Specifically, i'm using User:80.127.68.21 because i'm too lazy to login each time i want to edit something, and User:zeurandom for minor edits on uninteresting topics -- De Zeurkous (root@lichee.nichten.info), 09 28 22:21 UTC 2006

Signature Problem[edit]

I've created my own signature template User:de zeurkous/sig, which worked fine until I noticed that the time template is transcluded with the rest, resulting in the current time as the stamp instead of the inclusion time. After some research I decided to try using substitution, but that just included the time template, resulting in the same effect as transclusion. The 5 tidles have the same effect. Is there any way to escape the transclusion of the time template and substitute it instead in every instance?

The time gets added automatically at the end if you use the normal "Signature:" box in your preferences. —Centrxtalk • 20:36, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Yes, i know that, but as noted above i'm too lazy to log in each time i open an instance of Lynx (and that happens very frequently, what else do we have UNIX for? :^), so a template saves me a lot of time and keystrokes -- De Zeurkous.

Try using substitution with the 5 tildes, or using {{subst:time}}. Overall, you must substitute the top template in order for the time to be inserted and fixed. —Centrxtalk • 20:48, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I've tried that already, the only problem is that either the time gets substituted on the signature template or (when transcluding the signature template instead of substitution) the time changes along with the signature template. What I need is a way to insert {{subst:time}} to be parsed on substitution of the signature instead of being substituted right away -- De Zeurkous (root@lichee.nichten.info) 21:03, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Use ~~<includeonly>~~</includeonly>~ or {{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>time}} —Centrxtalk • 21:37, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

That didn't work, but when i manually substituted the time template (ie, used the individual components) and applied those tags, it did :^) Thanks! -- De Zeurkous (root@lichee.nichten.info), 09 28 22:29 UTC 2006

New message indicator[edit]

I've had some activity on the talk page of my puppet User:80.127.68.21, and now the "You have new messages" indicator won't disappear, even though I have viewed it a dozen times and replied to both new messages. A false warning is really annoying -- how do I shut it off manually? --De Zeurkous (zeurkous@zeurcomp.nichten.info), Sunday January 28 19:53 UTC 2007

There isn't a manual shut off, after viewing the page it should no longer appear. --pgk 19:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Hm, as if magic it just disappeared :X Is there a time delay or a cache in place or something similar? If not, this seems to be a bug... --De Zeurkous (zeurkous@zeurcomp.nichten.info), Sunday January 28 20:01 UTC 2007
