Could you let me know when you're at a point when it wouldn't be disruptive for me to merge the histories of AboutUsBrowser and User:Automaton? TedErnst | talk 07:37, 15 November 2007 (PST)

Okay, doing it now. Please don't edit either page for a few moments. I'll post here again when I'm done. TedErnst | talk 07:47, 15 November 2007 (PST)

edit Thanks!

Vartan,

Thanks for your help with HopeForAnotherDay.org. =) It is highly appreciated and by looking at the history I learned a new thing as well. =D Thanks!

--Nick 08:12, 15 November 2007 (PST)

I will email you the guest password. =) They are all public domain. When a graphic site was shut down back in 2004 I asked if I can back up the smilies for personal use and to share with others. I was told I may. I only had time to save about a fifth of them =( wish I could've got them all. The license public domain xD but the album is hidden because it is select given (I don't want people hotlinking my album/using all my bandwidth). Over 150 with full quality. My favorite are the Firemen. Don't ask why =P --Nick 17:30, 17 November 2007 (PST)

You're welcome! I'm glad to help. Anytime.

edit #if: tutorial?

Vartan, I know you explained this to me once before, but could you teach me again what #if: does and how it works? I'm trying something and I'd really like to do it myself this time! :-) If I can't get it, I'll ask if you can do it and you'll probably do it in 5 minutes. :-) But I'm stubborn and really want to do it myself this time. Help with #if:? Thanks! TedErnst | talk 08:59, 15 November 2007 (PST)

Thank you for the link! I'll check it out. Don't worry about being short on time. I'll sort it out. And if I don't, I'll bug you again when you're less busy. Thanks much! TedErnst | talk 08:12, 16 November 2007 (PST)

edit WikiTourTabs

Hi Vartan,

Really cool tabs! And ... (you knew there was going to be an "and," didn't you?) ... we have a concept in the tour that's a little different from normal wiki stuff. Notice how we don't have any WikiLinks in the tour text? We do that on purpose to keep people focused on just one thing at a time, and not getting lost navigating to other places. And the tabs kind of break this model by providing the distracting (I say distracting not meaning negative, but meaning options) option to jump around. Would you mind if I take the tabs down while we talk about this some more?

peace, TedErnst | talk 14:35, 16 November 2007 (PST)

edit rawr

Replied to you on my talk page xD and I figured out how to do the template links =D. On IRC now. --Nick 11:41, 18 November 2007 (PST)

The IRC server keeps kicking me for somereason.

Maybe because I kicked you. One moment please, I'll try to change some settings in the configuration of the channel.

edit morning

Hi Vartan, nice to talk to you yesterday. Yes I am a west coast person, I live in Portland as well. Best, MarkDilley

edit IRC

Hey Vartan, it is good morning, I'm in PST. I don't know why it would cut you off after the first space, my client also gives the same input to the server as you are saying. I tried looking for a wiki or some help guide on some help on input information; but, couldn't find anything. Although, I'm suspecting that many people will want to keep the programs separate as they usually listen to more than just the aboutus channel and keep it running at all times. --Simon | talk 10:04, 19 November 2007 (PST)

edit Thanks and a quick question

Hi Vartan! I saw what you did for Art Talk:Maryum Aliza - it looks great. Thanks very much indeed. I tried copying it for another page, ArtTalk:WazirKhanMosque and managed to mess up the AboutUs sidebar. If you have a moment I was hoping you could take a quick look at it, or point me towards somewhere I can find out how to fix it? I'm a complete illiterate in these matters. Thanks again for doing up the Maryum Aliza page so nicely.

edit category bot

Did you know there's an automatic sorting function? Check my personal page. TedErnst (talk) 14:24, 25 November 2007 (PST)

edit bots in general

Hi Vartan,

We need a bot policy list Wikipedia has. Could we agree short-term that no bot will make any more than 50 edits per day or 200 for the first week or something? Until we know that all is well? And then let it loose? We need to avoid this kind of problem in future of 12,000 unpatrolled edits. What do you think? We need to go slower is all. peace, TedErnst (talk) 20:36, 25 November 2007 (PST)

edit Need Help...

