New Here
Wow. That's a lot of edits. It seems to me that you are the major contributor on this site. So, I'm new here, but I have experience with other wikis. Is there any advice you have about starting out here? Maxi6 ( Speaketh! ) 21:32, July 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I recommend that you read the Filling in the blanks page. It lists what can be improved here. Start with the "Short pages and Stubs" section and see if you can update some pages so that they have more information in them and would no longer be a stub. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 00:43, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry
Sorry for the links, but I never really had time to check and update them correctly. ~Kittyfire ♥The Ultimate Lifeform♥ 16:00, July 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Not a problem. I wasn't sure if you were doing that just to have fun or if it was something that got messed up. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:49, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Panned videos becoming single images
Hey how does this wikia take those panned scenes from the cartoon and turn them into a single image? Any thoughts? I guess I could take screenshot after screenshot after screenshot and run them through Photoshop's panned image connecting feature... but I would much rather skip the screenshot collecting process... felinoel ~  (Talk)  06:22, July 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * The way I do it is this: I take the first screenshot, then make the area of the picture larger. In PaintShopPro, it's expanding the canvas size. After that, it is a process of taking multiple screenshots, copy sections from each one, and paste them into the first screenshot.


 * The tricky part is when the panning of the scene isn't straight up/down or right/left. It takes a lot more slices and screenshots to stitch together the panoramic shot. You also have to watch out for when objects in the picture change size and position. See File:Candace watches kids in the backyard - panoramic.jpg for an example of both problems. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 06:34, July 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well PhotoShop has a feature that automatically takes multiple images and places them overtop each other so that they combine to form a larger image, but the problem I am having is the taking of the multiple screenshots... felinoel  ~  (Talk)  14:06, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

What's up with the gallery thumbnail resolutions?
I just noticed after editing the gallery that the thumbnail resolutions just got bigger. Is this supposed to happen or something? I'm noticing other galleries are like this as well.

Forgot to sign...

 * This might be due to file type, what is the extension of those images? felinoel  ~  (Talk)  16:09, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Mostly png files. There are some which are jpg though. However that, No More Bunny Business is mainly jpg files, and they're having the same issue, so that couldn't be it...

It's even more odd since I never in any way made any adjustments in resolution to the thumbnails on the galleries.

 * It seems to be related to a change Wikia made to the galleries themselves. Here's the blog that announced the changes. I will need to submit a bug report to them because if you look at "The roller coaster" section of Rollercoaster's gallery, the spacing between each row of the pictures is being determined by the tallest picture in the section, which leaves big gaps between most of them. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 22:30, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Creating an account
I have a question for you RRabbit42, what if you want to create an account and you filled out the page but, they say your not able to right now and you try again later but they tell you the same thing then what do you do?


 * Click here, and please remember to sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~). felinoel  ~  (Talk)  22:41, July 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you get the "try again later" message, that usually means you aren't old enough to create an account. You have to be 13 or older. See the Membership section of the Wikia Terms of Use page. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 22:03, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Gazette
I just read your post in the newest gazette about the merchandise and I have to ask, Do you know of any news of exporting merchandise to other countries, particularly Australia?—Ardi~(Talk)~( Correspondence ) 08:02, July 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I don't. I don't have anything specific. The way I have been finding out about the merchandise is when I do a search on sites like Google, Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 23:22, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Cartoon submission
I came up with a cartoon gag that I wanted to submit to the upcoming Tri-State Gazette. I know JeremyCreek always draws a cartoon for the Gazette as well. If the theme of his cartoon also ends up being about Comic-Con, my submission may be retracted if you were indeed planning on using it alongside his. Mobo85 23:58, July 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * We can have more than one comic per issue, even if they are about the same subject. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 01:14, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
