We've got profiles now

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-21 04:00:20

shit be trippy.

IF YOU MADE ONE YOU SHOULD TOTALLY POST THAT YOU MADE ONE HERE

so we can all satisfy our inner attention whore or something

and on that note, I totally made one.

Tre · 2012-07-21 05:09:19

I've spent like an hour slaving away at mine and it still isn't done but whatever, feel free to take a peek.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-21 05:11:44

Oh gog you did formats and a picture how did you do this

Princess Alice · 2012-07-21 05:15:59

That be HTML, good sir.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-21 05:18:25

I don't know how to HTML.

eet ees foreign to me.

edit: akshully. I got this.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-21 05:20:58

I'm actually going to update mine anyway.

Shit's going to be a biography.

That no one will ever read.

Because why the hell not.

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-07-21 05:28:24

Now I can bring my teal deer out to play in my own backyard. Fantastic.

Tre · 2012-07-21 05:29:38

You're about to get learned, folks. :P

For headers, it's simple enough: the <h1> tag is your friend. Just put <h1> around your text and you're done, like so:

<h1> HI GUYS ASDFGHJKL; LOL</h1>

which makes this:

HI GUYS ASDFGHJKL; LOL

As for images, that's a little more difficult. To implement the image normally you can just put it in like a basic image:

<img src="insert image URL here, herp derp">

But to get it to align up with the paragraph text like how my profile has it you have to do it like this:

<img src="image URL" width="image width" height="image height" align="right or left">

Just replace what's there with how you want it and put it in your profile, and boom, you're done.

(If it's too complicated, just ask me, I'll do what I can when possible.)

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-21 05:34:56

um actually I figured most of that out.

Not the image thing though, so thank you. ^_^;

Anonus · 2012-07-21 05:39:00

I wrote mine an hour ago or so. I was worried that it would be too self-indulgent.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-21 05:40:21

That's actually quite subtle.

Have you seen mine, man? It's a behemoth. And I just rewrote it to make it even more of a behemoth. Have of it isn't even about me.

Debating whether or not to mention my ADD and Asthma on there, right now.

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-07-21 05:40:55

I really like your profile description, Anonus. You sound infinitely less self-absorbed than I do in mine... which is probably true of you as a person as well. I don't know.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-21 05:42:36

You guys all sound so suave in yours.

Mine is like LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT SUPER LAZULI

Me, a guy named Trevor Whatever? Suave?

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-21 05:45:30

NICE QUOTE, TREVS

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-07-21 05:45:40

Me, suave? Not unless I'm wearing my leather jacket, and even then it's a stretch.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-21 05:46:04

also how'd you do the little blue bit above your post box on your profile

Tre · 2012-07-21 05:46:27

Oh, that? That's just a status update, baked right into Vanilla; go to your Activity page and write something, it'll be there.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-21 05:48:56

ohmygordthatssocool

also this thing. I keep editing it. This is going to be exactly like my troper page.

You watch, you'll come back in a month and a picture of Bianca from Pokemon will be on there for absolutely no reason.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-21 05:52:31

Actually, I think my profile might be good now.

I don't think I can improve upon the improvement I just made to the very last line of it.

Tre · 2012-07-21 05:55:26

I love how it calls you Super Laezuli like the heavy metal umlaut is supposed to be a Thing that you pronounce.

Unless it is a Thing that you pronounce. Sorry if it is.

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-07-21 05:58:24

Lazuli is "LA-zoo-lie" usually, but if we're following the German/Finnish pronunciation with the umlaut, it's "LE-zooh-leeh."

^ Our wiki would be the in-joke wiki to end all in-joke wikis

Princess Alice · 2012-07-21 05:59:06

Mine is just a placeholder until I decide what to write in it, but I wonder if anyone will get the reference.

Tre · 2012-07-21 06:02:08

^ lolcontinuitynod

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-21 06:08:45

Tre said:

No need to apologize.

The umlaut is (based off of what little I remember of German, ie, probably wrong) supposed to make the pronunciation closer to "Super Lazily". Which describes me quite well.

Lumine said:
We should have a wiki next. And then take over the world. >:D

Actually, that'd probably be a good alternative to my Big Book of Heapisms thread.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-21 06:11:15

What are you talking about?

A wiki with a page on this guy:

is a good wiki.

Just my opinion.

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-07-21 06:12:40

The ä is roughly pronounced like the e in bet, but longer. So, pretty close to "lazily," yeah.

Derp Lizard is made of win.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-21 06:13:14

so it's Super Leezuli.

I AM A GENIUS.

oh well. Could've sworn it was a long A, guess not.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-21 06:17:07

If you mean "make an off-brand TVTropes", check out Jack Butler's wiki, I'm sure it'll fulfill your needs.

I meant more as a catalog of our in-jokes. Conceited, it would be if we were trying to impress somebody, but we're not.

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-07-21 06:17:10

They're very close sounds. The Finnish ää is almost -ay, but... drier, I guess.

As for what Lumine's saying... I have thoughts. It would need a thread.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-21 06:17:52

*shrugs*

I'm Dutch anyway, loldutchjoke

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-07-21 06:19:32

And I'm mostly German and German-Jewish. Make of that what you will.

Princess Alice · 2012-07-21 06:21:19

I've thought about adding a wiki before, oddly enough, but: (a) I'd have to ask Lee if it's doable, and (b) I'm not sure it would really serve a purpose beyond giving me a sandbox to play in.

You make it sound as if a wiki means anything more than "somebody took 5 minutes to post some stuff on the internet."

I mean, sure, a wiki can be more than that--just look at how ingrained Wikipedia's become in our lives and our culture--but it doesn't have to be, if we don't take it seriously.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-21 06:36:56

Technically it'd be pages upon pages of us talking about stupid in-jokes.

That said I'd only go for it if others would as well.

Tachyon · 2012-07-21 06:40:06

Most wikis I've seen give each user one profile page and the rest is about other stuff.

Why would you recommend anybody this.

That was the main reason I considered adding a wiki to this site, but with the new profile pages right here on the forum, it doesn't seem like there's much purpose to that anymore.

Justice4243 · 2012-07-21 06:55:54

Some lazy asshole made a profile for me and didn't add any fancy-smancy computer code all them sk8r h4x0r5 are using nowadays.

Maybe that same mystery, lazy asshole will spruce it up in the future.
