Re: That really long title which I can't even remember now
Hi Wildheart! Sure you can call me Insane. Heck, call me anything you want really, I don't mind XD I'm glad you found the videos useful, and just because I'm an admin doesn't mean I'm so busy I can't help anyone! I'm happy to answer any questions you have about GIMP, Pixlr, chararts in general, or anything else on the wiki! If you want to join Project Charart (or PCA as it is normally abbreviated) then just drop a message on the Talk Page and someone will add you in soon. Then you can reserve a cat (make sure no one else has it) and post it for approval :) And, on the topic of wanting one-on-one help, the Adopt A User Project is a great way to get an experienced user to help you, by 'mentoring' you in the ways of WWiki. In fact, I can be your mentor if you like, I just have to check with one of my apprentices to see if they're ready to become a warrior, so to speak XD insane  brick'd 01:29, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Insane

Become your apprentice?? Now I feel like a kit on her sixth moon..... REALLY EXCITED! :) That'd be cool, to say the least. Thanks for your advice and about GIMP.... how do you download it or install it or whatever?

=D

Wildheart7 01:33, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Cool, I'll add you officially once my other apprentice gets the message. Your first lesson: Reply to messages on the other person's talk page, same as the initial message you left (and you can put it in the same section, too, unless it's about a new topic). Don't feel bad about this at all, I did the exact same thing for a long time when i joined, and no one told me about it so I'm trying to save you from the same thing XD Anyways. To download GIMP, go here and just click the download link if you have Windows, if you have a mac click the little link that says "GIMP on Mac OS X" and download it from there. insane brick'd 01:38, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, GIMP's a totally secure program. And don't worry about being absent minded, trust me, I've dealt with a lot of users and you're already far from the worst ^^ insane  brick'd 01:56, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hm, that is odd. Well, I'm not much of a technical person, so if it won't download or open, the best advice I can give you is to use pixlr instead. It's an online image program that's like a simpler version of GIMP, basically. I prefer GIMP because it's a bit more powerful but pixlr is by all means a worthy substitute. I know my way around that as well so I can still give you tips. insane brick'd 02:12, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

That's cool. I hope your dad doesn't get mad at you. XD For info on making sigs, see this handy tutorial since I'm too lazy to type it out, and that's more detailed than I could tell you here anyways. insane brick'd 02:36, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

If that tutorial is a bit confusing for you, you could try using this template that helps you make a sig with little or no knowledge of codes :) Just follow the instructions on that page. insane  brick'd 11:40, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Ah. I think I can see what you messed up. Try using this code:

to get this: Just put that code into your sig box and it should work. insane brick'd 23:40, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Cool, and yeah, I already talked to her, and she agreed, so you're my apprentice officially now XD Cool, huh? insane brick'd 23:26, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, what would you like to learn? I'm up for anything. Charart, editing pages... you name it. insane brick'd 10:56, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Alright. To reserve a cat, you just add it to your row on the current Projects table on PCA's Project page. I'll add a row for you since it's tough to explain how, but when you want to reserve a cat, first make sure nobody else has it reserved, then find the row with your name on the table, and replace the "None" with the name of the character and the rank, and the "N/A" below that with the date you reserved it. insane brick'd 01:33, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Welcome
Hi Wildheart. :) I'm Bramble, one of the other administrators along with Insane, who I see you've already met. I hope you enjoy your time here, and you can feel free to ask me any questions that Insane may not be able to answer. And a tip; always remember to sign your message with four tildes, which will leave your signature and a timestamp. It's easier then to contact you through talk pages. Thanks! --Bram ble 03:09, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Stonetooth
Sorry but Stonetooth's Deputy image is already up for approval. I saw your message on the talk page and thought I'd tell you. Ashshadow. Warrior of StormClan  22:24, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

It should be on the page with the other current projects but it doesn't hurt to check the talk page too. A few people still try to change their current project before their current image(the one they have up for approval) is approved. Ashshadow. Warrior of StormClan  22:33, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

No that's not what I'm talking about. The way the Project works a current project is removed after two weeks. If someone has a certain image up for two weeks (it might take longer to notice) it's removed. If someone has that image up for approval and doesn't renew the date it might still be removed. It all depends on who is doing the removing. If they know it's up they may just renew the date. I'm saying that Stonetooth may have been removed before you reserved it because they(the remover) didn't know that it was up for approval. It happens sometimes. If you have any other questions about the project you can feel free to ask me. Ashshadow. Warrior of StormClan  22:49, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Wildheart!
Welcome to PCA!!!! Do you want to be my friend, and maybe I should tell you..

