I don't usually say Happy Birthday..

..but when I do, it's for Charmy. ;)

Happy Birthday Charmy! :D Hope you get all the things an 18 year old girl wants! haha

Just so you know, this is only for the tables that the left side is a reference or index. It can't be applied to the tables that are, for example, time ranges or anything where the far left table cell can't be darker. I need to build that one next. :) Stay tuned.

With tables, if you've ever had to deal with a checkerboard pattern manually (dark blue, light blue, dark blue, etc), it's a pain in the ass. Especially if you have to go back and add or remove a row, then you have to re-color every OTHER row below it or else you'll have two of the same colored rows together. x.x;

I made a new style for tables, which makes things a lot easier and things will look consistent all around...

Questions? Suggestions?

I'm actually not fond of the ranking system for people in general. Everyone currently here and active deserves 5 stars, but then some loser decides to give you a bad ranking for stupid reasons to drop you to 4. How about removing it?

I agree with Charmy, the heart levels are too connected with dating and marriage in the game to be used for rating someone in awesomeness. :P

This reminds me of when I said that if RS were to get a designer, it can't be just any designer. They would very likely make similar 'mistakes' like this. That's why the designer we need is one that knows all the intricacies of Harvest moon and how to apply them to a design. That's why I'm not making a design, even though I can make a very good generic website... :P

Good effort though Peter -- I award you thought points!

I'm uploading this trailer to the RS youtube channel. If Sessy or Marie can go in there and edit the details, that'd be amazing.

I should also remind everyone that I'm still open to reimbursing a few of the top-most content contributors for their HM game purchases...translators get brownie points.

Who doesn't love free HM/RF games?!

Ah, that cheat sheet was for editing content on the old site, not the wiki. We've discontinued editing content for the old site and just redirect all the pages to the wiki. :P Disregard everything on this page haha.

What you're looking for is this reference page: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting

Thanks, I'll add it.

I can't remember, but I went to it and it says "reserved page" which meant that it was just a placeholder. It's been a while since I've edited the core wiki, I'll have to remove that when I get a chunk of time. ;)

- Removed the "we're new" thing. ;)
- Removed/Updated existing Staff. If you want to be added, post your answers.

Hey Peter, welcome back! Long time man, it was good catching up a little over PM.

As far as what happened here.. I have to agree with everyone.. all of the die hard contributors moved on and that's when the site started to suffer. Saffy was also very chatty and was great keeping the flow of discussions and topics rolling. He was the life of the party and was very social and active everywhere and always coming up with new goofy things that would get members talking.

What we need:

• Someone who can be the life of the party as mentioned above.
• Graphic Designer: The site's design could use a revamp, but we don't want just any graphics designer or even a very talented generic designer. No. We need someone who is great at design AND really knows and loves the games. They need to know how to pull and re-create elements from the games and can basically ignite the love for the games in everyone who merely looks at the design.
• Japanese text translator: We need info before it comes out here in the US. This was huge for getting traffic. This persona needs to be able to get very far in the game and know how to get to every scene or fetch all the ingredients to cook all the recipes. It would also be very preferable if this person was savvy with emulators and can take screenshots.
• Die hard content contributor - Someone who owns every guide there is, knows everything about every game, and is great with writing.

I'm sure the above can even be divided further and other roles added.

I will say though, and believe it or not, but the wiki gets a lot of hits. I believe that even with just content, we can get a lot of members and old members to come back just by focusing on content alone.

That's my two cents for now. :)

Awww, thanks Charmy! That's adorable (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

For all my fangirls and fanboys...

Bad framing, I know, it's the only picture that wasn't blurry, and I'm too lazy to do it all over.

Snatch it while it's up. I'll be taking it down soon.

Wow, good find there! Happy birthday to you as well :D

Thanks everyone! :D

Zboy: Dude, thanks for making this topic and for the xbox cake. That looks friggen delicious!

Darth: Always the most creative! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/darth-toot.gif)

Rebecca: Final Fantasy 7 sword cake ftw! Now if only Tifa was included... >.>

You basically go to the product page (not cart), then add the tag to the end and press enter to go to the new link, then click "add to cart".

And RS gets between 4 to 6% of the item(s) cost you purchased. So if you bought a $100 'thing', RS would get between 4 to 6 dollars for the referral.

Those errors are usually our hosting provider's fault and there's nothing the staff here at RS can do about them. They eventually go away by themselves.

Wow it really does seem like yesterday I was wishing you happy 21st. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Happy Birthday Anne! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/darth-toot.gif)

Ohh yeah, I think I know who he is now (looked him up). Haven't really seen any of the Harry Potter movies sadly.

Welcome! Haha yeah I was just about to reply to the email, but it's good to see you got it to work.

No. Alan Rickman IS MINE! Actually I don't know who he is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

If you don't have interest in the HM forums, there is a tiny minimize button on the right of the categories.

I hate to agree with twi, but that sounds like a good idea. =o

Yep, lol. Isn't that how it goes though?
