* '''Real names with For older talks please have a look at the pseudonym?''' Shall we add the real names to the scene-informations as we know it? Maybe it's very helpfull to add the real name to remember the persons. So in my case i will add "Kangaroo MusiQue (Thorsten Norman Mitschele). What do you think about that?

== Forum ==Today the [http:Well, absolutely, why not? //www.cpcwiki.eu/forum Forum] opened its gates. I mean, there's nothing stopping you doing so anyway, and in general a real name would be welcome indeed, to go with felt it was necessary because the pseudonymdiscussion system of the Wiki is not adequate... Maybe a photo too It is not meant to replace every talk page, but it's good for general discussion topics :) [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 09:06, 22 November 2006 (CET)
----== Sidebar links ==
'''Moving the search''' field There is a bit more to little problem with the top of pages linked only in the left menu will be nice, so its easier to search articles without scrolling aroundsidebar: they only appear on the default mediawiki theme. Hope you can do that PLEAAAASE ..There is a list here:-) [[Userspecial:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJTlonelypages]] 09Link them from somewhere else :36, 5 August 2006 (CEST)
:That would be nice - :Ah yes, you're right and I think have noticed it should be higher, too. The problem ismyself - though I don't know why anyone would use some other theme, I think this has to do with is the skinbest by far :D Anyhow, and I'm not yet as comfortable with customising itjust waiting to move servers, when this is done I'll look after such details... if someone knows how, please step forwardthanks for pointing out!!! [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 1610:4803, 5 August 28 July 2006 (CESTCDT)----
I think it would be nice to have a menu link to technical documentation and sourcecode (routine collection) on the left side::There is still 14 orphaned pages. You then can put articles like 'Hardware scrolling' in this categories..and i prefer using another theme because i use a browser without css support. .. And what is the difference between [[Applications]] and Utilities ?:::You are right, I will move the Utilities to the Apps and mark them to be deleted! --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 1510:1413, 3 July 11 August 2006 (CDTCEST)
: That's a really good idea - it would be nice to be able to post source code here.... --[[User:ChaRleyTroniC|ChaRleyTroniC]] 17:00, 3 July 2006 (CDT)== Search ==
As I still don´t understand why we have two search windows I repeat the question if we really need them both? ;-) --[[User: Indeed Villain|Villain]] 17:08, 28 August 2006 (CEST):Yup. The second one (the top one) was added when the sidebar was so tall that the lower search field was out of the screen. Now the sidebar is too short, but it's a nice ideawill probably grow again.... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 18:22, 28 August 2006 (CEST):: hey.. i'm just waiting for someone who tells me.. REMOVE THAT F*/&%NG second Search-Field and I thought about .. booom.. it upon looking at will be gone :-D [[User:Kangaroo|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJT]]:::Hey Kanga, REMOVE THAT F*/&%NG second search field! --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 21:04, 28 August 2006 (CEST)::::Don´t know if anybody else already told you but: REMOVE THAT F*/&%NG second Search-Field --[[User:Villain|Villain]] 21:09, 28 August 2006 (CEST)::::Ok, have noticed the source code provided over at Wink with the Zone. Will add a link when I get back from work Zaunpfahl :-) and i will do my job tomorrow, if i find time :- ):::::Ok, I removed it. Happy, y'all? :) [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 2220:00, 29 August 2006 (CEST):::::Ahh Gryzor did it :) So what? [[User:81.90.35.80|81.90.35.80]] 11:20, 3 July 24 September 2006 (CDTCEST)
----== Mainpage and Sidebar ==
Maybe its possible to make a list TBH I like Gryzors rollback of the sidebar, as all software-houses like Oceanthe important main links should be mentioned there to have fast access from every point inside CPCWiki. With an usual screen resolution you should see the complete main part of the sidebar, Alligata etcso I don't see any problem with its length. Where we can add some nice informations about those companies?
