using PasswordReset
Hello i am using your password reset extention, which is working great, but when i include it in my LocalSettings.php my website font changes!! I saw in the extention properties that the extention was written for media wiki V1.10. I am now using it in version 1.7.1 without any php errors.

Do you perhaps know a solution? Kindly Regards, Ralph
 * Re-download the extension - you must have downloaded a bad version of one of the PHP files. (often caused by a UTF-8 BOM at the beginning of the file)

Extension:Icon & Paragraph tags
Howdy, I really hate to be a bother, but I was attempting to use your Icon Extension on my wiki for inline icons (for icons for file types to be specific). Unfortunately it kicks out   tags when it executes. I was wondering if there was any chance to stop this from happening? I realize its not your code (I've read the code) and it has something to do with how MW handles extensions. Unfortunately I don't understand enough about how extensions to work to fix this myself. Any words of advice (or bits of code) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. --ShakataGaNai 09:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Wrap it in a DIV tag - the P tag is comming from the parser trying to generate xhtml compliant code Tim Laqua talk 12:34, 8 January 2008 (UTC).
 * That worked most excellently. Thank you very much!!! --ShakataGaNai 19:03, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Extension:Icon & External links
Hi there, just wondering whether the Icon extension supports external links? Nas
 * I have qualms with adding external link capabilities as I can't restrict use of the tool to sysops only and we don't need random users linking images and confusing users - really, w/o justification, I can't see implementing external linking in this extension. 199.17.29.36 17:50, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Quick Question
Hey there Tim. I was just wondering if you ever do any paid side work? If so I have a couple of projects that involve mediawiki that shouldn't take too much time. Let me know and thank you. --Ajt 22:18, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Uh, yes :-) Its been almost a week now, still nothing.... --Swessels 06:35, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I've looked at the source code for my index page, and there is nothing in that showing the google code, so it seems asif the code is not "pasted" into every page. The extension is installed, when I look at the Special page: Version.--Swessels 08:42, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

How to configure Extension:GroupPortal?
Hi Tim, I think you have created a really useful extension. However, I am having trouble configuring it. How do I configure such a scenario: For anonymous users to view the normal main page For the rest of the users (including sysops) to view another user page.

I've tried this in MediaWiki:Groupportal
 * Main page

user|User Home

sysop|User Home

And my settings in LocalSettings.php are

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false; $wgWhitelistRead = array("Main Page", "Special:Userlogin", "Special:Userlogout");
 * 1) Disable reading by anonymous users
 * 1) But allow them to read e.g., these pages:

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createtalk'] = false;
 * 1) restrict anonymous users from editing any page

//allows registered users to read all pages $wgGroupPermissions['user']['read'] = true;

Would appreciate any help. Thks.
