Family photos
Hey, I noticed your "family photos" for Alexander Richards are all distorted because it looks like they were resized to 300x300 instead of cropped. You could revert them back to the original versions you uploaded and then specify the images be set as thumbnails at 300px like this: [[File:Nameofimage.jpg|thumb|left|300px|caption]] or [[File:Nameofimage.jpg|300px]] if you don't want the frame and caption.
Or if you could go back to the originals and recrop them. If you need help with either, let me know. –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman/MCpt. Kadosh 14:52, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
- I tried that last night and got frustrated because of the server update. I'll try the revert on the pictures and put the thumb in, may even shrink the all to 250px doing thatEns Alexander Richards 14:59, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
- All right. Just remember you'll have to give the server time to revert back to the old versions as well. I know it's a pain, but in the mean time, you can move on to edit other things as I always tend to do while I wait... or get something to eat. :) –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman/MCpt.

- Worked like a charm, cheers Rich. As an aside, finally wrapped my head around the age calculator so I'll be using that quite a bit :) Ens Alexander Richards 15:15, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
- No worries. Also, when you create new thumbnails or tell the wiki to display your image at a different size, you'll see the updated images automatically because the server creates new images for thumbnails, smaller versions, etc from the updated file. It's just that the full size file already on the server takes time to update. –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman/MCpt. Kadosh 15:16, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
- Glad you'll be using the age template! If you have any questions, just let me know, but the template page itself Template:Age has the full instructions. –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman/MCpt. Kadosh 15:18, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Formating
How do you want it to look? –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman/MCpt. Kadosh 18:20, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
- All right, I centered the tables using the align=center parameter. Also, many of your <center> tags were unnecessary because any text that is put in a table header (i.e., anything after a !) is automatically centered (and bolded actually now that I think of it...). You can read more about how to properly format table wiki markup here. –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman/MCpt. Kadosh 19:30, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Roster images
Hi Alex, it looks like a good start. The main problem is the cropping of the images, basically the same problem you had with Alex's family photos. Can you easily crop them? If not I can help you with that. –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 15:12, 9 January 2014 (CST)
All right. If you have any issues, let me know. You just need to crop them so they fit down into a 100x80 dimension. I've already taken care of Whale's. Also, remember to sign your messages with four ~ at the end. –Rich(talk page) aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman 15:32, 9 January 2014 (CST)
