Okay. Got it. -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 12:13, 16 December 2015 (EST)

GoBoxes

Discussion carried on from Talk:Turbo (G1)#Go-Box, after Grum fixed a GoBox for me.

Just for future reference, all the Goboxes and their associated links can be found here. Cheers! Grum (talk) 21:33, 30 December 2015 (EST)

Ah, thank you! Much appreciated! -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 21:35, 30 December 2015 (EST)

Linking to tfu.info images

Conversation was in reference to this edit I made to the Big Powered page.

If you direct link to images there, anyone following the link just gets a generic gif because the site has leech protection set up. Maybe we could get him to set up page for it and link to that? --abates (talk) 23:22, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Sorry, I didn't know about the leech protection. It took me straight to the picture of Big Powered when I tried it in the preview. I take it that's not the case with the page proper? Bummer, though I get why they have leech protection. I don't know how to get him to set up a page for Big Powered, as I don't know how to contact the person/people who run(s) TFU.info. I'll go see if they have an email listed on the site's homepage. -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 23:34, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Your browser will have cached the image - when I followed the link, I got the leech protection image. --abates (talk) 23:53, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Ah, I see. Yeah, I just cleared my browser cache, and now I get the leech protection image.

I didn't see any e-mail listed anywhere on the site, or any other way to contact the siterunner(s). Anyway, I'm about to go to sleep. I'll look into this further tomorrow. Hopefully we can either find a way to get the siterunner(s) to put up a page for Big Powered or get permission to put the image on Transformers Wiki's page for Big Powered. -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 00:13, 2 January 2016 (EST)

Sorry

Yes, I get it- I knew someone was bound to call me out for this. Perfectionist + lack of sleep = edit mess. My apologies- I spend a lot of time on TARDIS Wiki and they encourage bulk editing. Manual of style always translates differently with each Wiki and sometimes it just doesn't click. No offense, but I probably will leave the editing to others and let my Wxy handle hibernate. I'm more of a reader than an editor --Wxy (talk) 23:25, 1 January 2016 (EST)

devastation

How come you removed the edits i did on the TF Devastation page? that info was legit--Cannonfodder4000 (talk) 23:25, 16 January 2016 (EST) User talk:Cannonfodder4000

You're talking about this, right? Masterpiece Sideswipe doesn't actually have silver swords. I think you might have been referring to his piledriver accessories. As for the other one...I think that might have been an accident, so I wouldn't mind if you put that one back in.
Thank you for asking me about it, rather than getting into an edit war. I appreciate it. Cheers! -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 09:44, 15 January 2016 (EST)

EDIT:I triple-checked those edits, and I now see that you were referring to the G2 Version of Masterpiece Sideswipe, which does have a silver sword. So it looks like both your edits were pretty solid. Sorry for removing them; I wouldn't mind if you put them back in. Cheers! -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 09:59, 15 January 2016 (EST)

The edits in question were reverted by Cannonfodder4000.

Grimlock

The reason why I think there should be a bit on the one Grimlock's page distincting him from the other Grimlock is because according to an Ask Vector Prime post from May, 2015, the 'Dinobots' toyline actually takes place in the same continuity as the RID series. so it seems like it would make sense to include a distinction between the two on the page itself. I found a bit on the Slapper (Dinobots) page in the same vein, and thought Grimlock could use a similar touch. What do you think? Second only to Sky-Byte 23:00, 24 January 2016 (EST) PsychoShark

Ah, I'd forgotten that AVP placed the Dinobots Dinobots in a Viron universe. (Normally I wouldn't have known to begin with, as I rarely keep up with AVP, but I made stops in several Dinobots pages while I was fixing Bludgeon links a while back) Sorry about that little skirmish; I wasn't particularly wild about the wording, but I really should've talked this out with you through more than edit summaries. I've added this. (EDIT @ 08:58, 25 January 2016 (EST): It's since been changed to this, which I prefer to my version because it actually states why they could be confused.) Is that an acceptable compromise?

Also, I've moved your comment down to the bottom of the talk page; for future reference, that's where you should post when making a new section. Cheers! -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 00:19, 25 January 2016 (EST)

More discussion about this note would occur on Saix's talk page after he removed it, and it was ultimately deemed unnecessary.

Spambots

I think we tagged all the pages. Good show.--Giggidy (talk) 15:13, 27 January 2016 (EST)

Phew! Thank goodness! -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 15:15, 27 January 2016 (EST)

This converstion was in reference to the "Spambot fiasco" of January 27th.

Image advice

Hey, Foffy, if the image is displaying as the previous one, it's likely because your cache hasn't updated. Try reloading the page after you've uploaded it and it should change. Escargon (talk) 20:51, 16 September 2018 (EDT)

And if that doesn't work, try holding shift and pressing F5 to force a cache clear on the page when you refresh. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:57, 16 September 2018 (EDT)

I already cleared my cache twice, didn't change a thing. I even checked the page on a different device, where it can't possibly be cached; same result. Are you sure it's good for you? For me, it looks fine on the image page and shows up as the robot-only pic, but it displays as a squashed extended robot + vehicle on both Optimus Prime (Cyberverse) and Optimus Prime (disambiguation). It works this way on multiple devices and browsers for me, so I can't think of any way this could only be at my end.

It showed up in the messed up form for me on both of those pages, but reloading fixed it. --Khajidha (talk) 21:17, 16 September 2018 (EDT)

I got on my laptop and did the shift + F5 thing, and that made look right on there and on my mobile devices. So problem solved, thanks. -Foffy (talk) 21:49, 16 September 2018 (EDT)

Low-res, big filesize screenshots

Heyo! Your new Cyberverse screenshots are lower-res, but also a somewhat high file size. The best way is to go full screen, take the screenshot, then open PowerPoint, paste it in, then decrease its size. That way you have a high res image with a low filesize. Thanks! --notirishman (talk) 00:18, 16 October 2018 (EDT)

Done (albeit with MS Paint instead of PowerPoint). Thanks for the advice -Foffy (talk) 01:01, 16 October 2018 (EDT)

Thanks for doing it! --notirishman (talk) 16:34, 16 October 2018 (EDT)

Prowl caption

I did a caption for Siege Prowl and saw that you removed it, just wondering what was wrong with it?Nickster563 (talk) 23:36, 2 November 2018 (EDT)

It wasn't really that funny and it didn't look like you put any effort into it. -Foffy (talk) 03:15, 3 November 2018 (EDT)

It was in reference to a song with those lyrics. Nickster563 (talk) 13:12, 3 November 2018 (EDT)

I guess if it's something you actually did put thought into, go ahead and put it back I guess? Keep in mind, I say this not in the sense of me having any authority over what will happen to the caption after you put it back, but just in the sense of "whatever, this matter obviously means more to you then it means to me." -Foffy (talk) 18:49, 3 November 2018 (EDT)

Its not that its really important, its just that i thought those lyrics would go well with the picture as a caption. Ill put it back but if someone else decides to take it out then ill just leave it be. Edit: Looks like someone else put a better caption already, so problem solved Nickster563 (talk) 20:57, 3 November 2018 (EDT)