Dude i was wondering if you could take the time to help me align an image with it's caption...go to jehansher wali's page on art talk lahore...'preciate it if you could help...

Thanks for the heads up Vartan. It should be fixed now in IE6/7, etc. Also, I finally got around to sizing down the edit text in IE. Forgot about that one. :) --VinhNguyen 11:57, 27 November 2007 (PST)

Thanks a lot for ur help on my page-Art Talk:Maryum Aliza:) U kinda did what i was trying to do but could not quite manage to!

edit CategorySortBot

I'm not sure if you have seen this, but I just wanted to give you a heads up. I'm not sure how bots or the CategorySortBot in particular works, but yeah. Best, Kristina **talk** 22:11, 29 November 2007 (PST)

edit Revert animation

Love the Revert animation, Vartan. Clear, crisp, uncluttered and no need to even look at the text. Do you think it might be a good idea to number the frames somehow, so it's easier for utter newbies to follow the sequence? As usual, great stuff :) -- FatimaRaja 23:48, 29 November 2007 (PST)

edit re: paparenjis.com

No problem. I just noticed my edit summary sounded a little snippy, it wasn't meant to be though. Lack of sleep is catching up to me I think Joey 21:18, 30 November 2007 (PST)

I can't talk right now, but am in IRC if you want to drop in there. I'll be leaving shortly. TedErnst (talk) 14:31, 2 December 2007 (PST)

edit Images

Saw your note on Mark's page, and I deleted the image. That's a simple one, under our AdultContentPolicy. You can probably go ahead and remove those, the same as we remove adult thumbnails from adult flagged sites. DrewMyers | talk 21:34, 2 December 2007 (PST)

Drew and Vartan, not sure if you noticed, but any page flagged as adult automatically hides the thumbnail, so no need to do that extra step anymore. Yay! TedErnst (talk) 08:34, 3 December 2007 (PST)

Hi Vartan! I noticed that your bot is sorting categories currently. Let me know your vision on this please :-) Best, MarkDilley

11:20, 10 December 2007 (PST)

edit Ooh!

Would you mind leaving a message for User:JDCohen explaining the magic you made? In my reply to him I said how we like to encourage questions on the wiki so that it's transparent and someone who knows the most can help and answer, and you just proved that to a T!!! You rock, Kristina ..talk.. 12:31, 10 December 2007 (PST)

Don't worry about the message. The deed has been done (puts bloody sword back into sheath). --Vartan

edit category sort bot

Vartan,

Before you turn this back on again, could we talk about it? I'm worried that people are receiving emails alerts because of these edits. Or is mediawiki smart enough not to send watchlist emails on bot edits? If that's the case, then I'm probably okay. I'd still like to talk about it. Maybe there are better uses we could put your bot? TedErnst (talk) 15:07, 14 December 2007 (PST)

edit presense meter

Vartan,

The new template seems to leave those names floating, so when I scroll down, they don't scroll off the page (firefox for mac). Is that intended? Glad to hear you're not dead! TedErnst (talk) 15:52, 18 December 2007 (PST)

That's not good. I'll check it out. --Vartan

edit AboutUs Browser

First off I love the idea of the browser, gave me a smile just using it :) Do you have a person that reports bugs to you? I have some experience with software development/testing (years ago but the rules still apply :), I noticed alot of bugs and many things you could improve the software with but thought I'd ask you first before I gave you a huge list of errors and bug reports, lol - I think it has some potential and would like to help you out with testing it if you would like? It has the spark just hasn't turned into a fire just yet if you know what I mean... I'm more than happy to help where ever I can, just let me know what you need and I'll see what I can do, cheers WayToHope ^(talk)

Hello Vartan,

I like the footer on your PersonalPage! Nice :-) - Wanted to know if you would be able or willing to help me build the PageLeveling template. I don't know templates very well, but I think this can work. Look at it and see if you can understand the project, or if we should talk, given that you have the time or inclination! Best, MarkDilley

looking great!!! when you aer more or less done, would love to chat for a few minutes. ;-) ~~
