User talk:Pb75

Hi! Welcome to the VDC. —Maven ^(talk) 10:15, 5 Nov 2005 (PST)

this guy looks like those 2 other spammers...watch em! lol—ts2do ^{(Talk | Template:E icon)} 10:30, 5 Nov 2005 (PST)

If I see 1px divs I'll worry. Until then, this user is doing good work. <smile> —Maven ^(talk) 11:14, 5 Nov 2005 (PST)

Thanks for the welcome. I am here to get info on localizing mods. I hope to be able to contribute once I have figured out why the Lost Coast update broke the tokenization of the scripts\titles.txt I did for MINERVA. The HEV communications stopped appearing after working splendidly. :-( I'd also like to translate some mod descriptions, but not without the permission of their dev teams. — --Pb75 07:46, 6 Nov 2005 (PST)

Bug sorted. Silly encoding issue. A D'oh! moment, if there is one. :-) --Pb75 02:25, 7 Nov 2005 (PST)

I hope that my edits to your user page are not objectionable. —Maven ^(talk) 15:33, 7 Nov 2005 (PST)

Please feel free to fix the bugs. <smile> I am new to editing wiki pages and still learning how to format the text and links, so your help and edits are most welcome. By the way, can you advise on the best course of action if I want to log the feedback I have regarding French Steam UI bugs? I could just add mine to the ones logged already under UIBugs#French, but I am concerned about overloading the page, as I have over 40 screens and the corresponding descriptions and suggested fixes. Would Localization_Issues#French or French_UI_bugs be acceptable? —Pb75 17:51, 7 Nov 2005 (PST)

Personally I don't think valve really cares to see your 40 screenshots—ts2do ^{(Talk | Template:E icon)} 18:02, 7 Nov 2005 (PST)

You might make a UIBugs/French subarticle, but I recommend against it. Instead, you might consider linking the screenshots with markup similar to *[[:Image:Steam FR backup 006.jpg]], producing:

• Image:Steam FR backup 006.jpg

which doesn't overload the page as much as the screenshot itself.

Forty screenshots is a bit much, by the way. Can you narrow it to a few, and describe the rest in brief text? Otherwise it's going to overwhelm whatever hapless Valve employee watches the UIBugs page. Too much information can be as much of a problem as too little. —Maven ^(talk) 18:37, 7 Nov 2005 (PST)

I agree with you, guys, and am very grateful for the tips. I'll cut down on the number of screens and reorganise the results of the QA.

Would User:Pb75/sandbox#French_Localization_Bugs be a good template ? —Pb75 07:58, 8 Nov 2005 (PST)

Does anyone watch UIBugs anymore?—ts2do ^{(Talk | Template:E icon)} 19:09, 7 Nov 2005 (PST)

Not sure. Checking with Greg if they actually need this kind of contribution. —Pb75 07:58, 8 Nov 2005 (PST)
