Yeah, I just noticed that it is gone, who huffed it and why? --Capercorn FLAME! what? UNATO OWS 18:51, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

It's a stupid namespace. You're not supposed to use it. It's fun for commentary, but generally not the best for serious topics. ~

Actually, it still exists, but the tabs that lead to them were deleted. Forum Talk:Village Dump and some other forum talk pages still exist. --Sir Starnestommy (Talk • Contribs • CUN • Capt.) 21:18, August 17, 2007

Speaking of namespaces, what's the code to put a different image in the top left corner of a certain namespace? --Crazyswordsman...With SAVINGS!!!! (T/C) 00:53, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't exist. In fact, all the logos at the top of the page are the same. You're just looking through the glass of sobriety. Be like the cabal, look at it differently, man!-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 03:16, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Ohhhhhh - I've been back like half an hour and I still couldn't work out what it was that had changed... Can we get the spacer put back between the forum tab and the others, please? Purely for aesthetic reasons, and not at all the fact that it made my head spin trying to work out where the edit tab was. -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 16:18, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I liked it that way before. Than when people clogged up the actual form, the discussion had somewhere to go, like with this.--Sir Manforman 17:14, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I am agreeing with SbU on this issue. A spacer would make the row of tabs less likely to cause mental *urp* indigestion. --The Acceptable  Cainad  (Fnord) 17:55, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

No! Moosh them all together into one uber-tab: ForumDiscussionEdit+HistoryMoveWatch. Imagine how much time it will save. Imagine harder! Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 18:03, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

My uber-tab will be ForumDiscussionEdit+HistoryProtectDeleteMoveWatchGoogleWikipedia. I think I'll pass. -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 19:22, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

You have Google/Wikipedia at the top. Mine is only Forum/Edit/History/Move/Watch. How do you enable that Google/Wikipedia thing?--Sir Manforman 19:28, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

It's a javascript thing - you can steal it from my javascript if you can work it out - off the top of my head, you'll need the addenwp, addgoogle, and addlilink functions (near the bottom), and then you'll either need to call the first two of them from a "Main()" function (near the top), or I think you can just put "addOnloadHook(<function name>);" anywhere in the script, but I'm no expert on these things because I mostly steal them from other people. If you have no idea what I just said, ask me on my talk page and I'll try and help. -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 22:21, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, the spacing is now restored, and the header template now links to the talk page if it exists, so old talk pages are still accessible. --Algorithm 19:55, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Above and beyond, as usual Algorithm! -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 22:21, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

What about New Forum talkpages? Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 22:39, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Da spacer isn't working for meh!-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 14:34, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
