Random question
Awhile back (in your talk archive 1) I was bugging you about Max in The Game. Something else has come to my mind that I forgot to ask: when they learned that Max had to watch his family be killed, was it implied that this happened before Day 2, and therefore inspired him to attack America then? Or could the context have been more like the following: he was revealed after Day 2 and then his terrorist clients turned on him between Day 2 and The Game? If you can remember, thanks man. (I've got this old fanfic I'm trying to make believably air-tight when it comes to loose ends in the whole series plot of 24.) 00:16, January 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry dude, I really can't remember. I'll have a crack at making it to that mission again on the Game and try to write down word-for-word what is said, but I haven't played it in years. I've got a fanfic as well set between Day 3-4 that deals with the people from Day 2 who never got away... I wrote meticulously 12 or 13 hours of it then I haven't even opened the document in about a year. I really do need to get back to that... (as well as that other project I told you about!) -- SignorSimon (talk/contribs/email) 16:23, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Here's another rando: what's a good image source categ for File:CTUDay8FloorPlan.jpg and File:Day8CTULogo.jpg? 01:04, February 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Do we not have some kind of CTU images category? -- SignorSimon (talk/contribs/email) 03:14, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Nope but I meant a source categ, not a content categ. Where'd the images come from? Special features? 03:39, February 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh sorry I understand. Well it's from Carlos Barbosa :) I emailed him and asked him about the floor plan for use on the CTU New York building article and he had that drawn out that he was happy to give to me. So I don't really know what category that would fall under. -- SignorSimon (talk/contribs/email) 11:26, February 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Haha that figures! You're out of control man. At this rate I'll see a name tag on someone with your real name printed on it in a couple of episodes. (And I'll go with "special features" categ for those files.) Nice work bro! 15:25, February 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * If only! -- SignorSimon (talk/contribs/email)

Vandalism report
Right here. Regards,

 * Thanks man. It looks like Blue Rook dealt with it! -- SignorSimon (talk/contribs/email) 10:30, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

How Do You Make A Signature??? --Ianwwenhl10 18:48, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * You go into Preferences on the top bar. It's a section in there. -- SignorSimon (talk/contribs/email) 21:14, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

"Next" picture
Hey, I was wondering if you could link me where you found the Jack/Chloe photo you used for the Day 8 picture. I have the actual clock font and was thinking I might fool around with it. --Pyramidhead 19:44, 27 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Its just a random one that isn't really categorised into any season. I put it with Season 6 because it was around that time that I first saw it. It's only a very small image as well, I used it pretty much as big as possible. You can find it here - -- SignorSimon (talk/contribs/email) 09:17, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Owned!
This Owned! Award goes to admin SignorSimon! You took the time to finish the QOTD. It was a seemingly endless task, but now it's one less obstacle and the wiki is that much closer to having its "finite projects" completed. Thanks a bunch, man. (Also I had to invent another color for these barnstars you keep getting!) 21:52, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Fan Ficiton
Hey I was wondering if there is a fan fiction area here? If not is it possible to create? I would enjoy reading them as well as creating them.

Nvander 15:50, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * There isn't on this website, as this is just an encyclopaedia for all things 24. However there is a 24 fanfic website that I've put some of my work on, its at http://www.fanfic.net/24 -- SignorSimon (talk/contribs/email) 15:53, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Nightfall
Hey, Simon. I see you've uploaded most (if not, all) of the Nightfall pictures. I was wondering if you scanned those pictures from copies of the comics or if you downloaded them online. I'd like to make a subpage comparing character depictions and also read those comics myself. Thanks in advance.--Citizen91 21:46, 9 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I uploaded pictures scanned from the comics as I own them myself. -- SignorSimon (talk/contribs/email) 22:00, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome note.
Hi SignorSimon! Thanks for the welcome note. I love how complete Wiki 24 is. That's awesome! I work on Wikipedia frequently and have just started browsing around this Wikia project. I just left a post on the discussion page for Manual of Style. It concerns the use of past tense when writing in the in-universe style. Please take a look at the post and, if the topic is something you're interested in, leave a reply directly on that talk page. Cheers, Ask123 22:54, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Prison Break
I have read your user page and I saw about Prison Break. If you're a fan of the show, you can always come to the Prison Break Wikia. A little help from a Prison Break fan is always good. Think about it ;) But I don't know if you're a fan. --Station7 17:49, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Collapsible navboxes
Hey, I'm working on a (possible) replacement for the character appearances templates, but I need to add some things to Common.css and Common.js in order to test out the collapsible navbox template from Wikipedia. Would you be willing to stick these in? --Pyramidhead 04:22, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

In .js:

