What would you like to discuss? [[User:Tynian|Tynian]] 12:18, 9 January 2011 (MST)


* Hi Tynian! So.. I'm curious -- is there any way to find out an original creation date for a 2x character? I'm pretty sure Cordir was created in the fall of 1995, but due to multiple computer crashes, don't have those log files any more :(  Are there mud back ups from that time period?  Also, if you have old temple AREs, I would be glad to pull out some more temples and post them...  [[User:Cordir|Cordir]]
[[User_talk:Tynian/archive|Talk Archive Jan - Mar 2011]]


* Hi Tynian! Another question for you: in a 09/25/1995 .ARE file, I saw a reference to an immortal named Quiller -- but in all my years, I've never heard that name. Who were they, do you recall?  [[User:Cordir|Cordir]]
* Hi Tynian! It's the pest... I was wondering: is there a setting or config that allows you to add to the allowable file types for upload? I have a .wav file I'd like to upload, but it says its an illegal type. :(  [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 10:37, 3 April 2011 (MDT)
 
** I have included .wav as a valid upload type. [[User:Tynian|Tynian]] 12:05, 3 April 2011 (MDT)
*** Thanks, Tynian! [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 12:44, 18 April 2011 (MDT)
 
* Me again. I have a file of goofy comments that immortals put on one another, from 2000 - 2002, as part of a silly game of 'tag'. It contains no imm information, just sillyness. Would it be ok to post?  As an example:

** Fine in general.  Not knowing what they all are, please don't post any that would be inappropriate or that would reflect poorly upon the Immortals involved. [[User:Tynian|Tynian]] 12:51, 18 April 2011 (MDT)
 
* Yet another question, and this one... well... it's a weird one.  How would you feel about sending me a copy/zip of entire the TFC Website? It would be *enormously* helpful for combing through files to find mentions of specific players when I'm building the player pages. I can search my own files, but the merged timeline has so much stuff from Marisa that I do *not* have, that .. well.. it would help a lot, and save me a lot of time and typing, rather than combing through the same web pages over and over. I appreciate you considering the request,  [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 21:16, 26 April 2011 (MDT)
** I'm not crazy about this notion... [[User:Tynian|Tynian]] 15:23, 28 April 2011 (MST)
*** Ok, is it possible to add a 'search' function to the website? That would help accomplish some of the same thing. It's just that its hundreds and hundreds of pages, and I have somewhere around half of it (from when I donated the timeline and when I was webmistress of the old Primenet pages), but there's that other half I *can't* currently search to find esoteric and old info... :(  [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 12:25, 29 April 2011 (MST)
 
* Yet another question/request! Would it be possible to find out where the wiki's 'clock' is located? it's incorrectly reporting the date changes were made.:(  [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 09:00, 13 June 2011 (MST)
** The clock is the same clock that TFC uses, and it is accurate.  Perhaps the times you are seeing are being reported as a different time zone, such as GMT.  I'd be happy to investigate further.  Can you provide an example of a wrong time (provide link), tell me what time it shows, and what you feel the time should be?
 
* Hi Tynian! When I ban a user (spammer), I'm getting an odd error message. I'm going to send it to you via email; please be on the lookout! Thanks! [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 08:15, 20 July 2011 (MST)
 
* Hi Tynian! Can we add some sort of user account approval process to maybe cut down on the spammers? - [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 06:01, 31 July 2011 (MST)
** Possibly. [[User:Tynian|Tynian]] 10:41, 1 August 2011 (MST)
*** I've seen some that involve asking a simple 'human' type question: Something simple like, 'What does the abbreviation TFC stand for?' or 'Who is the Founding Implementor?' or the like, and they seem to help a lot. The last couple spammers have actually destroyed content or altered existing pages, rather than creating a new page, which I thought was kinda disturbing. :(  I appreciate you taking a look at this idea. - [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 12:49, 1 August 2011 (MST)


* Hi Tynian! It's me, the pest :)  I got my hands on an *ANCIENT* log of Estrelle and Crowbar's wedding. I think it was made by Mort.  While we don't usually post immortal made logs without significant editing, it's from a time period that most folks didn't use following titles. I'd like to edit OUT the Immtalk, and leave IN the "alignment" and "worships" info in the WHO lists.  I'd be glad to email it to you for your review prior to posting, if you'd like... please let me know what you think! [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 10:35, 31 January 2011 (MST)
* Hi Tynian! Would it be possible to add to the Places template, to add level range for the zone? I'm not sure how to go about adding to templates and I don't want to break anything... - [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] ([[User talk:Cordir|talk]]) 08:32, 29 July 2016 (MDT)
:* Leaving in the alignment and worships info on the who lists for this particular (ancient) log is okay.  Thanks for asking. [[User:Tynian|Tynian]] 14:49, 5 February 2011 (MST)<BR>
* Hi Tynian! Me again! Because I made exploration part of all the Triat Mastery Quests I gave out, I have a large number of '''mortal-made''' maps of various zones, complete with stick figures fleeing dragons. Would you be ok with me posting these mortal-made maps?  They were made by folks like Kaldred, Noctus, Tranquility, Katrana, etc. [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 13:59, 11 February 2011 (MST)
** Mortal made maps are okay. [[User:Tynian|Tynian]] 14:08, 11 February 2011 (MST)
*** What about maps made by folks who LATER became Immortals, but they were made when the person was mortal, and do not include any imm information?  Just wanna make sure I'm not crossing any lines before I post anything. (Example: Katrana's TMQ maps, my newbie maps from when I was mortal, etc) [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 10:10, 15 March 2011 (MDT)
**** Logs & maps created by mortals are fine. My principle concern is with information obtained as an Immortal. [[User:Tynian|Tynian]] 15:49, 15 March 2011 (MDT)
* Hi Tynian! It's the pest... I was wondering: is there a setting or config that allows you to add to the allowable file types for upload? I have a .wav file I'd like to upload, but it says its an illegal type. :(  [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 10:37, 3 April 2011 (MDT)
