Welcome to the wiki, Kerya! --Robkelk (talk) 12:10, 26 August 2014 (BST)

Fix for at least part of the current editing problem
If you haven't already, please turn on the "HHVM" beta feature. See here for how and why. --Robkelk (talk) 14:02, 23 September 2014 (BST)

This should go on a Hair page, but which one?
I found a goodie that isn't listed on the obvious Hair pages, but I'm not sure where it should go... Cookie Hair Mats - Universal Version

"Just a quick update to the Original Cookie Mats. These will allow the hair textures that come with Cookie to be used on the Koshini Hair Refits and on 3dZone's Hair props."

No point now - the site's gone and this wasn't captured in the Wayback Machine. --Robkelk (talk) 23:29, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Going for Hair Textures
I am going for Hair Textures ... there are Hair shaders and whatsits too.

Edit:

Another thing I am stumbling over - I don't know how to rename a category.

cr2 and hr2 conforming and prop hair - I want to rename to cr2, hr2 and duf conforming and prop hair

as there are some DazStudio hairs now too.

--Kerya 9 October 2014


 * We can't rename categories - we have to create a new category, change all the pointers to the old category, then delete the old category. (That's why it took so long to rename "Characters" to "Figures".) --Robkelk (talk) 13:10, 9 October 2014 (BST) OH! Renaming a page is easier. The line of options along the top of each page (View, Edit, and so on) includes a down-arrow - click on that, and select "Move". Then move the page from the old name to the new name. Make sure the option to leave a redirect is selected, so old links don't break. --Robkelk (talk) 13:13, 9 October 2014 (BST)

Yay! That worked! :) Thank you! --Kerya 10 Ocotober 2014

You should now have a new option when viewing a page's History
I've just given you "rollback" rights - this should let you revert a page to a previous version. We haven't had malicious spammers who replace existing pages with their text yet, but if we do, this lets you undo the damage with a couple of mouse clicks. --Robkelk (talk) 20:56, 17 November 2014 (GMT)

Thank you! Let's just hope it doesn't come to that ... --Kerya 18 November 2014

I trust you with this amount of power - you haven't gotten into any "edit wars" with anyone, so you know (or act like you know) how wikis are supposed to work. And it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. --Robkelk (talk) 14:47, 18 November 2014 (GMT)

We-eelll - as you can see from my formatting struggles, I have no wiki knowledge at all. But I am a peaceful being. :) --Kerya 19 November 2014

And that's the only reason I haven't offered to make you a full admin (with page-delete and user-block powers) - yet. I don't want to overload you! --Robkelk (talk) 12:13, 19 November 2014 (GMT)

Thank you! I can see the hard time you have to get rid of those spammers ... *insert eyeroll* Poor Rob! --Kerya 21 November 2014

Welcome Back!
I've set your user rights so you shouldn't see the CAPCHA again. You also have "undo" rights - the only person other than me with that, so far. --Robkelk (talk) 13:05, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you so much for doing all that work! --Kerya 21 September 2015

By the way: how do I turn the text for a figure blue when I created the page? --Kerya 21 September 2015

You have to edit the page to get it to accept a change elsewhere. Silly, I know, but that's how things work here. --Robkelk (talk) 01:44, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

I just changed your user rights
You don't need to use your new powers, but I feel more comfortable with somebody in addition to me having them. --Robkelk (talk) 13:24, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I sure hope I don't need them, but I am flattered! --Kerya 6 July 2016

Can you fill in the add-ons for this hairdo?
I have no idea which "bun hair" textures and refits apply to Free Bun Hair, other than the Maddie refit that I've already listed. This bun hairdo is the one with pearls, from The3dZone, for A3. Could you fill in the add-ons, please? --Robkelk (talk) 23:00, 29 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Only one texture I know of ... added! --Kerya 30 July 2016


 * That's one more than I knew of. Thanks! --Robkelk (talk) 15:15, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Why did you make the changes on Unimesh Female 3/Materials and Shaders?
Hello Kerya! Why did you make the changes on Unimesh Female 3/Materials and Shaders? The links that you removed still appear to be good, and the page doesn't include textures designed for A3. --Robkelk (talk) 12:18, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The only thing I did was add the "Or you can copy the SkinLeg material to the SkinKnee, SkinThigh and a SkinShin material zones manually in the Poser Material Room or in the DazStudio Surface tab." text, which was the wrong place to add it anyway. It applies to using other Gen3 textures on A3. I really don't know how the links got removed. Rolled back ... --Kerya 01 September 2016
 * Ah. I've had that sort of thing happen to me on other wikis - I think there's a bug in the wiki software itself somewhere. Thanks for setting it back. (I was somewhat worried that I had misunderstood something about the Generation 3 figures' UV maps.) --Robkelk (talk) 00:02, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing that typo
Kerya, thank you for fixing that spelling error in the page I made earlier this week.

