-I wanted to know how we can update all the Blizzard posters with the new forums. Also, there has been a massive update in what Blizz posters are called, etc. Please advise.

-:Feel free to start updating at [[Blizzard forum posters]]. Maybe you can keep a list here in this forum post of individual people pages that need to be updated after that. --[[Image:gengar orange 22x22.png]]&nbsp;[[User:Fandyllic|Fandyllic]] <small>([[User talk:Fandyllic|talk]] &middot; [[Special:Contributions/Fandyllic|contribs]])</small> 12:15 AM PST 19 Nov 2010
-::I should also add - the current way that Wowpedia has Blue posters listed is their old ID number on the old forums. Now, the URL is different. Is there going to be an overhaul in the coding so that we just need to insert their new forum ID so it links to their posts in the new forums? As of right now, I've been renaming things, but until the aforementioned gets changed/reprogrammed/etc. I can't fully update everyone.--[[User:Eiorwryn|Eiorwryn]] ([[User talk:Eiorwryn|talk]]) 09:51, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
-:::I'll look into that. It will probably be better just to make a new template. --[[Image:gengar orange 22x22.png]]&nbsp;[[User:Fandyllic|Fandyllic]] <small>([[User talk:Fandyllic|talk]] &middot; [[Special:Contributions/Fandyllic|contribs]])</small> 9:14 AM PST 19 Nov 2010
-::::I've got {{t|bfp2}} working for now.  It doesn't take an id, as thats not how the forum works anymore. Username IS case sensitive - ie datth vs Datth. [[User:Ressy|Ressy]] ([[User talk:Ressy|talk]]) 16:30, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
-:::::LOL I just made {{t|bnfp}} to do the same thing... oh well. --[[Image:gengar orange 22x22.png]]&nbsp;[[User:Fandyllic|Fandyllic]] <small>([[User talk:Fandyllic|talk]] &middot; [[Special:Contributions/Fandyllic|contribs]])</small> 9:38 AM PST 19 Nov 2010
-::::::Yours is better.  Add in another tag for Blizz icons (because not all Blizz posters have their own icon), and we'll use yours instead. [[User:Ressy|Ressy]] ([[User talk:Ressy|talk]]) 16:42, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
-::::::Added some more coding to yours as apparently player & MVP links are Name@Server vs Name for Blizzard posters.  Blizz should have stuck with poster id.  Would have been easier IMO. [[User:Ressy|Ressy]] ([[User talk:Ressy|talk]]) 19:11, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
-::::::I tinkered around a bit, it's just showing the B.net forum page. Was it supposed to do that?--[[User:Eiorwryn|Eiorwryn]] ([[User talk:Eiorwryn|talk]]) 20:08, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
-:The first link is linking to the user's posts, the 2nd is a link to battle.net forums.  That should probably be removed. [[User:Ressy|Ressy]] ([[User talk:Ressy|talk]]) 20:15, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
