I have a picture of the Safari icon, can I offer it here? - Fbv65edel 23:06, 25 January 2006 (UTC) Aha, it is already uploaded to Wikipedia. Should have known. Is there a way the userbox for Safari can be changed? -01:19, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

There is no link next to the gaiaonline userbox leading to a page with the userbox code. I have no idea how to fix this... anybody have a clue?

How come there's no youtube userboxes? Kyo cat 23:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Can someone please tell me what happened to the userbox User: YTMND? It has been deleted but I couldn't find any information regarding the deletion of the box. I looked in multiple talk pages but couldn't find anything. Thanks.

Gaim has been renamed to
Pidgin. I have created a
Pidgin userbox, but how do we get
the many Gaim users to realize this (or should we just modify
the Gaim userbox some more? Should this page start listing this new userbox instead of the Gaim userbox?

There should be a userbox for Verizon FiOS, but I'm too lazy to make one.— Michael 20:58, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
I made a coupple userboxes for Second Life but when I try to add them in the middle of a section they mess the page up in preview and jump to the top. Here's the code:
{{tlu|User:EllePollack/Userboxes/Second_Life_Resident|Firstname Lastname}}||{{User:EllePollack/Userboxes/Second_Life_Resident|Firstname Lastname}} |- {{tlu|User:EllePollack/Userboxes/Second_Life_Content_Creator|Firstname Lastname}}||{{User:EllePollack/Userboxes/Second_Life_Content_Creator|Firstname Lastname}} |-
Can anyone tell me what's wrong? I thought I was copying the format correctly. EllePollack 03:02, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
On the table, you aren't putting the userboxes in any cell, you need a pipe character (|) before each userbox, put this on the page

How about a box for people who don't like Vista? Maybe "This user refuses to upgrade to Vista" Or "this user dislikes Windows Vista" -- Simpsons fan 66 03:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
You know I hope we're not going to turn Stalinist over the format of userboxes. I've already had someone change one of mine, and it made zero difference. They just couldn't live with the way it was. This is an open environment, some consistency is good but OCDing over it is wrong.-- THE FOUNDERS INTENT TALK 03:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
Ok, then my apologies, it appeared to me that a whole page of boxes was changed. The tone of the message about formatting seemed to implay that all userboxes must be done exactly the same as far as the coding appears.-- THE FOUNDERS INTENT TALK 12:56, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
I recently noticed that this article has a serious formating error or errors in its layout that causes the bottom 10% or so of the page to not display correctly at all. I have traced the introduction of the error to the Revision as of 05:29, 29 November 2007. Before that time the old versions of the page display the bottom correctly and since that edit they do not. I have tried troubleshooting the page to discover what the error is and correct it, but I have not been able to figure it out. Reverting the page to that point would eliminate a lot of useful work that has been done since that point. Can someone more knowledgeable than I am on formatting errors have a look and see if they can correct this problem? - Ahunt ( talk) 20:36, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
As tagged it has been suggest that this project page be split into shorter articles. Given the info above in Problems with this page formatting seem to be related to the length and number of templates in the article some quick action to restore this page seems warranted. Every time someone adds a new user box in the upper part of the page, another user box drops off the bottom into a "disformated" state. It would seem logical to split off the software section from the rest, including the following sections: 8 Software, 9 P2P File Sharing Clients, 10 Browsers, 11 Operating systems, 12 Other Microsoft Products, 13 Text editors. Does anyone have any objections? - Ahunt ( talk) 11:40, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I noticed that when I added a new Userbox today that the page was fairly long. I also noticed when I looked at the separate Software page that there seems to be a lot of similar sections on both pages.
Examples -
Some Userboxes appear on both pages. Example -
When adding my new Windows Live Mail infobox today, I didn't even realise that there was a similar section on a separate page until afterwards.
Rather than have to look at each page to find a suitable Userbox, I was wondering whether one or all of these similar sections should have their own page e.g. move all the Messaging items to a separate Messaging page.
This would have the benefit of making this page AND the Software page shorter, as well as making Userboxes easier to find.
I would be interested to know what other editors feel about this. Ozzieboy ( talk) 20:30, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
