How to enter
I have to wait around 17 hours before entering the game, how could i enter on probation?--Eddiealves 05:54, 4 March 2006 (PST)
 * If you have been banned, you could try emailing [mailto:banpleading@puzzlepirates.com banpleading@puzzlepirates.com], however if it just for 17 hours, you might as well wait. In the mean time you could read the article on Bans or the forum thread  --Icex05 14.15, 04 March 2006 (GMT)


 * Emailing will get you nowhere if it is a temp ban for a set amount of time. There is no such thing as being able to enter the game earlier than your temp ban allows.  Wait it out and contemplate your behaviour during that time. --Guppymomma 07:42, 4 March 2006 (PST)

PORTRAIT QUESTION
Does anyone know if you can take the frame off from a portrait without losing the picture?

Also if you have edited the picture to appear on your info panel can you then frame it and hang it up without it dissappearing from that panel?

--Robinson6 16:08, 6 March 2006 (PST)
 * When you frame a portrait, it can no longer be displayed on your info page. It is not possible to de-frame it one it has been framed. --Icex05 16:18, 6 March 2006 (PST)

 * You need to buy the Box edition of the game. --pevarnj (t/c) User Template 16:29, 9 March 2006 (PST)
 * Pevarnj is right; unless you have purchased the box edition, there is no need for a cd-key or anything of the sort: A subscription will do just fine. --Emufarmers 16:43, 9 March 2006 (PST)

Highlightable Crew/Flag pages
After editing numerous Crew and Flag pages on the wiki, when sourcing the Public Statement, I've found that sometimes I am able to highlight and copy it direct from the info page in the game, and other times I can't. Is there any other way to view or get a highlightable version of crew/flag pages - I remember seeing a webpage version of a crew page once... --Sagacious 13:16, 13 March 2006 (PST)


 * You'll probably have to do some random clicking on flags and alliances to find an individual crew, but here are the external webpages for the Dread Ringers crew: Midnight, Cobalt, Virdian, Sage, Ice. A good start, if the crew or flag has relatively high fame, might be the fame pages: Midnight, Cobalt, Viridian, Sage, Ice


 * Hunter's Fame page can be found at Hunter Matt 21:48, 13 September 2006 (PDT)

Creating Templates
Hoy i'm trying to create a infobox for users, similar to the "infobox Crew", i'm having problems for it to work, i've followed all the rules of editing and I even went to the edidting help page, but it still did'n tell me how to make one work.

this is my template (i've put on ignore wiki formating so you can what i type)

This is what it seams to come up as:

Please can you lend me a hand. Thanks Satin's son 13:56, 13 March 2006 (PST)


 * It's something to do with references etc. I've not tried to make a template yet, but I think I'll have a play. Basically the template page itself should have the table on it, with lots of tags. Then on the page you want the template to appear on, you put the code you pasted above this post, with each item referencing to one of the  tags. --Sagacious 13:50, 13 March 2006 (PST)


 * Check out the Meta wiki help on templates; it has some good beginning instructions for templates. --Yaten talk 14:26, 13 March 2006 (PST)


 * Sorry had to edit your first post Padi cause it was running my infobox script. I made a start and it looks like this:

Work in progress. Not sure what should else should be included. --Sagacious 16:18, 13 March 2006 (PST)

BTW could you delete my bad crew for crews info? I dont know how to delete it. A nd i dont konw how change naming of first level text.Help please

Very thanks

Marienvonbal


 * The best way to go about creating your own crew page is to look for another crew that already has a page, and click on the "Edit this page" tab. Then you will see the format that needs to be followed.  Just cut and paste the section which starts with the curly brackets and infobox and ends with the final closing curly brackets.  Then substitute the crew and pirate names there with the ones specific to your crew.  --Redbeardsage


 * That's correct, but with one clarification. Do not change the text of the existing page.  Create a new page with the name of your crew and paste the changed text into that page.  --Barrister 10:57, 20 March 2006 (PST)

My friends name got banned plz help
My friend's name got banned Is there any way he can get it back?


 * If they have been banned, you could try emailing [mailto:banpleading@puzzlepirates.com banpleading@puzzlepirates.com]. It really depends on why they were banned, as there must have been a reason for such action to be taken. Try reading the article on Bans or the forum thread for more information. If it was a less serious offense, they may have had their account temporarily suspended and will have to wait a certain period of time before they are allowed access to the game again. --Sagacious 16:43, 22 March 2006 (PST)


 * Note that only the person who was banned should email banpleading. Those who read it won't listen if somebody else emails on another's behalf. --Thunderbird 16:46, 22 March 2006 (PST)

HELP
i had been suspended for 1 day and now its been one day and it says this passage like spamming is rude and so on it said to write it out to be able to access the site again and i did and it wont let me
 * You'll need to type it exactly, correct spelling and punctuation count. If it still doesn't work, try putting two spaces after the periods. And uhm, follow the rules next time. :) --Zava 23:19, 27 March 2006 (PST)

How do I get my crew on multiple oceans?
I have noticed that several crews are on multiple oceans, Are these crews moving their pirates from ocean to ocean? If So, how do I do this? And I'm sorry if this is in the arcives. I couldn't get a result when searching. --Thepiratebob 04:33, 28 March 2006 (PST)
 * They may simply be different crews that coincidentally have the same name on a different ocean. They may be the same crew personnel, who have migrated over to another ocean for whatever reason.  There is no way to transfer crews or pirates over to another ocean.  They have to be manually re-started on each individiual one.  --Redbeardsage
