What thread title says

The wiki has now moved to our new server, and we've also upgraded to the latest version of DokuWiki (which caused some issues, the old template didn't work properly any longer).

Also, check out the new User Creations how-to

I hope you find the new colour scheme a tad better. Let us know if there are any issues after the move, one can never know if everything went completely alright.

cool, looks like the password thing is fixed also

Oh, yeah, maybe I should have mentioned that. It was only the main reason to initiate the move. D'oh.

My bad

hehe I like the new .CSS better; it is easier to find links. However, the font size for the CODE is a bit small, & my eyes are getting old. Could you please bump it up a notch or 2? [old link] cheers

Good now?

So there's a back up for the WIKI? Where do we find it? (Just to show almost nothing is free of ambiguity.)

Do we need the indent on heading levels? The width is kinda limited already and I'm reluctant to use heading levels is it keeps shifting right with each one.

Thanks Stefan! Side note: I have noticed that synthmaker.com/*... references are dead now.

For text, I prefer narrower columns; I do that to email now. For pictures, narrow may be bad, but perhaps the pictures will overflow to the left?

I thought you wrote that like "back-up" or "backup". But what do I know?

Anyway, I think the indent makes the articles easier to read, especially lengthier ones, but I can change it anyway if others also think they should be scrapped.

BTW, Firefox allows user-side CSS templates that can override a particular webpage's.

Since we got a bit more width it didn't break my old pages... I'm OK either way.

For ease of reading... how about a narrower column for text than for images?

Have you tried to throw in some CSS?

User side? I don't care what it looks like on my machine... If you mean within the WIKI pages themselves, then no. It never occurred to me to see if that would even work. (edit - doesn't work.)

I just noticed my 'Style Notes' are out of context. It was intended for the component reference section and not for the WIKI as a whole.

I could extend them... or 'we' could move them.

Well, if someone uploads a user-module, your style notes should be used, don't you think?

Hm, is the text column really too wide now? I guess I could try to figure out how to change it for just the text if that's needed
