[edit] But it want it on my front porch!

Anywhere where I can sign up for some kind of automatic spam list where I get a message on my talk page automatically each time the new issue comes out? :) Jdavidb (talk • contribs) 19:35, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Hrm. I can do that. Ral315 (talk) 23:51, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Seperate news from box

I would like to have a feed like this on my userpage. The trouble is, my layout is very structured, and putting this whole box in would force everything out of wack. My proposal is to change how this box is rendered. Take the bulleted list of news items, and place them into a seperate template. Make news related changes to that template, and then transclude it into the subscription template. Than people like me could just trancslude the news feeds. I think that would be a justifiable use of a meta-template.--Max Talk (add) • Contributions 02:45, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

I'd really like to see this too - I'd like to make a custom version hidden by default for my talk page. If the content were seperated out, it would make customization much simpler - people could adapt the content for their particularly-formatted userspace, or continue to use this template by default which would remain the same.

[edit] thinsp

I'm going to remove the  's from this. They appear as full spaces in IE5.0 (causing linewrap), as missing character squares in opera8 (causing linewrap), and are ignored by firefox. Thanks.

I've tried replacing them with <tt> enclosures. -Quiddity 18:30, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Headlines caps style

Is there any particular reason why headlines don't use the same caps style as Wikipedia articles? Rfrisbietalk 14:07, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Avoiding foolish consistency springs to mind :) Zocky | picture popups 21:24, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Broken image

The Wikipedia Signpost header image on the template is strangely broken for me - this can't be a browser cache issue, as it occurs in two different browsers, one of which I have not used to look at the Signpost template. I'm not sure why, though - the image does appear to exist on Wikipedia. -- Mithent 21:53, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

That's a common problem with picture thumbnails which usually sorts itself out in a couple of days. Zocky | picture popups 21:24, 27 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Bad comic link

Please change the pipe to WikiWorld comic: "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" to match the spam'ed version instead of last weeks comic. --After Midnight 0001 17:00, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Done. Ral315 » 17:39, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks much. --After Midnight 0001 23:35, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] For some strange reason

My copy of Signpost has ceased being delivered. Can some one reinstate it to my talk page.....Thanks. Ekotkie 17:31, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] mistake in WikiWorld

The template is protected, so I can't fix it, but the title of the current WikiWorld entry in this week's template incorrectly refers to last week's template. --Zvika (talk) 17:26, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
