It won't let me in for some reason.

My apologies, I'm a dumbarse. Capitalised the password incorrectly in my first post. It should be all lower case.

Try now?

Okay. I stayed in just long enough to invite myself via e-mail.

Ditto.

 

[TheEarl]

I've now thought about this sensibly enough to organise a new account just for me, so the admin one is open to all to invite themselves with.

So what happens now? Is this like a second forum?

Have you not seen wikis before? The idea is that we write amusing bits about the strange customs that occur on the AH and edit other people's, so that it becomes a repository of knowledge about the AH.

Edit to say: Anything in a red underline is something which the author feels should have a page of its own, but can't be arsed to add themself. Another user can set up the new page by clicking on the red link.

I'm familiar with Wikipedia, but not wikis.

Ah. The idea's very similar. You just upload and edit whatever you think is interesting. Other people will edit your stuff and eventually you end up with something that belongs to all of you that's pretty comprehensive and, in this case, hopefully quite amusing.

I'm still right now, but I guess I'll get used to the idea as time passes.

Anyone capable of explaining it better than me?

No, no. Your explanation was fine. I'm just more of a "visual" learner, that's all. I'll watch and see how it's done before trying it myself.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

We just set one up on one of my gaming forums. Very distracting. I mostly just cross reference all of the links and add little bits that old users can't be arsed to add themselves because they aren't around anymore.

Tee hee hee! I found a new toy!

I've just had a look and enjoyed The End of the World - I'm doing a lot of laughing tonight which is good.

And as for Svenska...I wouldn't dare

Thanks for starting this,

Who started the picture thread and didn't finish it?

 

[TheEarl]

Okay. Apparently it's got a size-limitation on it and it's now asking us to pay if we want to keep using it.

Anyone know of a wiki service that is actually free?

I'm not sure... maybe this one? Haven't tried it myself yet.

I'll bet the fact that I'm wiki-cheap doesn't matter .... <cough>

Basically, can't believe I just said "wiki-cheap".

K, and moving on. Don't know. I'll google-ish later, but I'm certain your skill in the google-sack are superior to mine.

Bastards.

Well said! <clapping>

 

[TheEarl]

No time to explore the options just now, but if anyone else wants to set up a new on a free wiki that's actually free, then that'd be shiny.
