Re: Countdown
To remove the 'T minus' stuff you need to edit the common javascript file. It's 2/3's down the page (search for countdown in your browser) It should look like this: // determine plus/minus if(diff<0) {

diff = -diff; var tpm = 'T plus '; } else { var tpm = 'T minus '; } I recommend changing 'T plus ' to '+ ' and 'T minus ' to '- ' but that might not make it obvious to the user that it's counting up now since the date has passed.

On a related note; I don't see anything about time zone codes in there, so I guess they're related to the javascript run by Wikia's server program or a java standard in general, this is just speculation though. You can't go wrong with UTC, though some time zones are ok, Sims 3 release in the US for example, that needs to be localized. Duskey ( talk )( blog ) 04:24, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Smileys
Thanks, I had those in mind aswell. It lacked an evil smiley and the angry one. It's not a top priorty of mine, but adding smilies and having them in the toolbar when editing would be a nice touch I think. But there's much more pressing matters before I suggest it on the community portal. Like the affiliate program and the DYK and now with the Wikia gallery change.

 * By the way, in the future, just run stuff you wanna add to my pages by my talk page. It'll be hell if user 162.481.542.667 messed up a table somewhere some day. Duskey ( talk )( blog ) 06:29, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Country userboxes
The flags should have a 'Source' section on their file page. They're from Wikimedia Commons, flags are in 99% of the cases 'Public Domain'. Commons is a wonderful place to find free non-sims images. Duskey ( talk )( blog ) 06:04, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Re: IRC
Don't be too impressed with the edits. I wouldn't be surprised if most was on my userpages and when I screw something up on the first edit :p I checked out the IRC channel once, saw no one online and figured no one used it. I'll try to be on when I'm at the PC. I think I'm in a different time zone from most admins though (UTC+1... well +2 since it's summer). Duskey ( talk ) 11:41, July 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I figured I'd camp out online just in case anyone should ever use it... not likely, but whatever. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 14:40, July 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Bleeh says you need to come on IRC. Duskey ( talk ) 23:13, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Tookute4m3
When will his block be up ,because it's saying it's up in a week ,and it's already been a week?--Danny(Monster2821) 06:29, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Floating images
Heads up. When you leave left-aligned floating images on eg. talk pages, remember to end with a clrl at the end, or the next message might clip into it. Example. Duskey ( talk ) 14:02, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Additional: Also, your transclusion on your test page did a number on the Timer discussion on my talk page: User talk:Duskey. Duskey ( talk ) 14:37, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Tookute again
Sounds fair to me. Don't push things with her, but block her if she crosses the line again. Dharden (talk) 00:08, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Re:patch 14 broke my computer
My computer is a personal computer.--Danny(Monster2821) 23:16, July 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * So you mean you're the only one that uses it? -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 23:19, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

yes.if you mean shared like my dad using it.--Danny(Monster2821) 23:30, July 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * What specifically is the problem? Does the machine get power? Does the computer monitor turn on (I'm assuming you're talking about a desktop computer, right?)? -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 23:47, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Whenever it roboots it has error saying hard drive is compressed.--Danny(Monster2821) 00:50, July 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wow... that definitely sounds like a problem. But like I said before, I really don't think a game update had anything to do with that. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 00:58, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey thanks for helping me. I guess I should've looked over my app.. but it's all good. I got rollback privileges so yeah.. Thank you.

SimCity
If I wanna try out SimCity again, which version should I play? I played the original as we discussed once and I've played SimCity 2000 a lot actually. I saw there's a SimCity 3000 and a SimCity Societies? Which do I play? I wouldn't mind one similar to the 2000 version, that was awesome, maybe added features and better AI or what you'd call it. Duskey ( talk ) 22:06, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Tried SimCity 4, might be a bit too old for me. Gonna try out Societies if I can find it in a sales bin next week. Duskey ( talk ) 17:14, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

I sent you an email
I didn't know who to send it to, so sorry if it isn't meant for you. I just wanted to say something that I'm too embarrassed to say here.

Thanks, and have a nice day :)

Is the riddle answer...
That the second person was dehydrated and/or starving so he didn't get enough fluids in him, resulting in his death? UBFunkaneer 19:29, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Thoughts
I don't know, I can't find any guideline for it really. I guess we need to CWAM it. Duskey ( talk ) 05:39, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe add it to: A morris#Admin action required. Duskey ( talk ) 13:02, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Anons removing info from Late Night article
Around the first of this month, another IP from the 71.136.*.* range (71.136.49.10) was also removing the information about the breast sliders. I don't know if this is the same person, but it's the same sort of activity. Dharden (talk) 01:23, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think I've seen 3 IP's remove that info now. I guess they don't like breasts. Duskey ( talk ) 05:38, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not really, I'm sure we can handle it since it appears to happen once per week :p Duskey ( talk ) 05:52, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Patch
Can I ask you something? If I install The Sims 2 Nightlife and Open For Business, will the patch for Nightlife already be with Open For Business or later expansion pack? If so, does it mean I don't need to download Nightlife patch? Also, does it work for all expansion packs? Nikel23 10:13, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
