They go here.

is there a way to open chat and keep the Forums open. In the past this allowed an individual to be in chat and brows the forum at the same time.

Terry

Right click -> open link in new window.

or, i can make the link do that for you. Either way.

Is there a way to show how many users are in chat?

Unfortunately, no. However, with this version it is infinitlely easier to just pop in and look.

I've got a couple questions, sorry if they're stupid, what happens if some douche bag registered logged in and deleted a page? Or is it that we can only add stuff and not delete stuff?

ok, so now say someone made a writeup, would they just upload the file to the site so when people browse the uploaded files they can find it or is there a specific place to put it? I assume the link to it should be placed in either the modifications or maintenance section accordingly, but those appear to just be links to a page that already exists, how would you go about actually making that page with the write-up, or should you just make a post and link to the post?



I will keep searching this newness to try and answer my own questions for now

Read the HTML Reference page. If you make a Wiki link to a page that doesn't exist, you can then edit the content on that page, creating an entirely new page.

We also have revision control and page locking capabilities. No one can "delete" a page. If a page is editted and a link removed, you can add the link back, the page will still be there. If an edit is made that blanks a page, we can roll that edit back. there's an Alert an Admin feature on every page if you see something like this.

You can also subscribe to pages, so that you recieve a notice when they change. You can do this from the "Change Content" form.

Damn, I'm such a computer boon! You guys will definitely end up hating me (If you don't already). Figured I'd try first with something simple. I took the link to my dyno chart and clicked it into the dyno area via the file upload button. Got nothing. Anyone want to approach this computer idiot's question of "how to"?

You're almost there, Mark!

If the image is already hosted online somewhere, all you need to do is paste the link between IMG tags (like you might on other forums like Tuners). If the image is on your computer at home or work, you will upload it into the wiki, but once you are done, that screen will display the link where the image was stored. That is the link you would use in your post.

Make sense? I just looked through all the hosted images and your dyno slip is not in there. Here's the Cliff's Notes:

1. Go to upload page.
2. Browse to the file you wish to upload.
3. Click the upload button.
4. Copy the URL on the screen after the upload completes.
5. Paste the URL into your article. Images will need IMG tags.

It shows the exact string, including img tags, that you'll need to use in a wiki page after you've uploaded the file.

I must say, I was hoping to see a Vendors section, on the Reviews page, and yet it seems to be one of the only places we can't edit content.

I pinned it for a little while till everyone gets the hang of it. I'll unpin it in a couple weeks or something.

Two questions. Anyone opposed to me just tossing the suggestion above on the page since I can edit it now, or is this something you guys want to keep in the good guys/bad guys section or just to general posts like I've seen on companies in the past? Personally I think if there are vendor reviews they need to be respectful regardless of the persons opinion good/bad since they are providing parts/services for our community.

And are all the original parts reviews lost, cause if so there are a few I can throw up there that I had with the old format? Just figured if they were still in existence, I wouldn't bother redoing them and would just copy/paste from wherever they're at.

No, they're not lost...

Check PMs.

Thanks Dino

We can't subscribe to new pages we create?

Sure you can. When your writing it there is a small check box under the window that you check. Worked for me, I updated my 3:55 writeup and got an email.