: You can actually add Regarding the main page, what's about redesigning it a link yourself. If you go into little bit in the way of most other Wikis like Wikipedia? The [[Games]] section you can add a link about [[Software Houses]] and start addingmain page shouldn't contain the complete site map. Maybe I will add it to like the sidebar as well :) style of Wikipedia much more. -- [[User:GryzorProdatron|GryzorProdatron]] 2216:3529, 3 July 29 August 2006 (CDTCEST)
:Well, I differ in my opinion with yours. I don't like a big sidebar and prefer a good main page which can bring me directly to the different stuff in the Wiki, because you have much more room there to give a good entry point. Btw, I only use 1024x768 and I so I see it till "Software-Programming" in the sidebar (ok, will change if I get a new notebook someday ;)). Anyway, I will join the majority =). ---[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 19:54, 29 August 2006 (CEST)
Why does :::"Software-Programming" is your last visible entry? 8-O Maybe you choosed a font size of 300% and installed the crap keep getting posted Google, Yahoo and MSN toolbars at the bottom of same time? ;-)) My last entry is "Editing help", well, with 1280x1024. Ok, the sidebar could be still optimized, maybe we can move "About - contribute" to the end (it should be also mentioned on the main start page) and remove "PD libraries" as an example (not so important for having an own entry point here IMHO)... bloody spammers! -- [[User:ExecutionerProdatron|ExecutionerProdatron]]20:26, 29 August 2006 (CEST)
:Indeed... ::: Here at work I have noticed your work (you always get to it faster than me!)use 2560x1024, and I really thank you for thatso there is no problem here. This is what you get for allowing posts without registering, but Maybe I think it's worth it continuing like this, at least for will use a while, smaller font size and see how it goes... Thanks so much! buy some glasses for my notebook ;-) --[[User:GryzorOctoate|GryzorOctoate]] 0210:1652, 22 July 30 August 2006 (CDTCEST)
----::The reason I rolled it back to a more expanded list (though I condensed the CPC models) is that, if it's not like that, then surely there's no reason in having a Sidebar? 8) Though I understand that on some resolutions (are you really on '''1024'''?? :D ) the entire SIdebar may not be visible, I think that removing it altogether is much worse than having one that doesn't show in its entirety!
Hi:: Concerning the main page, if I add now, it should not be the only launching page - the user should not need to get to the homepage in order to jump to a JPG with different category, hence the use of the Sidebar. On the other hand I find it '|thumb' command'much more useful''' as it is right now, than like it doesnwas before, though it can be improved somewhat - I't show on the page (e.gll agree with Prodatron in that it looks somewhat 'dry' right now. [[CPC Schneider International]]). What am I doing wrong? --[[User:OctoateGryzor|OctoateGryzor]] 0120:0205, 5 29 August 2006 (CEST)
:I also think, that the "thumb" feature is not working yet:: Oh come on. . wich BAST)(&" has modified the Sidebar again to that really useless and annoying list of unwanted links :-- D Why dont use the mainpage AND the SEARCH to find content, instead of adding things wild, unorganized and useless to the sidebar?? [[User:ProdatronKangaroo|ProdatronKangaroo MusiQue of HJT]] 0321:1849, 5 29 August 2006 (CEST)
: I'm having troubles with the permissions on the server. The Wiki needs the image folder to be chmod'ed to 777::: You and Octo have your mainpage, but some of the subfolders do not and Gryzor and me have full access yetour sidebar. I'm trying to chmod all of them, but how do I make sure that the newly created ones will be 777? Everyone is happy now :-P -- [[User:GryzorProdatron|GryzorProdatron]] 0821:3858, 5 29 August 2006 (CEST)
::if you need help or Shell::: =) -Access on the server to do chmod -r comands on dirs, just give me a call and i will set it up for you. [[User:KangarooOctoate|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJTOctoate]] 0910:2752, 5 30 August 2006 (CEST)
:::Problem solved indeed :) I think it´s useful to have some more things on the Sidebar than before. But now it´s too much... As Prodi already said PD libraries should be kicked out, also clones and some others too... --[[User:GryzorVillain|GryzorVillain]] 1621:3857, 5 29 August 2006 (CEST)
::::: Sounds good! ----[[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 21:58, 29 August 2006 (CEST)
I think ::::: It did it will be a good idea in this way and moved "contribute" to do localisation. So i can add or translate Pages into german, cause my english writing is not that good as needed for the wikiend. I'll do my best, but hey.. there are a few users around wich cannot write nor read english, so Is it will be a help for them. What do you think about localisationbetter now? Btw, how can I clear the cache? -- [[User:KangarooProdatron|Kangaroo MusiQue of HJTProdatron]] 0922:3104, 5 29 August 2006 (CEST)
: ::: The Bastard is me, I would be a little bit afraidguess. As I said, the reason for rolling it back is that this could split up our forcesunder the short form, as it there is a lot additional worksimply NO NEED for the sidebar. Maybe people would start writing only in their native languages. Better The sidebar is there for the reader to have an article in bad english (which can be corrected by other people) than able to navigate quickly to all parts of the wiki without having it only in a "local" language to go to the main page. It is NOT useless, certainly NOT unwanted (which canI use it all the time instead of the main page links) and I doubt it's annoying - the space is empty if you don't be read by other people)put links there, so it goes wasted. But thatThe Main Page is NOT the place to put links on and is much harder to use than the sidebar. Unorganized? I wouldn's just my opiniont think so - the structure is quite ok right now, if anyone can think of ways to improve it, please do step forward. It's not even wild, since it has been tamed a lot since its first appearance, and definitely not unorganized -- see the little boxes that organise it? :p [[User:ProdatronGryzor|ProdatronGryzor]] 1309:1249, 5 30 August 2006 (CEST)
