On my browser (IE7), this template creates a message box with no right border. Is anyone else seeing this? JW 22:57, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

If I view it in IE, it appears that the box is too long for the central "column" in the Wikia page layout, so the right border gets cut off by the advertisements bar. (I also lose a word or two, depending on my window size.) I assume Derik can fix that. I could probably figure it out, but, it would take me a while to decipher the code. Derik hopefully remembers it well enough to adjust it quickly. --Steve-o 05:45, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk pages: odd recursion

The recent User:Leader-One's talkpage being nominated for deletion brought up a odd bug in... something. The wat the messagebox template links to a talk page is [[(page type) talk:page name]] e.x User talk:FortMax. This works fine because "User talk" is defined as the talk format for "User".

The problem is when a messagebox template is used on a talk page. "___ talk:" has no defined talk page heading, so the only way a talk page's talk page will show the talk page in the "article tab" is if the talk page's talk page is at [[Talk:_____ talk:________]]. This puts a link to [[_____ talk:______]] in the article tab. However, messagebox template in a talk page links to [[_______ talk talk:___________]], which shows up as an article with a talk page at [[Talk:______ talk talk:__________]] I set something up at User:FortMax/sandbox/Template:Tobedeletedtest

I have way too much time on my hands. --FortMax 18:41, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