/** Collapsible tables ********************************************************* * *  Description: Allows tables to be collapsed, showing only the header. See *              NavFrame. * Maintainers: User:R. Koot */ var autoCollapse = 2; var collapseCaption = "hide"; var expandCaption = "show"; function collapseTable( tableIndex ) {    var Button = document.getElementById( "collapseButton" + tableIndex ); var Table = document.getElementById( "collapsibleTable" + tableIndex ); if ( !Table || !Button ) { return false; }    var Rows = Table.rows; if ( Button.firstChild.data == collapseCaption ) { for ( var i = 1; i < Rows.length; i++ ) { Rows[i].style.display = "none"; }        Button.firstChild.data = expandCaption; } else { for ( var i = 1; i < Rows.length; i++ ) { Rows[i].style.display = Rows[0].style.display; }        Button.firstChild.data = collapseCaption; } } function createCollapseButtons {    var tableIndex = 0; var NavigationBoxes = new Object; var Tables = document.getElementsByTagName( "table" ); for ( var i = 0; i < Tables.length; i++ ) { if ( hasClass( Tables[i], "collapsible" ) ) { /* only add button and increment count if there is a header row to work with */ var HeaderRow = Tables[i].getElementsByTagName( "tr" )[0]; if (!HeaderRow) continue; var Header = HeaderRow.getElementsByTagName( "th" )[0]; if (!Header) continue; NavigationBoxes[ tableIndex ] = Tables[i]; Tables[i].setAttribute( "id", "collapsibleTable" + tableIndex ); var Button    = document.createElement( "span" ); var ButtonLink = document.createElement( "a" ); var ButtonText = document.createTextNode( collapseCaption ); Button.style.styleFloat = "right"; Button.style.cssFloat = "right"; Button.style.fontWeight = "normal"; Button.style.textAlign = "right"; Button.style.width = "6em"; ButtonLink.style.color = Header.style.color; ButtonLink.setAttribute( "id", "collapseButton" + tableIndex ); ButtonLink.setAttribute( "href", "javascript:collapseTable(" + tableIndex + ");" ); ButtonLink.appendChild( ButtonText ); Button.appendChild( document.createTextNode( "[" ) ); Button.appendChild( ButtonLink ); Button.appendChild( document.createTextNode( "]" ) ); Header.insertBefore( Button, Header.childNodes[0] ); tableIndex++; }    }     for ( var i = 0;  i < tableIndex; i++ ) { if ( hasClass( NavigationBoxes[i], "collapsed" ) || ( tableIndex >= autoCollapse && hasClass( NavigationBoxes[i], "autocollapse" ) ) ) { collapseTable( i ); }    } } addOnloadHook( createCollapseButtons );

In .css:

/* default skin for navigation boxes */ table.navbox {           /* navbox container style */ border:1px inset #999; width:100%; margin:auto; clear:both; font-size:88%; text-align:center; padding:1px; } table.navbox + table.navbox { margin-top:-1px;       /* single pixel border between adjacent navboxes (doesn't work for IE6, but that's okay) */ } .navbox-title, .navbox-abovebelow, table.navbox th { text-align:center;     /* title and above/below styles */ padding-left:1em; padding-right:1em; } .navbox-group {          /* group style */ white-space:nowrap; text-align:right; font-weight:bold; padding-left:1em; padding-right:1em; } .navbox, .navbox-subgroup { background:#2a2a2a;    /* Background color */ } .navbox-list { border-color:#2a2a2a;  /* Must match background color */ } .navbox-title, table.navbox th { background:#333;    /* Level 1 color */ } .navbox-abovebelow, .navbox-group, .navbox-subgroup .navbox-title { background:#3f3f3f;    /* Level 2 color */ } .navbox-subgroup .navbox-group, .navbox-subgroup .navbox-abovebelow { background:#484848;    /* Level 3 color */ } .navbox-even { background:#262626;    /* Even row striping */ } .navbox-odd { background:transparent; /* Odd row striping */ } .collapseButton {        /* 'show'/'hide' buttons created dynamically by the        */ float: right;        /* CollapsibleTables javascript in MediaWiki:Common.js */ font-weight: normal; /* are styled here so they can be customised. */    text-align: right; width: auto; } .navbox .collapseButton { /* In navboxes, the show/hide button balances the vde links from */ width: 6em;          /* Template:Tnavbar, so they need to be the same width. */ }


 * Hey man, I've done it. It sounds like a great idea, I'm very interested to see the results! -- SignorSimon (talk/contribs/email) 10:36, March 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * One more thing to add to Common.js when you get the chance:

var hasClass = (function {    var reCache = {};    return function (element, className) {        return (reCache[className] ? reCache[className] : (reCache[className] = new RegExp("(?:\\s|^)" + className + "(?:\\s|$)"))).test(element.className);   }; });

--Pyramidhead 01:15, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, I changed some colors and other things in the css code above, so just paste that section over itself. --Pyramidhead 01:30, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Award
When you won a boxset at HMV for answering a question right, what was the question? 24 fan 4 life (1:19pm 30/March/2010)


 * They asked what was written on Tony's mug when he was supposedly "killed" during Day 5! Cubby to my rescue! -- SignorSimon (talk/contribs/email) 22:06, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Logo change
Hey, I don't know if you've been following my thread in the forum, but I was wondering if you could upload the transparent version of the logo there over the current one, and (if possible) weigh in on the new changes I proposed. Even if you disagree, the logo should still be changed; the corners can be seen even against the black background on almost all of the monitors I've used. Thanks! --Pyramidhead 00:27, April 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey dude, sorry I've been on holiday the last week that's why I haven't been around much. I'll get around to uploading the new logo in the next few days when I get a chance (unless Blue Rook does first). I'll go and respond to the thread now. -- SignorSimon (talk/contribs/email) 20:39, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