:: I have the same opinion like Prodatron. It's much more work and both Wikis will be different. You can see an example for that situation on the [http://wiki.gp2x.org GP2X Wiki] and this device has a much bigger userbase. I guess the most common language should be used, so we should write greek.... aehm... english ;-). --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 15:57, 5 August 2006 (CEST)== New main page ==
: I think this was discussed beforeso free and reorganized the complete main page into the usual "wiki style".So the complete link list ("CPCWiki portal") has its own page now - we should improve this page, that nearly all articels can be found there directly or indirectly.Regarding the new main page maybe we can add even more sections like "article of the month" or something like this. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 02:40, 1 September 2006 (CEST) :Great. I'm not against content in other languageslike the new wikilike design. --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 09:58, but 1 September 2006 (CEST) ::I'm worried this will lead am pleased to lots of content being in Frenchhear that! We just need to take care about the up-to-dateness. As an example, German or Spanishevery one, hence for who is inserting a limited audiencenew entry in the news section should also update the main page. So I was thinking that maybe it should be allowed as long as an english translation is providedwould also like to suggest and add some guidelines, which describe, what and how to add entries to the different sections in the main page to prevent uncontrolled growth. In any case-- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 16:24, maybe we can allow it with 1 September 2006 (CEST) ::: I like the provision that this willnew layout as well, eventuallyit's meaningful and nicely put, be translated. But if we see that no translations are donealthough I think it can use a little cleaning over time :) I'm a bit confused as to how news etc works, then maybe though, it currently seems to be all over the place and it shouldn's difficult to maintain it for someone who doesn't continueknow exactly how... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 1620:3837, 5 August 1 September 2006 (CEST):: i dont think its clever to do it that way so it :: Regarding the news I will write a suggestion for the guidline how to insert new news. In general you have a headline, which have to be better placed to the news (max 10 entries), the news archive (unlimited) and the main page (max 3 entries). The headline is the article name where you write the news itself + links to the source and the category (month). -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 20:58, 1 September 2006 (CEST) == Main picture of the main page ==Gryzor, why have you modified the photo of the main page with the ancient one ? If this wiki is related to cpc, i guess it's not only english as the cpc 464 and the whole cpc range is concerned...Almost the 464 photo seemd truncated and overlayed by a line. Longshot --[[User:195.154.167.66|195.154.167.66]] 14:53, 23 November 2006 (CET) You have reverted modification without any answer about my contrib here about that...I won't to waste time to update this picture again. Gryzor, you're the main languagecontributor of this site but i think your method is not fair, especially on a site built mainly by contributors. --[[User:Longshot|Longshot]] 13:17, 24 November 2006 (CET) : Well. I reverted it to the problem also will beolder version because I assumed there is something wrong with the image, that 's all. For some reason the content will move away in "range" photo won't appear, and I tried it fromt wo different languagescomputers and different browsers. Can you try reuploading the image under a new filename and changing the main page? Also, so information will be vailable in german but are the 464 pic does appear fine for me - tried with Firefox, Opera, IE. As you can see it's not at a matter of being 'unfair' - it's a technical issue, despite the english page and so fact that I like the 464 one better :):PS try to remember to log in before doing any changes.... :) [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 19:36, 24 November 2006 (CET) ::Sorry for the misunderstanding. About the range photo it's strange because i've any problem with ie or firefox (my personal pc) or crazy browser onmy professional pc. dont This picture is a scan i'd modified in 2001 and coming from my site. I've compressed the picture with a newer version of image ready from 53kb to 29.2 kb and i try to upload it again under a new name. Please let me know how if the problem occurs again...--[[User:Longshot|Longshot]] 11:46, 26 November 2006 (CET) ::: It appears ok now, but I scaled the thumbnail down a bit because it can be handled was a big too big... thanks![[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 18:11, 26 November 2006 (CET) == CPC taking a day off == Is the CPC still in vacation? ;-) Maybe we could remove the picture, to have everything with make the same content info boxes below accessible in different languagesa better way again.
