And my own aforementioned iffiness with the current usage of Zuko's name. Thoughts? FruipyLoops File:Toph-DoBS-2.gif 13:51, November 26, 2013 (UTC) It was originally using the {{USERNAME<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>}} template, however, due to the fact that anonymous users saw a weird space, as did phone users, I changed it to Zuko, so that our Phone, and anonymous users see it fine. Srijay K - TechFilmer 15:30, November 26, 2013 (UTC) Is there perhaps a way to alter the Javascript such that the template displays the username as normal for users, but something else for non users? I agree that having the name Zuko there seems a bit strange, but at the same time, having a blank space there for anons isn't exactly desirable. 18:01, November 26, 2013 (UTC) Well there used to be a way, but when I noticed it stopped working, I changed it. I can try looking into it however. Edit: Working on a solution, should be done in about a day. Srijay K - TechFilmer 18:04, November 26, 2013 (UTC) It's already done. Non-users should see \"Zuko\" since they don't have a username. KettleMeetPot \u2022 wall 02:16, November 27, 2013 (UTC) Yes, it does - I just logged out to take a look. It works - does that mean people are in favor of the change? 02:19, November 27, 2013 (UTC) I'm certainly in favor of it. it makes perfect sense, and there's no foreseeable downside to it. -- 02:20, November 27, 2013 (UTC) I am in favor, however, I do think that the way it is being done could use some work as it is a very hacky method at the moment. But for the purposes of this forum I support it. Srijay K - TechFilmer 02:46, November 27, 2013 (UTC) The way what is being done? 02:51, November 27, 2013 (UTC) The way Zuko is being shown. It is a very specific patch that needs replacement by a more wide ranged patch. However, it really doesn't matter for this forum. Srijay K - TechFilmer 03:14, November 27, 2013 (UTC) No, since you brought it up, you've got my attention. What exactly are you suggesting to make it less \"hacky\"? KettleMeetPot \u2022 wall 03:20, November 27, 2013 (UTC) At the moment this patch only works for the Discontinued template, so I'm working on a way so that {{USERNAME<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>}} will work anywhere, but for the purposes of this forum what you did is perfect. I've still got to finish it but as soon as I do, you can expect a post on the Admin noticeboard. Srijay K - TechFilmer 06:13, November 27, 2013 (UTC) Not a terrible idea. So, I've taken the liberty of actually implementing it. KettleMeetPot \u2022 wall 09:26, November 27, 2013 (UTC)"@en .
