And I believe Zombie meant a |-symbol ( alt gr and < on some keyboard layouts, don't know which you are using so cannot say what you need to press ). That changes the appearance of links and sigs, and allows links like [[Janitor Missile Array (Apocalypse)|Janitor missiles]] so you can fit them better into your text.

Signatures

I've been wondering about this since I first saw your sigs here.

How have you been doing them?

- Bomb Bloke 02:35, 20 August 2008 (PDT)


I just usually use the signature-button over the text window. It's the third to the right from the "trumpet" media link button. It just adds the three ~'s to the message you are editing, which UFOpaedia/wiki transforms into a standard signature.

Hope I didn't explain a familiar thing to you.

Well you did, but that doesn't explain how that causes your name to come out as "Karp" instead of "Karpatius".

- Bomb Bloke 21:08, 20 August 2008 (PDT)


Simple, use a pipe and enter something different other than the default username: Bomb. --Zomb 21:47, 20 August 2008 (PDT)

Edit: go to your preferences and add a Nickname to the field. That automatically adds the pipe and nickname. ;)


Aah, you mean the nickname, BB. That is displayed instead of your username when using sigs.

Aha! All becomes clear. Thanks guys. :)

- Bomb Bloke 03:28, 21 August 2008 (PDT)


No prob. Hope to see a fun nickname soon.
