Revision as of 16:51, 2 April 2009
Contributions
Hello there, Singer! =) Nice updates on Ethereal and the Snotspill article. It's short, but informative on Snotspill, and naturally just a miss in the Ethereal article that needed fixing. Is this your first wiki edit, or have you contributed to other wikis in the past? --Leord 12:50, 8 December 2008 (CET)
- U there? =) --Leord 19:04, 1 April 2009 (CEST)
Re:Contributions
Oh, hi! And thanks.
You'll have to (well, not *have* to) excuse me. I'm new to all things wiki, be it etiquette, interface, syntax, etc., so I'm very much still figuring things out. (Which is why I did a couple of edits in a row. Did something, then saw on another page a way to do it better, or somesuch. Don't recall anymore :p)
I've more or less figured out BBCode, but this is my first wiki edit, here or anywhere.
I've been lurking (unregistered) around here on and off for a while (lots of good info around here =) ), noticed the Snotspill (and later the Ethereal article) and those seemed an appropriate (introduction and) "birthday present" :p
Actually, this is the first time I've been able to log on since then. It kept giving me "bad username or password". :\ So sorry for not responding before now. I just got the notification today. After the trouble logging on, I was rather surprised.
- Oh. I was trying to log in with the "quick login" (pair of boxes, top right of diii.net's main page), except that that's for the forums. Which are separate from the wiki. As the wiki's main page says.
- Now I feel stupid :S
And, uh, as you may have noticed, I tend to talk alot. >.>
(Edit: Ooh, hey! Auto-sig! :P
Also, Help:Talk: possible typo? "gibe (rather then 'give') you opinion".
I'd've changed it, but I'm not sure whether it's intended, and, as I've said, I'd rather not transgress before I learn the behavioral protocols.)
(Edit: Oh poo. I just realized that "History" means that every single change made is saved.
Which I guess is a good thing, but it means I'll have to be a lot less trigger-happy with the 'Edit' button.
(I'm used to forums where edits aren't tracked if it's the last post...)) --Sing in Silence 03:46, 2 April 2009 (CEST)

- Aww nertz.
- Note to self: when editing a copy-pasted link, make sure that it actually works :P
- Aww nertz.
- Topical response + timestamps. That good? Seems a bit excessive to me, but idk.
