message: I have been preforming edits on the Southland Conference and the timeline continues to have an error message that says something to the effect of Invalid Image map created by easy timeline. It still displays the timeline though. I have copied entire timelines from other pages but nothing seems to work. Can someone help with this problem? ThomasHorn7 (talk) 15:12, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Hi.
I've been trying to create color mixtures using hsv syntax as the help page indicated but I am told that HSB is supported instead. Unfortunately, I had no luck with HSB either. Every combination that I test results in black.

message: On this article , the legend is cropped on the right - the "n" in "Percussion" is cut in half, and "Studio releases" becomes "Studio rele". I can fix this by changing "columns:4" to "3", but it would be better if it would be fixed in the feature itself. Could somebody do that? Bonomont (talk) 18:32, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

message: I understand from the EasyTimeline documentation that any non-default font must be available on the server. In the case of Wikipedia, how do I find out what alternative fonts are available? The default is just horrible: the letter spacing is all uneven. OTOH, this might be a problem with the font rendering, and not something that can be improved easily.

message: : bar
:defines the bar id. Other commands (notably PlotData) will expect this id for reference. This will also be the label to be shown along the axis, unless attribute text is present. The bar id should not contain any spaces: use underscores instead, these will be converted to spaces, as with article titles.
Oh no, they won't!
The underscores continue to show up as underscores. How long has this been a thing? TangoFett (talk) 19:07, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
