hobgoblincortman: go to one of the pages then settings12:22
cortmanuh huh12:23
hobgoblinthen preferences - set theme to something other than default - save and you'll probably need to reload the page after it refreshes12:23
cortmanok12:23
cortmanI had it at "light theme" to start with12:23
hobgoblinI had it on classic12:23
cortmanI'm changing it to classic lol12:24
hobgoblinpointless though as no-one will actually see it12:24
cortmanWow12:24
hobgoblinother than people no set to default12:24
cortmanSo should I pursue it with Matthew and friends?12:25
hobgoblinthey'll want someone to do the patch12:26
hobgoblinI think given that they are looking at sumo anyway at some point it'll be a waste of time - but that's up to you :)12:26
hobgoblinhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~lyz/uds-q/2-community-q-docteam12:26
cortmanOK12:27
cortmanIt's not a big deal I guess, just rather annoying12:27
hobgoblinyep12:27
cortmanAnd goodness knows how little time I have to pursue that right now anyway12:27
hobgoblinlol12:27
=== hobgoblin is now known as elfy
wildmanne39hey elfy19:28
elfyhi wildmanne3919:34
wildmanne39elfy, when you get time will you look at this wiki and see how it looks to you, it was difficult because it called for colors and and such that did not work so I have tried to do it without them. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MakeALiveCD/DVD/BootableFlashFromHarddiskInstall19:36
elfyI shall look right now :)19:37
wildmanne39okay thanks19:37
elfylooks great wildmanne39 :)19:43
elfyI see what you mean about the colour thing19:43
wildmanne39thanks for looking, I could get it to work in a line by itself but not in a sentence19:44
elfyyea - I think it is all about themes in wiki19:45
wildmanne39I have been trying to get this wiki done for more then a week but I did it a little at a time because of the issues, I was hoping they would get fixed19:45
elfythe default one doesn't work19:45
wildmanne39that is what they said19:45
wildmanne39I tahink they are working on it now19:46
wildmanne39think19:46
wildmanne39I am glad to be done with that one19:47
elfyI've been a bit fail lately I'm afraid19:48
wildmanne39it happens to all of us from time to time, I personally am going to stay away from wiki's for the next 2 days and enjoy a break19:53
cortmanI'm off-and-on too on this19:54
cortmanPlus running out of threads to wikify...19:54
elfygood - glad both of you are aware of burnout or - appears so :)19:55
elfycortman: yea - time to trawl again - especially now that posts are uneditable19:55
wildmanne39cortman, I could not even get bold text to work today while working with commands in the wiki, it would work outside of the command structure but not within19:55
cortmanyeah elfy I didn't quite get that?19:56
cortmanOriginal posts more than 24 hrs old can't be edited any more?19:57
cortmanwildmanne39, that is ridiculous...19:57
wildmanne39that is why I am taking a the next 2 days, I think the author could have written his guide better not use all the colors like he did19:57
wildmanne39cortman, in T&T?19:57
elfycortman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=34162119:57

elfyspam - create posts then come back later and edit in the spam19:58
cortmanWhoa19:59
elfywildmanne39: everywhere - after 24 hours (I think) only staff can edit posts20:00

cortmanUgh20:04

wildmanne39LOL20:05
* cortman kicks elfy20:05
cortman:P20:05
elfy:p20:05
bodhi_zazencortman: bodhi_zazenAnd there was much rejoicing - http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12058229&postcount=2720:05
cortmancrouaghtodhough20:06
bodhi_zazenThere are a few potential recruits in that thread for people who may be willing to help with wiki20:06
bodhi_zazenIf you could recruit one person a month ...20:06
bodhi_zazenone quality person ...20:06
* cortman mutters under his breath20:06
wildmanne39it is time to get rid of the sticky in desktop environment don't you think?20:07
elfybodhi_zazen: I doubt that anyone in that thread would be helping - unless they already are doing stuff - like QIII20:07
cortmanI'll do my own thread if that's what's required... but...20:08
elfywildmanne39: do you want it unstuck?20:09
* cortman kicks elfy again, in an overwrought sort of way20:09
wildmanne39if it needs to be it is ok20:09
wildmanne39it is already a wiki20:09
elfycortman: well it does mean anyone can add to the list :)20:10
elfyin a collaborative sort of way20:10
bodhi_zazenQIII FTW20:10
elfyyea -= breath of fresh air20:11
cortmanI'm cool with wikifying the thread- just a bit of a surprise.20:11
elfy:)20:11
cortmanObviously I'm for the wiki %10020:11
cortmanBut... whoosh20:11
cortmanI will say- a week is a much better idea than 24 hrs.20:12
bodhi_zazencortman: well, as you know, we are sort of headed in that direction, but, sometimes events tip the scales one way or another20:12
cortmanAnd for other people to be able to contribute, that's great20:12
cortmanto the resources thread in particular20:12
elfywildmanne39: - you could ask a friendly mod to edit the first post with the link to the wiki and close it - leave it stuck for the moment and watch the views?20:12
cortmanI guess bodhi_zazen20:12
wildmanne39that would be okay too elfy if you please?20:13
wildmanne39elfy, about to use his super ubuntu powers20:13
elfyis it the link that is already there wildmanne39 ?20:14
cortmanAnd a weed is a much better idea than a week, for some anyway.20:14
wildmanne39elfy, yes20:14
elfyk20:14
elfywildmanne39: Thread closed.20:16
elfyPlease ask support questions in the appropriate forum.20:16

wildmanne39yes sounds good thanks20:16
elfyk20:17
elfydone then wildmanne3920:18
wildmanne39thanks20:19
* elfy really needs to shut down threads that have been wikified and create dicussion threads for them 20:19
elfys/really needs to get on and/20:19
wildmanne39discussion threads will be normal threads right but where will they be located?20:21
cortmanOK, the resource thread is added to pages for import20:21
cortmanIt feels like selling my firstborn20:21
cortman:)20:21
wildmanne39LOL20:21
elfyha ha ha20:22
cortmanOn the plus side, I'll be able to get it into a proper grid form now.20:22
elfywildmanne39: discussion thread in tutes'n'tips - no support, support threads in normal forums - no discussion20:23
elfyoriginal thread closed with link to wiki and new discussion thread20:23
elfybodhi_zazen: that is how we envisage it ^^ is it not?20:23
bodhi_zazenYea20:24
bodhi_zazenT&T to discuss changes / updates to wiki20:24
bodhi_zazensupport has always gone to support sections, T&T has some sticky about support questions20:24
elfyyep - cool - when I do the new threads I will set up a nice greasemokey script to do most of it :)20:25
* bodhi_zazen writes a script to convert stickies to wikis (past present and future)20:25
elfyso they'll be exactly the same other than links20:25
* elfy writes script to convert electricity to smoke and we can all go home 20:26
wildmanne39LOL20:26
bodhi_zazenOh I have the hardware to do that elfy20:26
elfywas that you !!!20:26
