===Duke33 Transcript Test===
|style="width:56%;color:#000"|
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.<BR/>
|-
'''SM''' Two more shows including this one <BR/>
|style="width:280px;text-align:center;white-space:nowrap;color:#000" |
'''RG''' Yes well obviously <BR/>
<div style="font-size:162%;border:none;margin: 0;padding:.1em;color:#000">Welcome to [[Wikipedia]],</div>
'''SM''' So only one more show after this one? <BR/>
<div style="top:+0.2em;font-size: 95%">the free encyclopedia that [[Wikipedia:Introduction|anyone&nbsp;can&nbsp;edit]].</div>
'''RG''' Its only five past one. <BR/>
<div id="articlecount" style="width:100%;text-align:center;font-size:85%;">[[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] articles in English</div>
'''SM''' After this show one more. <BR/>

I don't like it. The pictures aren't clear at that size and if the dialogue runs into a second line, there's a space that doesn't look good. Plus, print outs of the transcripts would look terrible, if not illegible. Sorry to be such a downer.

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.

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??  [[User:JoeW|JoeW]]
