I'm not convinced that the middle "eye" button is actually taking me to the right post. The "Southampton still not working" being a case in point. I had not read any of it and I was taken to the first reply, not the first post. Another, and I was not paying too much attention till after the event, but I first unread post appeared with the top bit cut off - so might have taken me to the last post. I'll do some testing if my train stops bouncing around. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

Maybe there's some confusion in terminology - in the post above the test post, Peter was taking about the "eye" button.

Users can now add files to the Wiki. Sorry it's taken so long - it is more difficult than you'd imagine. While on the subject of Wikis, some have asked why not convert to MediaWiki or another flavour of the month. I don't consider any of the others to be universally better than DokuWiki so the idea of converting hundreds of pages to a different syntax all to gain some features and lose others doesn't appeal to me. The toughest part about Wikis is the lack of a definitive parsing set of rules: in other words, you get a sequence of tokens (words, symbols etc) and you could interpret it in more than one way, because the rules aren't specific enough. This is a known issue in all Wiki syntaxes that I've read. SimSig Boss Log in to reply The following users said thank you: BarryM, Steamer |

Would it be possible for the 'manage files' page to show files associated with sub-pages, as well as files associated with the page itself? There's currently no way to show a list of every file already uploaded. This is a particular problem with simulation images: a lot of them will be associated with the old usertrack:mans: and usertrack:sims namespaces, which are no longer in use. There's also no easy way to insert a picture into a document- if the file is in another namespace, you have to find the files location, and write out the link.

Geoff, Just a note. In my Shout Box, times of posting for my Time Zone only display for 2 seconds before reverting back to GMT. Is it possible to correct? Barry Barry, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Log in to reply |

Also on the below, deleting a message from the Outbox takes you back to the Inbox. It probably shouldn't.
