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)
