[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1282070, member: 141969"] Hmm :unsure: In a previous life, I wrote various programming-related documents, but I coded the GML tags directly (used with "BookMaster") -- I never used a "wysiwyg" text editor. So I found using the Wiki system a bit of a culture shock. :eek: Also, I am currently still using my Windows XP laptop with an old version of Firefox (because this version is the last version of Firefox that runs on WinXP), and almost every time I have difficulty finding the "logout" button. It does not seem to be available on every panel, so I have to wander around various screens until I find it. (But I accept that this may be a consequence of using an old version of Firefox.) Also, I changed a page heading to make it more appropriate, only to find that it duplicated a page elsewhere in the Wiki, so I had to revert the title to its original value. This was a shock -- I would have expected that the page heading text was not related to the page file name, or to the page id used to store the page in a database (if that is where the pages are stored). It means that somewhat inappropriate, verbose, or inelegant headings have to be used merely to avoid duplications. Example: prefix every MP1 heading with the text "MP1: " prefix ecery MP2 heading with the text "MP2: ", and prefix every "TV Server" heading the text "TV Server: " (plus similar for the extensions and other tools). But this would look poor in the left side menu, where every heading would begin with this prefix text, and the meaningful part of the heading would be severely truncated by the limited width of the left side menu. Finally, when the Wiki was converted from the old software to the new, many of the links became garbled, but I suspect that this will be a large job to correct (every link would have to be reviewed manually, and corrected if necessary). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
