blackgaard saga images

just wondering, but where did you get these two images? Blackgaard_saga#Official_Episodes can you give anymore info on them Reddo 04:30, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

I think they were on SongTouch, but they don't exist anymore. Erwin Springer [talk] 22:04, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Video Characters Categories

Can I put templates on video characters? Because I know you deleted them with the bot to work on them. Thanks for any help! Stop Wooton Around 01:20, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean, but if you want to create categories for episodes and videos, use templates from here. Erwin Springer [talk] 22:50, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Parker Family

So where did you get this image? God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 04:44, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Here. Erwin Springer [talk] 13:04, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Clutter

What town hall archive was that? And if the previews aren't working for all the album 51 episodes go ahead and hide those previews as well because I unhid them this morning. MarvelousMarvin 05:43, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Here is the discussion I'm basing my decision on, as it seems that more general themes would be better. Erwin Springer [talk] 15:02, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Promos Repost

I have not gotten a response on the Town Hall, so I will repost my question here: I happened to find another copy of all 4 previews after I posted that message. Should I upload them or should we wait until they are available on the Official Site? AIOCREFan 22:11, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Reddo got the okay to post them here so you can upload them, to the best of my knowledge. Erwin Springer [talk] 22:52, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
I tried to upload them, but I got this error message: ".mp3" is not a permitted file type. Permitted file types are png, gif, jpg, jpeg, pdf, docx, doc. What do I do now? AIOCREFan 17:55, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Just put the mp3 url into the infobox | preview = God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 18:51, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Sorry for not being clear, we can't upload mp3s to the wiki, you'll have to upload them to another source. (I suggest MediaFire.com). Erwin Springer [talk] 22:22, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
wait where did these files originially come from? God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 22:36, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Do you mean where the promos were before they were removed or where I found other copies of the promos? AIOCREFan 23:07, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
The promos need to be uploaded somwhere on the web, and then we'll use the direct link to post on the episode pages. The orginal ones on FileDen are no longer available. Erwin Springer [talk] 23:09, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
I know. I already uploaded them to Media Fire. I'm having trouble posting the link on the episode page. As for my last post, I was answering Natedude24's question. AIOCREFan 23:18, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

I keep getting this error message when trying to post the links: Fatal error: Call to a member function exists() on a non-object in /home/.jarvis/aiowiki/aiowiki/w/extensions/mp3.php on line 48 What should I do? AIOCREFan 23:25, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm guessing that you don't have the direct link, so the mp3 extension fails when trying to process it. Can you post them here? Erwin Springer [talk] 23:29, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Sure:
When I try to listen to them, I'm told I need a password, you may have to loosen the security in your account. Erwin Springer [talk] 23:42, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Sorry it took so long. I had to go away from the computer for a while. I changed it so you can view it. AIOCREFan 00:37, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
MediaFire doesn't seem to let you use direct links, so I uploaded them elsewhere, and posted them on the episode pages. May be Reddo can put them on the ftp site. Erwin Springer [talk] 20:16, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. But which ftp site are you talking about? AIOCREFan 20:40, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
The one here on AIOWiki. Erwin Springer [talk] 03:33, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

New Theme

Should I upload the new theme and post it on the 2010 season page under spoilers? I have already edited the theme into a separate file from the podcast. AIOCREFan 20:46, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

From what I understand, hold off on that for now. Erwin Springer [talk] 03:33, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
How come? Did Nathan say not to? MarvelousMarvin 05:48, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
Sort of...email me if you would like to know the full story. Erwin Springer [talk] 21:56, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Spam

Can you take care of this? (at least I think it's spam) AIOCREFan 21:50, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Check.svg Done, if you see that again, you can always blank the page (to prevent users from clicking on the spamming links) until someone else comes along. Erwin Springer [talk] 21:54, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
Should I still let someone know after I blank the page so someone can take care of blocking the user? AIOCREFan 22:03, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
Usually someone will see it and take care of it shortly after its been posted, but if it takes a few days, then let someone know. Erwin Springer [talk] 22:16, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Help

