Hi there.

Yeah, hi :D --Wrtlprnft 04:10, 26 May 2006 (CEST)

Thanks Wrtl

I have fiddled about with Ladle pages, and it looks like Ladle-4. Can you think of any more changes? And how can I contact meriton to check it out? 2020 18:59 (GMT+2) 4th September 2006

  • It looks promising now. If it stays structured like that it might avoid quite a bit of confusion. I'll lock the Challenge Board as soon as I wake up on the 1st of october to prevent edits, if you don't mind.

    Dunno about meriton, he might notice it on the recent changes, otherwise you can contact him on his user page or on the forums, i guess… —Wrtlprnft 12:09, 4 September 2006 (CDT)

    • A couple of minor things. :) You should include on that page "Where to meet before the tournament". Also, is it possible to change a redirect? I was thinking that Ladle should always point to the most recent, and the most recent should have links for historical information on previous ladles. --Lucifer 22:29, 4 September 2006 (CDT)
      • Well, I am not sure how to set up the IRC channels... Hopefully, when we get to that stage, it will have been set up by someone... unless someone can show me how it works and I can get a few players to test it...

Your Skin for the Wiki

Lovely. Thanks. Why hasn't it been advertised? Why isn't it the new default? 2020

  • Well, I guess Lucifer has to do that if he likes it. He'll probably want to copy the images it uses onto his server and change the links so the wiki doesn't depend on two servers to be online, which would increase the not–working probabiltiy to PServer 1 not working + PServer 2 not working + PServer 1 not working × PServer 2 not working, that would be more than twice as likely than if everything was on the same server (assuming the probabilities are the same).

    Anyways, anyone who can test the skin in IE7? It doesn't run under WINE, so I have no way of testing it. —Wrtlprnft 17:09, 1 September 2006 (CDT)

  • In ie6 looks okay i guess, its plain white wherever the white opacity png is. Png's arn't properly handled in ie6 (havn't bothered with ie7 since i use firefox). Looks nice in firefox but i prefer the current default. Anyways good work.--Your mom 21:09, 1 September 2006 (CDT)
  • Actually I'm not using an alphatransparent PNG. It's two PNGs, one brightened a bit for the foreground, and they're both positioned using background-attachment:fixed. Well, guess what, IE6 doesn't support it and displays rubbish, so I'm using a CSS hack to hide the foreground CSS from it. Trouble is that this hack doesn't work for IE7 anymore (it supports the appropiate selector), but that should be fine if it supports background-attachment:fixed, but I'm not sure if it does.

    I don't want to use alphatransparent PNGs as they were used in the old skin and caused weird effects for the tabs at the top of the page. This method is safe in the sense that it makes overlapping elements invisible. —Wrtlprnft 03:09, 2 September 2006 (CDT)

    • It's not the new default because it runs really freaking slow on my computer. The background-attachment: fixed needs to be removed for that to change. Sorry. --Lucifer 12:45, 2 September 2006 (CDT)
      • It's still running painfully slow on my computer. It adds about 5 seconds on average for each page to render over the MonoBook skin. --Lucifer 22:31, 4 September 2006 (CDT)

What will come after the spoon?

hyeheh well, actually i was going to thank you for fiddling with the wiki for ladle, but couldn't send a message since the forum didn't allow it and this is the only way i can think of getting into contact....
i was wondering, after waiting for 2 weeks for the spoon to finish.. do you think it may be too early to start off on the next competition...? i have opened it up to a few people to get initial feedback.. what do you think? —2020

hehe, actually I got the same PM 3 times :D
I think we should wait a few months for people to settle down... It's getting harder and harder to organize matches, people are just not that interested anymore, but I'm sure the interest will come back after a while. And don't mind my wiki corrections, just try to adapt that style since it is the "correct" way to do it, at least it generates the most sensible markup --Wrtlprnft 21:41, 21 May 2006 (CDT)
