User talk:Preston108

Welcome to the Club Penguin Wiki, Pj Monster 1 CP!
Hi there! Welcome to the Club Penguin Wiki, the free online encyclopedia all about Club Penguin! We hope you enjoy your stay here.

If you want to discuss improvements to a page, use its talk page. A talk page is the discussion section for the page it is about. User's have their own talk pages so that different people can message them. The page you are on now is your talk page, which will be used to receive messages. Whenever you make a comment on a talk page, be sure to sign your post with your signature. You can do this by typing 4 tildes ( ~ ). You can also click the button on the edit bar to do the same thing. There is also IRC, where you can also talk about the wiki (for help, or for general discussion about it) or socializing, like a talk page, but in real time.

All users have their very own user page. User pages are pages in which the user, who owns the page, can describe themselves. Feel free to fill out your user page with information about yourself, and anything else you would like to say.

A few users called Administrators have extra tools to maintain the wiki. They have special abilities such as blocking users, deleting pages, reverting edits, and a few others. Administrators' names will normally show in green. A list of Administrators can be found here. If an admin asks you to stop doing something, it is best to respect their request and do as you are told. Sometimes not listening to them in cases where you are breaking our policy may result in a block.

Before you begin editing, we also kindly ask you to read our policy first, to avoid any blocks and to be aware of our rules.

Editing is the act of changing a page, adding information onto it. Your knowledge of the game is the prime reason why we are a large website. Pages are divided into many namespaces, ranging from our article mainspace (about Club Penguin) to userspace (about you and the users) to projectspace (about the wiki itself). Articles are our most important pages that are informative and have information on different things on Club Penguin. An example of an article would be the Coffee Shop page. To edit a page, click the "Edit this page" button on the top of the page.

Please note that this wiki is not a forum, but we do have a forum that can be used to simply chat, talk about wiki issues or project new ideas!

If you make a mistake while editing, do not stress! Just go to the bottom of the article and click "Report a problem on this page". Just explain what happened. If you intentionally mess up a page, you will be blocked from editing, per our policy.

There are many more advanced things that you will learn as you go on. However, it is important that you check out our Manual of Style. If you are not aware of the rules in the Manual of Style and Policy, you could be blocked, and it won't be our fault that you were not informed. Therefore, it is very important you go through the manual of style.

You should read What the Club Penguin Wiki is not.

For more help when editing wikis, visit Our Help Center.

You can also modify some of your account settings such as a signature at your Preferences. If you want to learn how to make a cool signature, click here!

If you have any questions, please contact an admin.

Thanks! And, once again, welcome to the Club Penguin Wiki! We are looking forward to working with you!

Postcards
Hi Pj Monster!

Thank you for the tip on those old postcards. With your help we can hopefully add them to the wiki. I would create these pages myself, but our fellow admin Penguin-Pal is much better. I informed him on the links you gave me.

Don't worry, I gave you credit ;)

Puffle Party
Hi Pj Monster.

Great Job for finding such an old newspaper page lol. But I'm sorry to inform you that your misunderstood. As you know in February 2006, the Plaza opened, and long with it came the Pizza Parlor. The Pet Shop didn't open until March 17, 2006. The day the St. Patricks' Day Party 2006 started and the day the Shamrock Pin was released. And this so called "Puffle Party" was not a real party. It was just a minor celebration of the opening of the Pet shop, and the opening day for the adoption of puffles. But unfortunately, there was no Puffle Party 2006 :(

But Good Job on finding this picture. Feel free to upload that picture to The Club Penguin Times page. :)

Screenshots
Hi Pj, First of all, thanks for the image of the Gift Shop Owner! If you want to take screenshots, it is simply done by clicking the "Print Screen" Button (two buttons above the "Delete" button). You can then paste this screenshot in Paint, or any other editing software. In case you have some programs like Picasa, whenever taking a screenshot, it automatically saves them to a folder in your computer, so you can take multiple screenshots, and having previus screenshots as well.