I uploaded the picture of John Campbell that was released on the Official Podcast website. I also posted it on his page. However, the picture thumbnail is small. How do you make it bigger? AIOCREFan 22:11, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Use |px= to specify how big the image is to be. I set it to 250. Erwin Springer [talk] 22:15, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for fixing the newsitem and Brandon Gilberstadt's page. MarvelousMarvin 18:58, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Promos

The Odyssey Scoop has released a lot of promos. Should I post the links to (or upload) the promos and post them on their respective pages? Also, where did you upload the Album 51 promos? I'm having trouble finding the website where you uploaded them. AIOCREFan 22:02, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I uploaded them to webs.com as they have simple and free file hosting. I wouldn't uplaod the ones on the scoop, as its their exclusive and we don't want to take it away from them. Erwin Springer [talk] 22:55, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
I say email him and ask if we can post them too. MarvelousMarvin 19:19, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
What I meant was post the links to the audio on the scoop. Ex. Album 5: Daring Deeds, Sinister Schemes promo link: http://www.odysseyscoop.com/audio/audio/Promo_DaringDeedsSinisterSchemes.mp3 I didn't mean upload them. If Jacob doesn't mind though, we could upload them to the wiki. AIOCREFan 17:32, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
That might be a little extreme. How about we link to the different audio pages on the album pages? Erwin Springer [talk] 22:44, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
Good idea. However, I don't think the album template is set up to play audio previews. I have tried many times to post a preview link on an album page and it refuses to bring up the audio player. AIOCREFan 23:26, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Reddo added the functionality to be able to upload mp3s to the wiki, so we'll just upload them here. God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 01:26, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Ceiling Fan

Would it be acceptable to post updates from the ceiling fan podcast on the main page since that is an AIO podcast? Or do you not do that because it's just a fan podcast? Winston Basset 18:01, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

We would really rather not have unofficial podcast updates posted on the main page. God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 02:30, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
And why not? Personally, I think we should. Unless we have something better to put in our news items...The more updates we have the more people will come back to see the site. MarvelousMarvin 14:21, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
If we put one unofficial podcast/blog update in our news feed, then we pretty much have to have them all. How would you feel if your podcast wasn't put on the AIO wiki and someone else's was. So with all of the unofficial podcasts/blogs being posted in our news, we would have a real mess. We just want the most recent official news. God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 15:08, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
That's a very good point! I should have thought of that. Sorry! MarvelousMarvin 16:24, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
No problem :) God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 16:30, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
I think it would be great to announce the two unofficial podcasts. We could also have a place for folks to submit their podcast/website for review and then posting. Erwin Springer [talk] 22:46, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
I'm very against announcing unofficial podcasts on our main page, if we include 1 where do we draw the line? we'd have to include all of them and there are a lot, it would clutter up the news page and it would also create a lot more items for people who follow us on rss that they probably don't want to read, if they did they'd follow that blog themselves Reddo 03:01, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

tape covers

hi, i was wondering if you could take care of organizing the tape covers for albums 1-15 list on the page of missing album art you seem to know more about those old cassette album covers than i do, Reddo 07:35, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Sure. Most should be on the web somehwere, but if they aren't, I own most of these so I can upload scan some. Erwin Springer [talk] 13:30, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Were did you get all of those pre-release album covers? AIOCREFan 15:34, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
AIOHQ, and an old fansite. Erwin Springer [talk] 17:17, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Which old fansite? AIOCREFan 20:26, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
aiohq.com Reddo 20:29, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Sorry for the confusion, I meant AIOHQ, and this site. Erwin Springer [talk] 21:01, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi I'm new here. Can you help me?

Hi Erwin Springer this is AriaCurzonFan. I'm new to this so could you leave a message on my talk page about how to edit and what articles need help? I love AIO do u?? AriaCurzonFan 14:18, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Erwin Springer! This is AriaCurzonFan. U r an administrator, right? Who else r administrators? I think it would be cool for the front page to have a monthly poll. Is that a possibility? Can u tell me what small articles need cleaning and more information? Thanks. Get back to me on my talk page. AriaCurzonFan 16:49, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Quotes

I saw on Reddo's pages that u are the one to ask about the quote thing. i have seen on many pages with quotes that many don't come from that person. i tried editing it, but i don't know how. could you help? AriaCurzonFan 19:39, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Well, on Connie's page, there's something that Rodney and Alex say: "Oh yeah, and Kennedy didn't know anything about the plot to kill John Wilkes Booth, Jr. either." "There was absolutely nothing historically accurate about that sentence." And Mitch: "Yeah, Right. "I was so shocked! When my boss talked about mind control, I thought he said 'mime control', and he just wanted to limit the number of street performers!" Give me a break." There are a lot of repeated quotes. Thanks for saying you'd help me.

