The Sandbox is a page where users can experiment with wiki editing. This page will be periodically wiped.

Duke33 Transcript Test

I was thinking of making some templates and re-doing the transcript pages, using the guys' images, rather than their initials. Maybe I'm just more of a visual person. Here's how the pages look today: RG Well starting now, if I'd have said this at the end it might have been ambiguous, but I said it at the beginning, there's two hours thats a whole show, so there's two more shows.
SM Two more shows including this one
RG Yes well obviously
SM So only one more show after this one?
RG Its only five past one.
SM After this show one more.


And, here's my proposal. thoughts?

Well starting now, if I'd have said this at the end it might have been ambiguous, but I said it at the beginning, there's two hours thats a whole show, so there's two more shows.
Two more shows including this one
Yes well obviously
So only one more show after this one?
Its only five past one.
After this show one more.

Chris's Opinion

I don't think its that good. It takes a little bit longer for me to work out who it is. But that might just be me being stupid. Good idea though.


Joe's Opinion

Interesting idea, but a bit distracting to look at - maybe need different images (same colour background? facing same way). Maybe we could have animated gifs for laughter?? JoeW

BTW

BTW, this is a great site!