Uploading images
Here's a list of steps for uploading an image: Penguin-Pal  (talk)  17:33, August 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Create the image: it can be done either by downloading an image from another website (if so, please mention this in the file talk page/ summary- ll get to it later) or by taking screenshots.
 * 2) If you took a screenshot, and you don't have any editing program, you can use Paint in windows (it is default in every computer. if you don't have windows computer, there is probably another editing program) and click Edit -> Paste (Ctrl+v). You can then save your image.
 * 3) In case the image nameends with .bmp (bitmap image), this file format cannot be uploaded to the wiki. You can change the word .bmp from the end of the file and change it to .png . that should work.
 * Now, go to Special:Upload (or by clicking the "Upload image" button on ant page on the right side bar). Open the file you want to upload, and then click "upload".

RE:RE:Screenshots
Hi Pj, First of all, i apologize for the delay in hte reply. The problem is when saving the file. When you save it, below the place where you choose hte file name, there is a dropdown, that by default, says 24-bit Bitmap (*bmp, *dib). You need to choose PNG (*.PNG).

Even though my computer is not in english, i took this screenshot to show you what it will look like (i added some text in edit) The dropdown is below.

Sorry i didn't mention this detail before, but it should work now. Penguin-Pal  (talk)  18:45, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

RE:I don`t have .png
Hi Pj, You can also save your files as .jpg (it's the same as .jpeg) or as .gif, but as they compress the image, giving a low quality, i stil recommend saving as .png. In case your Pain cannot save as .png, which is quite unusual, i recommend downloading an editing program that is called GIMP- it is very easy to use, and has many functions that are not available in Paint.

Chat Problem
Hi Pj Monster!

I'm sorry that you are having a problem on chat. I've never heard a problem of someone not being able to get on chat, but I will try to help you in any way I can. If chat is just showing up as a blank page your computer might not fast enough to process the chat. What kind of computer do you use?

 * Well, if it isn't a slow computer, I don't know what to do. I don't know what the problem could be. Sorry, I couldn't be of any help. :(



Fit Picture
Hi PJ Monster!

I see your having trouble putting in a picture in a gallery and making it fit. When putting a picture in the gallery make sure the " " are not around it. Also make sure "|thumb" is not in the picture as well and to make a picture a certain size, put "|###px" in the picture you want to upload. ### represent a number. Here is an example of putting a picture in the gallery.

Blurry Pics
Hi PJ Monster!

Iv'e noticed you've been uploading blurry pics. We try to have all the pictures on our wiki in the best quality. May I ask where you are getting these pictures from. Uploading pictures to MS Paint could be the problem.


 * It's ok PJ Monster. And you haven't made this wiki ugly lol. Instead of uploading pictures to paint. Save them immediately to your computer and upload them in JPG format. Also try to upload pictures in the largest size you can find. :)




 * Good Try. At least it's in JPG format. Hmmm, I'm not sure why it is still blurry. But contact Penguin-Pal or Hey.youcp on how to fix the problem. ;)




 * I think the reason why these images are blurry, is as their size is originally similar to something around 200px, but they were "stretched" into a 1,280 × 1,024 pixels image size. In order to give them smaller scale, you can press Ctrl+W, that allows resizing the image.

Catalogs?
I think that would be way too many picture PJ monster. The galleries would be too long and take up too much space.

RE:Virus link
Hi Pj Can you please let me know how you know it was a virus, and what it caused to your computer? Penguin-Pal  (talk)  11:52, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

Hi Pj, The infobox was fine :) but the template ended before the parameters. Try this one:  Penguin-Pal   (talk)  11:45, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Re: SWFs
Hey Pj Monster,

There's this great site called cpitems where you can just search for an item and it will give you the image, ID, name, type, cost, and whether the item is a member item or not. You can also navigate here for item SWFs. Simply add the ID of the item to the end of the link. I find that site very useful for SWFs and IDs. :)

Happy almost-Halloween!
