My absence
So you guys may have noticed that I haven't been in for a while. That's because for the past few days I've been in bed with (what is assumed to be) pneumonia. Woo-hoo! I'll still be jumping in every now and then to check for vandals and such, but the actual patrolling-of-edits is going to be quite backlogged for a while (unless Adam feels like playing a little catch-up for me? :D). Stay radical. 14:39, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I've noticed that. Because I don't own all the Zelda games, therefore meaning that I'm not one to add knowledge to pages, until I actually finish some games and start buying some classics, I usually look at he recent changes too. I've been noticing and saying "Where's Matt and Ando?". You both have been gone. Anyway, I hope you get better soon. 14:44, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hows the pneumonia? Fifth day and counting that you've been backlogged. 13:00, 5 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm just about completely back on my feet, actually, thanks. I've been dropping in more and more and patrolling a few edits when the time permits. I've been out of bed for longer than two minutes, so that's good. :P I should be back in full action within the next day or so. 18:05, 5 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Awesome. As for me, I've found out i'll be leaving on the morning of the 18th for a good 3-4 days in Pennsylvania. I'll be back on the 21st then. That saddens me though. Knowing I come back on the 21st means i'll only have a week and a half 'till school starts. In case anybody doesn't know, i despise school. Why do they have to take away 7 hours (In my case) that could be spent with family? Thankfully it's a Wednesday, meaning that I only have 3 days until the first weekend. 18:33, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
I have finally decided to be serious with my Zeldawiki account. I am trying my best to help as much as I can. I was just wondering a few things. Can I upload pictures I have saved to my computer? I tried yesterday with a picture I drew of Majora's Wrath but it didn't work. What is jpg? Apparently the picture was lacking jpg. Thanks. CoreyPotter 16:41, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, you can upload pictures from a computer. I'm assuming that you already know the basic process, as it sounds like you've already tried (clicking "upload file" then browsing for the image). Regarding "jpg", it's a type of file. Other image files are "gif", "png", and "bmp". The Wiki software only accepts certain types of images (.png, .gif, .jpg, and .jpeg). To see what type of image you have, right-click the image and select "properties". It will have a field saying "Type of file: [something] image". If the [something] isn't one of the above types, then the image can't be uploaded, and you'll need to save it as a different type.
 * To do this, simply open the image in an image editor such as Paint. Select "Save as..." and change the file type to an accepted type using the drop-down menu. You can then upload the file.
 * I hope that I made sense here. ;) 16:55, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Some words of Wisdom. First of all, .jpg and .jpeg are the same. They both stand for JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group). A JPEG is really only good for complex images that use up to 256 colors. .gif stands for GIF (Graphics Interchange Format). If you have a moving image, you can only use GIF. GIF can move and store up to 256 colors, making them better than JPEG. Lastly, we have PNG (Portable Network Graphics). This can store transparent images. It also holds thousands of colors, making it better than GIF or JPEG. A format i'd like to see this wiki add is MNG. MNG (Multiple-image Network Grahics) is like PNG but supports animation. Too bad IE and Safari are too lame to support MNG. Another reason to use Firefox :D

File formats from worst to best GID -> JPEG -> PNG. 17:32, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
