of the language perl
4. Are you likely to be available withing a day or so to update the code as needed

These are not a list of requirements, but just information I would like to know. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 21:28, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is good that you are in Australia, as that means if this side of the planet gets destroyed, WP:AIV will still have it's bot... also, there will be an operator awake at most times. Looks good, once I am confident my bot works well with itself I will contact you with install instructions, and you can put an approval request for the username to be used, I think HBC AIV helperbot2 would be the least confusing. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 21:45, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've blocked this bot because it is malfunctioning.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 03:57, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The bot was not malfunctioning, Ryūlóng unblocked it. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 04:11, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We are ready to goWe are

approved and ready to go, I will e-mail you the username and password for the bot. Then you need to follow the instructions here: User:HBC AIV helperbot/installation

.

Let me know if you need any help. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 01:44, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, you can skip the step about setting the time format in the preferences, I already did that for your account. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 01:48, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the first edit day greeting

Re:Birthday Wishes

Small bug in botThis edit[1] is caused by a small typo. I have fixed the code, could you please replace the script with the new content of new contents of User:HBC AIV helperbot/source. That should clear up the problem.

Regarding the intermittentcy of you internet connection, the bot will simple complain while it is not on the internet, then reactivate when it is on the internet. I think you can continue running it for now. If this is permnament problem, we should start looking for a machine online 24/7 with a similar timezone to yours to replace it. If this is just a temporary problem, then it is fine. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 15:07, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Sorry to trouble you but could you please unfreeze Peekvid and redirect it to Peekvid.com because the current situation is a little silly.

SignpostForgive me for copy-and-pasting the same response that I've given to the last few editors who've asked :)

Right now, there are two specific positions I'm looking to fill:

• Features and admins- Compiling all the promoted administrators, articles, pictures, sounds, topics, portals, etc. It sounds like a tough job, but once you get the hang of it, it'll only take 20-30 minutes. See this week's
  newsroom
  about it, under "special stories". If you do decide that you want to write about a story, just make a note that you'll take care of that particular story.

  All stories are due around 17:00 UTC every Monday. If you'd like to take a stab at it, that'd be great; let me know if you have any further questions, or if you need help with your story. I'm not around much on the weekends, but I'll try to keep an eye on my talk page. Ral315 » 07:58, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  Features and admins can be easily defined by looking at

• De-featured articles: Compile from Wikipedia:Featured article review.
• Featured lists: Compile from Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Featured log.
• De-featured lists: Check

  just in case, but no portal has ever lost featured status, so this is unlikely.
• Today's featured article: Visit today's featured article, and grab all of the articles that were featured on the main page from Tuesday to Monday (for example, next week's issue, for Monday the 26th, would cover February 20 to February 26).
• Picture of the day: Visit picture of the day, and inline link all of the pictures (pipe them with the article that they're prominent on, like Acarina) that were picture of the day from Tuesday to Monday.
