== Yet another image resource == | |||
http://www.bogleech.com/dqm.html | |||
Found this one by chance while looking for scans of DQM's japanese guide, and thought it might help for some of the more obscure beasties. Also, is it me or does his shading and coloring from this period look off? The way everything is shaded reminds me of air-brsuh work you'd see on carnival attractions and fun houses.([[User:Follower of Light|Follower of Light]] ([[User talk:Follower of Light|talk]]) 22:55, 14 December 2016 (CST)) | |||
:Yeah, but I kind of thought that was the point. And when you consider some of the ''strange'' monsters ''DQM2'' had when it came to bizarre designs, I understand the sideshow or carnival angle. I liked this period myself. Bring me more ''sha-ay-ding!'' - [[User:Icysugarspike|icysugarspike]] ([[User talk:Icysugarspike|talk]]) 23:36, 14 December 2016 (CST) | |||
== Potential request feature == | |||
I've been thinking about ways to address the user-base's needs more directly, and it dawned on me that a request box of sorts might be the best way to go about that. Do you know if such a thing is possible with this site, and do you have any ideas of your own as to how we can better serve our users?([[User:Follower of Light|Follower of Light]] ([[User talk:Follower of Light|talk]]) 20:11, 22 December 2016 (CST)) | |||
:Gah. I really don't know what to say to this. I appreciate you asking me, but I would ask others. Whatever happened to FlyingRagnar, Zenithian, etc.? I thought they started up this whole wiki, as a reaction to something they didn't like about "that other wiki". I used to have a lame poll on Capcom Database wiki years back, but that's the best I can come up with. Sorry, keep asking other users. TheCodingGamer might have an idea. Happy holidays! - [[User:Icysugarspike|icysugarspike]] ([[User talk:Icysugarspike|talk]]) 07:15, 23 December 2016 (CST) | |||

== Here's to a New Year == | |||
Happy new year Ice, let's make the next year one of the best! ([[User:Follower of Light|Follower of Light]] ([[User talk:Follower of Light|talk]]) 19:54, 31 December 2016 (CST)) | |||

== DQVIII is nearly upon us! == | |||
Happy New Year, my friend! When it comes to 2016 you've worked harder than any of us! If we had a Most Valuable Editor Award I'd give it to you! :) | |||
Anyways, seeing that DQVIII on 3DS is only 19 days away, could you style up the homepage for it? You always have a good sense of artistic value. [[User:TheCodingGamer|TheCodingGamer]] ([[User talk:TheCodingGamer|talk]]) 23:32, 1 January 2017 (CST) | |||
== Image requests! == | |||
Ice, you've been absolutely invaluable in your work to provide the best official images of the series and share them with the rest of the fandom. I absolutely hate to take time away from your efforts, but if possible do you think you could find some images showing off skills? By this I mean anything from official images to simple screen captures, eve low-res ones will work. Aside from IX, we've got about all the main equipment and item galleries completed: that just leaves the remaining few spells and skills that lack illustration. If you have the time, and this certainly doesn't have to be done ASAP, do you think you could try to find a few of those missing images? ([[User:Follower of Light|Follower of Light]] ([[User talk:Follower of Light|talk]]) 16:21, 3 January 2017 (CST)) | |||
Thank you, Ice! I found them a little while back online, so I figured the site needed to have them. Supposedly they are not done by Toriyama himself, but an imitator for the PS1 strategy guide. It's hard to find any info for it though.. [[User:Aphelion|Aphelion]] ([[User talk:Aphelion|talk]]) 13:23, 23 February 2017 (CST) | |||

== Contacting the mods == | |||
Sent an email to Woodus about the uploading issue, and he says he's sent out PMs and emails to Zenithian and Flyingragnar and will get back to me once they respond. I know its not an immediate fix but at least the ball is rolling!([[User:Follower of Light|Follower of Light]] ([[User talk:Follower of Light|talk]]) 17:54, 11 March 2017 (CST)) | |||
: Hi. Sorry for the hiatus. Something went wrong with my email and I wasn't receiving emails from the wiki anymore. Probably one of many problems from what you guys have uncovered. Here is what I've looked at tonight. | |||
: I don't know what's wrong with the news feed on the homepage. I only did a quick investigation, but the URL for the RSS feed seems correct. I don't know why it is timing out currently. | |||
: I've implemented a potential fix for the image re-uploading issue. At first I thought this issue was somehow permissions related to the files themselves or on the wiki. It was actually a PHP related issue on the web server. Since the site is hosted on shared web hosting, they must have made a change which somehow disabled some PHP functions on pages whose URLs end with a file name. Hence, on any file page on the wiki, users were being auto-logged out. I've implemented a rewrite rule to redirect to a version of the same page which does not end with the file ending. Please give it a try and let me know if this breaks anything else in the process. | |||
: Aside from those 2 issues, what else is broken currently? --[[User:FlyingRagnar|FlyingRagnar]] ([[User talk:FlyingRagnar|talk]]) 00:55, 16 March 2017 (CDT) | |||
== Re: News Feed == | |||
Yeah I switched it to a different feed. The feed from Dragon's Den won't work for some reason. It works in a browser, but not in the site. I think I'm going to look into pulling a Twitter feed instead. --[[User:FlyingRagnar|FlyingRagnar]] ([[User talk:FlyingRagnar|talk]]) 19:52, 21 March 2017 (CDT) | |||
Hey, check this out. Does this page load for you? [http://45.33.67.173/wiki/Main_Page] I'm working on potentially moving the site to a new host. None of the images will work, I didn't upload those to the new host yet because there is like 8GB to upload. --[[User:FlyingRagnar|FlyingRagnar]] ([[User talk:FlyingRagnar|talk]]) 19:54, 22 March 2017 (CDT) | |||
== You doing alright? == | |||
Just wanted to check in and see how things are going in your region of the world map. Hope all is going as well as it can and, if you're in the Southeast, that these biblical deluges haven't washed you away!([[User:Follower of Light|Follower of Light]] ([[User talk:Follower of Light|talk]]) 11:35, 7 April 2017 (CDT)) | |||
==Not a problem my friend== | |||
Not a problem my friend. I'm just doing my little part while everyone else does theirs. We all await your return with great expectation, but seriously take your time. I've been juggling a lot these past few months that it's felt good to do even the smallest edits. But regardless, hope to see you soon!

===That Mean Green=== | |||
Done and done, my friend. Just give the site a little bit of time to update the changes. :) [[User:TheCodingGamer|TheCodingGamer]] ([[User talk:TheCodingGamer|talk]]) 13:40, 19 April 2017 (CDT) | |||
== Site Feedback == | |||
Hey there, just wanted to say thanks for contributing so much to the wiki over the years. I'm sure you are probably aware it has been migrated to a new host. Everything should be up and working great at this point. Please let me know if you find things that are broken or could use attention. We are on a much better host now, so hopefully a lot of past problems are no longer an issue. --[[User:FlyingRagnar|FlyingRagnar]] ([[User talk:FlyingRagnar|talk]]) 00:51, 1 October 2017 (EDT) | |||