I don't think the quotes for this character feature is working properly. On the episode pages, it works fine. God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 15:00, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Anything you can do to change it? AriaCurzonFan 18:56, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
As I said before all of those quotes contain at least one line from Connie. If I just put the quotes from the character, then it may be get confusing. Would it help to add names in front of each line? Erwin Springer [talk] 22:12, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes. That would help. cause i was on one page and I'm like, "Wait! Whit said that, not Rodney!" AriaCurzonFan 09:00, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

LCD

For the LCD episodes are we going to use the old template ({Episode character by actor category}) or make a new template that says ({LCD Episode character by actor category})? You can create the episode templates and I put them on. Or I can try to do it. Thanks! Stop Wooton Around 22:32, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

We should create new templates. You can try yourself if you like. Erwin Springer [talk] 23:03, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
I think you should do them. I tryed and I messed them up. So you will probley have to delete some pages. If you create the templates I will put them on. Thanks! BYE Stop Wooton Around 23:17, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

aiowiki prefix

there were some pages that were messing things up that were called aiowiki:.... however since we defined aiowiki: as an external link we couldn't edit/move/delete them so I removed it, took care of those pages and now we can use the aiowiki prefix again, i just forgot to put it back the other day Reddo 18:46, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

I told them on the ToO to put text in the aiowiki tag to be put after "http://www.aiowiki.com/wiki/Special:Search/" instead, so it doesn't matter anymore. Erwin Springer [talk] 19:17, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Secret Word Contest/Signature

Erwnin, could you please read what I wrote here and answer (if you can) my question about signatures here. AIOCREFan 18:40, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Help

Hi Erwin. Thanks for answering my question at Adventures in Odyssey Wiki talk:Administrators. I have some questions. How do you make a coloured username in a page's history? And to become an admin, do you just ask Reddo and he decides if you should be an admin? Thanks, --Basset Hounds 02:47, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Reddo decides based on the characteristics of the user in question. Usernames are colored manually afterwords. Erwin Springer [talk] 03:05, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! --Basset Hounds 03:36, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for starting to empty the Flagged for Deletion category but there is still 51 items in there. Also, finally all images that are available on reddo's list are on the album pages. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 04:35, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

ToO/Campbell County

How long does it take for the ToO admins to approve accounts? Tommorow will be a week since I signed up and no "account approved" e-mail has arrived. Today I signed up for Campbell County and got a "account approved" e-mail about an hour later. Seems kind of strange! AIOCREFan 18:17, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

It should be fairly quick. When I signed up, it only took any hour, but since that time (a year and a half ago) the board framework has been updated, so the process may be different. Erwin Springer [talk] 18:58, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

episode list

i fixed the problem you were having on the sandbox page, it was because of the cache part, both queries had the same cache name so they got saved to the same location on the server and when you saved the page the second over wrote the first one and then when viewing the page the first query incorrectly displays the result for the second Reddo 00:01, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

intersection test

What are you working on on the character intersection test page? Proverbs 22:9 Elementus Green 10:31, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm trying to make the results appear instantly, rather than having to re-load the page. Erwin Springer [talk] 14:59, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

