User talk:Hoopy Froodle

Welcome!
May I extend my warmest welcomes and offer you any help you may need? Thanks for your contributions, mate!


 * ...First, you may want to check out our FAQ page.
 * ...There's a wealth of wiki documentation on the Help page, perhaps some of it may be of use to you.
 * ...Before you upload your screenshots, which we really appreciate, please read our file naming policy.
 * ...With the wiki's most recent update from version 1.17 to 1.19, we now have a section of buttons on the bottom of every edit page that should streamline and make template usage SOOO much easier... For some details about this, please see the help page for these buttons.
 * ...There's a really good Introduction over on Wikipedia also, it should help you figure out what's going on if your new to wikis in general.
 * ...Don't forget to change your user preferences.
 * ...We pride ourselves on providing the best and most accurate information possible and are happy to reward our editors with extra privileges for making that happen. The first step in the promotion ladder turns off the CAPTCHA edit tests and you can check out the details  Here.

If you need help with something above and beyond what the links above can provide...
 * ...Someone is most always available! You can drop me a message on my user talk page (which I watch like a hawk), grab my other contact info on my user page, or ask one of the other system operators.

Again, welcome to the wiki - and I can't thank you enough on behalf of the community for your help in making us the best DDO site around Zav 17:41, April 13, 2015

Do I really have to play 84 more Captcha games before you all are convinced I'm a human? It's easier than that to get a passport. :( Hoopy Frood (Contributions • Message) 16:52, July 21, 2015 (EDT)
 * Okay, 83 now. Hoopy Frood (Contributions • Message) 16:53, July 21, 2015 (EDT)

 * Not specifically, but your account is too new and doesn't yet have enough edits nor do you seem to have a medical condition or be a well known entity elsewhere. Put in a pull request for user group changes which was merged the other night but hasn't gone live yet that will actually make use of autoconfirmed and is currently set to 50 edits and 7 days. May lower that to 25 or even 20 edits, but not there yet. ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 17:07, July 21, 2015 (EDT)
 * The auto threshold is 50 now? Cool. Just 12 more to go. I've actually been a regular contributor to several wikis, but probably none that you've heard of. (I make only occasional edits on Wikipedia.) And I don't have any relevant medical conditions. But I'm definitely a human, I promise. Well, at the moment I'm a warforged, but you know what I mean.

Split personality
It appears I managed to create two copies of myself, this and User:Hoopy_Froodle. Is there a way to merge them? I actually like the name Hoopy Froodle better, although this identity has more contribution credits that I wouldn't want to lose.

 * Okay, I merged into  and then renamed  to .  Let me know if there is anything else you need. ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email ) 23:31, June 2, 2016 (EDT)
 * Fantastic! Thanks, ShoeMaker. Hoopy Froodle (Contribs • &uArr; top &uArr; • Email ) 08:33, June 3, 2016 (EDT)

Hi! I have a question, how come you have such a weird name? Titan201419 (Contribs • Message • Email ) 08:54, June 3, 2016 (EDT)
 * How come you don't? ;) The name Hoopy Frood comes from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The derivation Hoopy Froodle comes from my own quirkiness. Oh, look, the trilogy has a sixth book I didn't know about. Oh, but it's posthumous. Hoopy Froodle (Contribs • &uArr; top &uArr; • Email ) 09:14, June 3, 2016 (EDT)
 * wasn't the quip 'where's my towel' a dead giveaway? clicks on flashing thumb and disappears. :P-- Uurlock (Contribs • Message • Email ) 10:07, August 29, 2016 (EDT)
