== 'Is Seth MacFarlane Pulling the Plug on Family Guy?' ==
I know it's been a long time since I've been around. Most of you don't even know who I am. So I understand if you're uncomfortable with me going straight for the main page edits. Well I just made a few superficial changes in the interest of brevity, and I moved the Browse template closer to the top. Before, one of the first things an outsider would see is "JOIN US NAO." It could be offputting. Now we offer to explore our content first and see what's cool about it.

I noticed on the front page that in the news section, there's a headline about Seth possibly pulling the plug on Family Guy and its source is "ilykefunny." This report is false as it copies its information from Empire News, which is a satirical news site. The first source shouldn't be reputable at all, let alone a worthy news source. Empire News is believable, but it's just satire. The only pulling that was involved here were legs being pulled.
   
:looks good overall. About the "about us" section. Maybe it needs more text or different spacing cause it looks a bit awkward with only a few lines of text and a bigger picture.

:::Welcome back. I agree about the "About Us" padding being a problem. That's what I was unsure of. The others I removed because the home page link was redundant, and I thought the emphasis should first be about content, then allowing a natural ease into the community part (thus the member list removed and about us moved).

:::I made a small edit, and it looks good on my screen, but I've got big resolution and widescreen. In a smaller window things start to get bunched. I think one thing we should do is do away with those big images. Back in the day they were made strictly to match the wiki logo. I don't think that is very practical. I propose replacing them with text for the time being. In time we can think of a more elaborate structure for the front page, or something as simple as using the FG font for the links. --[[User:Milkmanjb|The Milkman]]·<small>[[User_talk:Milkmanjb|talk]]</small> 20:34, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

it looks fine on my monitor currently. I think the images work nice and give the page a personal touch instead of just text. Although maybe they can be resized/reshaped to make it more appealing. [[User:Grande13|Grande13]] 20:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

== Header too wide ==
 
 
Hi there. Remember me? I was the guy who did the original main page redesign in March. I see there's been some rearrangeing, and when viewed in 1024 by 768 resolution (the most common resolution today), the header is too wide and is covered partially by the advertisement. Just letting you guys know. Thanks.

== Embeded Clips of ''Family Guy'' Via Adult Swim Video ==
 
Would you like to have embeded video clips from adultswim.com? They have [http://www.adultswim.com/video/index.html?section=Comedy&collectionID=8a25c3920eaf5fa6010eaffb99c438bf tons of clips] from ''FM'' episodes as well as some montages. A friend of mine wrote a mediawiki extension based on the embed code given on as.com, and I have clips of Robot Chicken embeded throughout [[w:c:robotchicken|The Robot Chicken Wiki]]. It would be a simple matter to enable the extension on this wiki. For the embed, I use a template named [http://robotchicken.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Watch <nowiki>{{watch}}</nowiki>], for which you add the 41 character string from the end of the link on each clip's respective page on AS Video as a parameter. Alternatively, you can call a video with the name of page which has a <nowiki>{{{watch}}}</nowiki> field defined. What do you think? -[[User:TDK|TDK]] 15:12, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
 
 
AS is fine if you can embed the clips. --[[User:Buckimion|Buckimion]] 16:55, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Anyone know where I could find a video of this scene?: Peter - "Lois, I tried finding my creative talent just like you said. First I tried art..." (flashback) "Am, am I supposed to paint the penis?"

The episode is 'The King Is Dead' from season 2. Unfortunately, none of the authorized sites (or youtube for that matter) have that clip. We do not list or advise pirate sites. --[[User:Buckimion|Buckimion]] 00:29, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 
 
The Courtship of Stewie's Father's quotes error?
