[edit] Uploading a picture
Hello, I have a problem, whenever I upload a picture, a message comes up saying: Upload warning The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again.
I don't get it, for some reason Wikia sites won't accept JPEG files from me. I know its not just my computer too, I tried uploading an image on my dad's laptop and the same problem occured. Do you guys have any idea what the problem is? Unknown12345 05:18, 28 December 2006 (UTC)Unknown12345
- Are you uploading it as a jpg or have you changed the file extension to png or something else? If it won't work with its original extension, please email it to me and I'll try and work out what's wrong. Angela talk 17:16, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Untitled
I have a question to ask when there will be news given as when the 3rd book will be composed and released in stores. And what of the series Inheritance Trilogoy entering the film industry?
--Kumarhk 11:42, 26 March 2006 (UTC): The 3rd book is likely to be released in 2007 and Christopher Paolini is considering calling it Empire. The first movie is going to be released on 16th December, 2006. You can find out more at Eragon (movie).
[edit] Past Tense
Who's bright idea was it to write this in past tense? Do you guys not know how to write a proper entry? The book is still in print, and the series is not even complete. Shape up... - Krim
- Hello. All of the in-universe articles are written in past tense, as discussed here. G.He(Talk!) 01:30, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Quote of the Day
I noticed that the Quote of the Day feature is up again. How are is the dailly quote determand? Red Head Rider 17:30, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- Again? (I didn't notice it was up before..) Anyway, I just took some quotes from Wikiquote and used them for the Quote of the Day. If it is prefered that we vote for the quotes of the day, that is fine with me too. :) G.He(Talk!) 17:35, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
That would be my personal preferance but I really don't care :). Red Head Rider 17:43, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- I've posted the current quotes at Project:Quote of the Day. If there are any comments regarding the current quotes or suggestions for new ones, please voice them at the talk page. :) G.He(Talk!) 17:56, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Feature artical Image

[edit] Battle Of The Burning Plains
I have attempted to add a Military Conflict Infobox on the Battle of The Burning Plains article, but it continues to remain a red link, I have tried to fix it, and have probably done to much in the attempt. Could someone who knows how to use the template better help? Therequiembellishere 05:37, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- The template has not yet been made. I will try my best to look into it sometime later today. :) G.He(Talk!) 16:23, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Featured Article
Why does the Arya picture keep changing? Therequiembellishere 05:04, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- It changes because the <choose> tag and <option> tags are used. By doing so, it randomly picks one option from the list of options and outputs that. However, weights could also be added to give an option more chance over the other ones. G.He(Talk!) 15:34, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Main Page Transformed!
As we can see, the Main Page has now been transformed! How does everybody like it? :) G.He(Talk!) 00:16, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- Great job. It looks very good. Red Head Rider 15:32, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] html error
on the main page with ie5, the image in the first box doesn't display. just thought it would be useful to know :) Whopper
[edit] Browser issues
The main page says "Some features of Inheriwiki will not function or display properly in Internet Explorer". Which features are those? Wikia aims to be accessible in all major browsers, so this should be fixed rather than forcing users to change browser. Angela talk 20:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, the absolute positioning of icons (and alignment of certain other objects (like the sitenotice)) is one thing. Unlike some other browsers, IE (Trident engine) bases it on the whole page instead of just the main content section, so icons on the right end up in the ads section. (Also, I don't know why page titles are being displayed only to the middle of the page instead of the full width, or why some main content border extends into the sidebar.) Another thing is the JS edit counter not working in IE (which really isn't that big of a deal now that Special:Editcount is available, but it does display some information not provided in Special:Editcount). In addition, some tags that are supported in other browsers (like Firefox (Gecko engine) or Opera (Presto engine)) are not supported in IE (like blinking, which may or may not be a good thing, depending on whether the user likes blinking of certain things for various purposes). There have also been issues with multiple NavFrame usage that are close together on one page, where some surrounding objects don't auto-reformat/align accordingly. On top of that, there have also been other problems where certain things are displayed differently than how they're meant to be displayed (which works fine in other browsers), such as {{TOCleft}} or {{TOCright}} with NavFrames nearby (instead of floating left or right with the text like it does in other browsers, it's displayed first with the text underneath (which basically defeats the whole purpose of the modifying template)), or an image not being displayed at all (seemed to be spacing issues (which wasn't an issue in Firefox or Opera)). Finally, if we go back to IE6 (which is still used by many instead of the current IE7), new problems appear, such as PNG transparency not being supported. So there are a lot of problems in IE (not to mention the many reported security issues) that are not present in browsers that are just as capable, if not more. G.He(Talk!) 21:02, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Example CSS Errors
- Absolute positioning broken
- Main content border extends into left sidebar for some pages
- Improper formatting of some pages. Examples:
[edit] False Messiah
We just recent had some pompous prick announce his total domination of all wikias. It appeared on FFwiki but head up, he could come here next. His name is Unbound Nexus or something, ban him if any of you guys see him. --Maverick King 01:33, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] The Last Dragon Rider
Has anyone thought that Elva could be the next rider? Why and why not? DRDragonRider93 21:19, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