1. Next to your name in PCA, put the one you want to reserve. To check if someone else is doing it, put Ctrl+F and type the cat's name.

2. Like I said, pixlr and GIMP is good.

3. You can't approve pictures; you are a apprentice for now

4.If you don't fix your picture in a week, you get it declined.

5. If you get 4pics approved, you can be a warrior!

Good luck~!!^^ ≈Ivy -sδmδ≈  03:27, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Re:PCA
Okay. So go to the shorthaired female apprentice blank, then right click it and save it to your computer. Then, go to GIMP and go File>Open, and select the blank image. Then you can take it from there with my tutorials or anyone else's :) insane  brick'd 00:32, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Signature
Whenever you leave the four tildes, the timestamp appears in a textbox one space down from your signature. It shouldn't do that; it should go right alongside. Please make sure there is nothing in your signature box in your preferences besides this code:

ωiſdɦɛɑrŧ

Then test the full four tildes on your user page and let me know if the timestamp appears alongside or below the signature, and I'll try and figure out what's wrong. --Bram ble 01:04, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Wildheart... sorry for not replying quickly, I've been busy with end of the year stuff. The time was being put in a box simply from an extra space in the template, it should be fine now. You can use the template without getting the blue box now, or use the code Bramble gave you - it will supply the same result either way. insane brick'd 11:13, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Reservations are allowed to stay up for two weeks without you posting the charart, so you should be fine for a little longer. Besides, it's not an often enforced rule, and unless someone else actually wants to do Morningflower's apprentice pic then it should be fine. And people will understand that you have to be away for exams, it happens to everyone some time :) But if it happens while you have a charart up for approval, it's a good idea to post that you'll be away so that the pic won't get declined. insane  brick'd 17:46, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Well, if your charart is already up, you should leave a message in its section saying you will be away. If it's not, and you want to be sure that your reservation won't be taken down, you could possible post a message in the current projects table... saying that you will be away and post it when you get back. But put it in tags so it won't stretch the table much, if you do. insane brick'd 17:56, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Just do it like this: Message here and it will make it smaller, like this: Message here. insane brick'd 18:09, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Yup, that's it XD insane  brick'd 18:16, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Re;GIMP 2
Don't feel bad about 'falling down on your duties', I know you had to do your exams :) Anyways, to get the picture onto GIMP, first go to the PCA page, then click on the blank you want (for Morningflower it will be a shorthaired, female, apprentice blank). When you click on it a small box will pop up with the image, and click the small button in the lower right corner of that box to be taken to the image's page. Then, right-click the image there and select "save as..." to save it to your computer. Then, in GIMP, go to File>Open, and select the file for the blank image, and then the blank will load in GIMP. insane  brick'd 13:29, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm... you did file>open and nothing came up? Could you try taking a screenshot of what happened and showing it to me? insane brick'd 21:29, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

If you have a mac there is an application called 'grab' that takes screenshots. If you have a windows I think there is a button that says 'printscreen' or something that takes screenshots, not really sure because I don't have a windows. But you could google it. insane brick'd 21:36, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Upload it onto tinypic and then just give me the link, to save uploading a file to the wiki. insane brick'd 21:50, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

hmm. I think you're just really zoomed out, which is why you can't see it. Try using the Zoom tool (the one that looks like a magnifying glass) to zoom in and see if anything comes up. If that doesn't work maybe try opening another image in GIMP to see if it's a problem with that specific image or with GIMP. insane brick'd 23:36, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Hehe, glad I could help. (and I sometimes do that too...the song thing I mean) Just tell me if you have any more questions :) insane  brick'd 23:46, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
