[edit] Template image

Can we use the image 40px for the template image for now? I understand that the Hogwarts crest is TradeMarked, but I think the Hogwarts.jpg should qualify as fair use. Also, the Mac OSX userbox I have has the actual Apple logo, so is that not allowed either? --Ariadoss 08:55, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template text

Aww c'mon, I liked with without the "This user is". Way to be a conformist. :-P. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 18:01, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

hahaha... well, do what you'd like. :-) Maybe you should put a little MagicSpeak into it. On that note, this userbox doesn't seem to "fit" with other userboxes when I try to slot them all together (which is one of the reasons I have to put mine into a table). Do you think we should use the standard {{userbox}} with standard usage parameters instead? --Deathphoenix 19:35, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Here's what I mean. --Deathphoenix 19:38, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Actually, I'm still not sure I follow, and all uses of the box I've done have been in a table. And why haven't you answered my admin question? Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 20:16, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Ah, okay. I put everything in a table anyways, but when I tried to put everything into columns (ie, not in a table), I encountered a similar problem with my "AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTD" userbox until the original designer changed the code to use the standard "userbox" with parameters. This problem was one of the reasons why I don't put my userboxes in my main user page (I'd rather put by userboxes near the bottom, rather than the side, of my user age. Oh, and what admin question are you talking about? The discussion at Talk:Hermione Granger? :-) --Deathphoenix 21:19, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

I figured out the problem: it wasn't with this template, it was with the template preceding this one in my page ({{User AWWD}}), which had a <br> tag at the end. This tag makes the next box appear incorrectly as shown in my link above. --Deathphoenix 19:34, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
