Tc) Ok. Will do regarding the smilies. I'll also propose syntax to show it, such as the three I have already shared earlier in this post thread.


T-O I am unable to create a new page on the Wiki, so far as I can tell, so I just added YCP content to my profile. FAQ, if a basic YCP page can be created, simply titled YCP, then I can paste in the content I have already started.

About creating a page. Yeah, it's a bit awkward unfortunately. To create a page, you have to edit an existing page and add code for a link to where you want the new page to be.

For example, let's say you clicked Edit on the front Wiki page. Then you'd add something like this.

Code: Select all

[[wiki:user:pagenamehere|My page name]]
After you saved the change, you'd see a broken link in red. If you click that link, it will let you create a new page.

This topic does not exist yet
You've followed a link to a topic that doesn't exist yet. If permissions allow, you may create it by using the Create this page button.
I tried clicking on Show pagesource and received the following error:

Code: Select all

Sorry, you don't have enough rights to continue.

I checked all the permission settings on the Wiki, and they're good. You should be able to create a page.

It's possible that you were inactive for a long time, so your session timed out and you were automatically logged off. Then when you tried to create a new page, it looked like you didn't have permission because you'd been logged out. But without clicking the browser refresh button, you wouldn't know it.

When you click on a red link, you should get to a placeholder page that says the new page doesn't exist yet. You should also see a Create button. If all you see is Show pagesource, then something is wrong.

I did another minor update to the forum template today. You won't really notice anything unless you try to send a PM to someone. I changed the PM topic icons, which hadn't been updated from the defaults.

We just added one more new feature to the forum. Spoiler tags.

Since people are discussing Tron Uprising, it's probably a good idea to allow them to write their thoughts, without spoiling it for others who haven't seen the particular episode. Or for those who haven't even seen the show at all, yet.

The spoiler tags are simple to use. You just highlight the text you want hide, and click the new spoiler button. Then you can hide your text, like this. You either click and drag your mouse across the box to read the text, or you can simply click on the box and the text will appear.

Thanks for the info, TronFAQ!

Very cool feature! I saw it in use on your comments in the Uprising thread. I used the highlight feature.