If I make another mistake like that in the future, there's an easier way to fix it: click on "More" at the top of the page, then click on "Move" in the menu that pops up. You'll get a screen letting you rename the page. --Robkelk (talk) 14:37, 13 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that information! I couldn't find a way to fix the error in the pagename ... this helps! --Kerya 14 January 2017

PFDLives is closing
''I'm adding this to the Talk pages of all active users, including myself. Since my Talk page has become the de facto chat page for the wiki, please reply there.''

PFDLives has announced that they're most likely closing on August 1: http://pfdlives.com/pfd/index.php?topic=8235.0 - login required to view

Maybe, if they can get enough donations, they can remain open longer ... but the domain name is only registered until 2018.

This means all of the freebies on pfdlives.com will either be moving or disappearing. (Some of those freebies are listed here, but not all of them.)

Please, spread the word about this ... and help ensure that any freebie not behind a login is saved in the Wayback Machine.

--Robkelk (talk) 12:55, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

I just changed your rights again
I just gave you "bureaucrat" rights - that's the ability to give other people rights, or take them away. I'm not planning on disappearing, but I am planning a longer-than-usual vacation this summer...

You now have the ability to keep the wiki going if anything goes wrong, except for the wiki software itself. If you need help and I'm not around, User:Labster at Miraheze Meta might be able to help (at least to the extent of pointing you at the right person who can help); he's an on-line acquaintance of mine, so mention my name if you need to ask him for help. --Robkelk (talk) 13:07, 19 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I hope I don't need it! My Wiki knowledge is still wonky. Have fun on your vacation! --Kerya (talk) 21 April 2017

I hope this doesn't happen, but...
I've been in a discussion with the Miraheze administrators over on one of the other wikis hosted by Miraheze about their actions there, and the discussion is beginning to get heated. If I suddenly stop posting for a few days, send me an email - you still have my address, I hope - and ask whether my account has been globally locked by the Miraheze administrators. If my account does get locked, you'll be the only admin left here. --Robkelk (talk) 20:26, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Further information has been presented to me about this. We still disagree on the matter, but I am not currently at risk of having my account locked. False alarm... I hope. --Robkelk (talk) 13:14, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I hope everything works out peacefully! --Kerya (talk) 24 May 2017
 * So do I! At this point, I think we're past the shouting and into the stage where we start seeing each other's points of view. (fingers crossed) --Robkelk (talk) 11:15, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * And now I'm annoyed again. Please email me; this is something that affects the entire wiki, that I do not wish to discuss in a public forum. --Robkelk (talk) 12:43, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Problem ... I can't find your mail adress. I am sending you a PM at Daz3d --Kerya (talk) 25 May 2017

Just so you know...
Hi, Kerya! My vacation is keeping my time filled - I'll look in at the wiki, but not every day. --Robkelk (talk) 00:29, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm back... --Robkelk (talk) 21:44, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Welcome back! I hope you had a nice vacation! --Kerya (talk) 20 July 2017
 * Thanks! It was fun - I saw some places I had only seen in books previously, I caught up with some family and friends, and I took some photos that might or might not end up on background planes in future renders. --Robkelk (talk) 00:32, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

I got an email saying Antonia is available at Fantasy Attic
Could I trouble you to find Antonia's new download page at Fantasy Attic, please? I'm busy-busy for a few days. --Robkelk (talk) 01:58, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Found and added as fourth URL. :o) --Kerya (talk) 8 February 2018
 * Thanks! --Robkelk (talk) 17:05, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Do you recognize this braided twin-tail hairdo?
Hi, Kerya! The DAZ3D store suggested today that I might like Trefoil Eavan V4 Bundle (The store was right.) However, the bundle doesn't include the hairdo that Eavan is wearing in the main promo picture. I've been looking for waist-length braided twin-tails for a while... would you happen to recognize the hairdo, or be able to suggest an alternate for it? --Robkelk (talk) 17:53, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Looks like I am still quite good at recognizing hair: Autumn Winds Hair Have fun!
 * --Kerya (talk) 11 March 2018
 * Thanks, Kerya! --Robkelk (talk) 12:57, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

I just made a new page template, as an experiment
Hi Kerya! I just created a new-page template for characters for V4 by Syltermermaid. The next time you see a new V4 character from Syltermermaid, could you give it a try, please? --Robkelk (talk) 17:07, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
