How to "align" a user box"

In order to align a user box you have to user tables

For example, .

Would produce:

This user thinks or feels they are hated by everyone else (or knows it).	MCR This user is going to lead you, like a phantom in the summer, to join The Black Parade.	MCR This user is a My Chemical Romance fan.
This user plays the Final Fantasy series.	KH This user plays the Kingdom Hearts series.	This user is a bibliophile.

Problem

The tests that I did in my sandbox seems to indicate that using the {{clear}} template seems to fix the problem you mentioned. Vivio Testarossa 00:20, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

From my analysis I have come up with the following diffs:

• 3 userboxes per line, {{clear}} not used.
• 3 userboxes per line, {{clear}} used.
• 2 per line {{clear}} used.
• 2 per line {{clear}} not used.

In the case where {{clear}} is used, it appears on the line after the infobox. Also, note that the diffs don't include the flashing text, so you will have to manually that in. Vivio Testarossa 04:39, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

How to make a signature with different colors:

Examples

How my signature is produced

Take my signature here:
<font color="green">]</font></font></font>^{] ]} 02:04, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Which produces:
Vivio Testarossa 02:04, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

A example of a signature

So if you wanted it to say "Mr. Green instead of "Jacob Green696" an example of this would be:
<font color="green">]</font> (])

Which produces:
Mr. Green (talk)

How to implement

In order to actually implement the changes you must adjust them in Special:Preferences and paste your desired signature

TWINKLE

From what I can see it seems that you forgot to import the script. In order to do this, add the line at the bottom of this message to the top of your monobook.js In addition to adding the following line, you must bypass your cache. Vivio Testarossa 04:45, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

importScript('User:AzaToth/twinkle.js');

Once you have done the above, following tabs at the top of it (in addition to the normal ones).

User Talk

• WARN to give users warnings for misbehavior (see relevant policies/guidelines for more details.
• ARV for Sock puppets, vandals, and inappropriate user names
• CSD to quickly deletion pages.
• LAST, view last version.
• RPP to request protection of a page (also see the Protection policy
• XFD for deletion discussions.
• Unlink, to remove all links to the page

Other pages

• CSD to quickly deletion pages.
• LAST, view last version.
• RPP to request protection of a page (also see the Protection policy
• Misplaced Pages:Proposed deletion, for deletion of uncontroversial pages (does not appear in all pages).
• XFD for deletion discussions.
• Unlink, to remove all links to the page

If you see them, then you have installed TWINKLE Correctly. Vivio Testarossa 00:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Trolls- What is one...

As per your question concerning What a "troll" is a troll is either

1. A fictitious, mythological creature, related to elves or dwarves, or monsters.

1. A person who is deliberately inflammatory on the Internet in order to provoke a vehement response from other users.

You might want to see:

• Misplaced Pages:What is a troll?
• Troll (internet)

Although from what I can see, you do not seem to be engaging in what I would consider "trolling" therefore you don't have anything to worry about. Vivio Testarossa 22:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user cleanup

No problem. I'm trying to cleanup the category, so I'll be moving/fixing any I see. xenocidic (talk) 16:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Sure. See Category_talk:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user#Spring cleaning for how I'm going about it... I'm already into users who have not been active within the last two months, and I've got a lot of adoptoffers out there already, I'm afraid if they all accept I might have too much on my plate. What about you? Can you send out an offer to User:SpockMonkey , User:Letter 7,

Re:MfD

I have no opinion on the page, I simply removed the speedy tag he placed since it did not meet the criteria for speedy deletion. MfD is the proper venue for such pages, so the MfD is valid. You should make your arguments to keep the page there. VegaDark (talk) 17:04, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Please stop offering to "adopt"

Please stop with this "adoption" nonsense. I don't see that you have much of an idea what we do here at Misplaced Pages, and I don't want you leading other newbies astray. Friday (talk) 17:24, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I was just coming to ask the same thing. Jacob, you've been editing for less than one month; if anything, you should be adopted (not the adopter). Spend some time getting to know policy and practice, and maybe in a few months you can participate more directly in the adoption program. - auburnpilot talk 17:29, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I've restored several users' userpages to show a request to be adopted and removed your offer to adopt them, since you aren't ready to adopt yet- not until you've more fully mastered how to usefully edit on Misplaced Pages yourself. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:34, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I stopped as soon as Friday told me. get off my back people. Mr. Green 17:39, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