The Defining Moment

Why did you remove the quotes I put on the Defining Moment page? --Aria 18:50, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about that. As weird as it sounds, I accidentally clicked that button the undoes the latest edit on that page. They should be back now. Erwin Springer [talk] 20:27, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

character pages

thanks for all your work on the new template, i think it looks a lot better than the old one did, i changed the sort order of the list of actors so that it lines up with the correct lists so the actors are now listed alphabetically instead of by first appearance 9before clicking on one actor led to a different actors list, kind of confusing). i also made it the default for all browsers as IE9 for some reason didn't execute the JS and was left with the old version which didn't work, plus as i said before i think your looks a lot better. we should do this to the cast pages too, thanks Reddo 05:18, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I created it because the one with the tabber never worked - I think because of the variables extension. We also need video actors to the template as well. Erwin Springer [talk] 21:15, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

images in ie 8

since you still have IE 8 can you check out the images for 52 and 25? i think i might have got it working now I tried testing it in IE tab in chrome and in compatability mode in IE 9 and both work, thanks Reddo 22:37, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, neither of them show up. Erwin Springer [talk] 23:55, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
52 again? Reddo 19:41, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
The front of 52 shows up! Erwin Springer [talk] 21:08, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
thanks, it seems to be a problem with the images then, to fix it all i did was open it in paint and then save, we should try to get more images from the site as they're a lot higher res than ours are Reddo 22:03, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Sorry to jump in, but I'm wondering something. Are you talking about the official site? If you are, I can not figure out where you got the hi-res images. AIOCREFan 02:14, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
go to here click on an album and then on the right hand side there will be links for small large and hi-res Reddo 03:15, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
There's something weird with these files. Not sure what it is, but I assume it has something with them being exported from ID. This is what is causing the colors to bee weird. God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 21:08, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Not quite sure what you are saying... I am in the process of downloading them. After that's done, I will upload them all. AIOCREFan 21:45, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Ouch...That stung. Just found out that you (Nate) already did what I have been doing for an more than an hour. :( Oh well... AIOCREFan 21:48, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
to fix the weird color issues just open the image in paint and then save, it keeps the same quality but fixes the color differences that keeps IE from displaying them Reddo 23:29, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
No it lowers the quality, because paint, by default (and it's unchangeable as far as I know), saves jpgs at a 60% quality. This is generally standard but the ones on tyndale are higher than that, probably about 100. Sorry AIOCREFan I should of posted what I was doing. God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 00:35, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

A More Excellent Way

where did you hear about this? Reddo 02:21, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Nathan was in the ToO chat not to long ago. The transcript will be posted soon. Erwin Springer [talk] 02:22, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
cool, wish i could have been there, let me know when/where it gets posted Reddo 02:26, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
Link. Erwin Springer [talk] 02:38, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
Briefly reading through the chat, it said "album 54 title suggestion". Isn't that the name of the album, not the name of an episode as you put on the 2011 season page? God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 04:09, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
Hm, after re-reading it, you're probably right. Erwin Springer [talk] 14:48, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Welcome back

welcome back to the wiki, i like your album study thing Reddo 04:36, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. It's really just more expirementation, though. Erwin Springer [talk] 22:16, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Userbox Question

hi! if you look at my page, you will see that i have tried to make some userboxes, but they didnt work. Can you please create them and provide a list of all the userboxes? thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwhittaker (talk • contribs) thanks but where do i upload the image i want?

here.----WikiFan ~ (talk) ~ (contributions) ~ 20:46, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Color list

Did you delete the color list? Adventures inodysseylego ~ (talk) ~ (Guestbook) 23:07, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

A list of colors does not relate to AIO. If you need to refer to a color, use an external site instead. :) Erwin Springer [talk] 23:47, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Re: Album Image Template

Do you want to me to go back and fix all of them? Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 14:21, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Album 52 image is locked

I couldn't add the Album Image template to the front cover of Album 52 because it's locked. Could you please add the template for me? Thanks! — Eugene [talk] 00:51, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Check.svg Done. Erwin Springer [talk] 23:20, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Book Images

While I was looking around for something to do on here, I came across the Book Image template that I created earlier this year. Long story short, I decided to make it more like the Album Image template. Before I finalize everything for it, I wanted to get your input. Should I continue with the category system I did for the Passages Books? Or is that getting too specific? Take a look and let me know what you think! Thanks! — Eugene [talk] 04:07, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Great job on the template! My thought is that there isn't a predominant book series, like there is with albums, so categories for fronts, backs, 3Ds, and indivdual books (i.e. [[Category:The Case of the Mysterious Message]], similiar to the album categoreis) should be sufficient. More in-depth categories are a novelty unless they can be utilized in some kind of feature. Erwin Springer [talk] 14:29, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
