SAKWiki -- New Software --

[ICanFixThat]

Hi, you may have noticed that SAKwiki is looking different. 

A few things broken:
There was updated software installed for the Wiki earlier today.  Unfortunately it has caused a few things to be broken, but I really like the clean white background.

Before fixing every issue, we are researching the best way to correct the issues.  Most issues right now I think have solutions, or alternates we can live with for a while, but just don't want to make a bunch of edits before we're convinced it is the right approach.

New Registrations Suspended
Sorry but I decided to turn off new registrations pending some review.  If you were one of the people who registered earlier today I'm sorry, but you'll have to re-do your registration at a later date.  You don't need to be registered to view almost all of the existing information.  You just miss out on a few things and the ability to see updates since your last visit ad a few other perks.

I popped on earlier and I agree the white backdrop does look good IMO
Thanks for the update Francis

Hi,

You can thank Grant, Estofan, and Micah for the update, I was not really involved in that.  It was not expected, but it's been needed for a while and it turned out now was a very good time to do it.

We're  all involved in fixing the glitches now so that things can return to normal, but it will take a little while.

I like the new logo (or if it's not new; I like the logo ); the white background also works well, too, very Tomo in simplicity.

It might be nice if we put a background back on the menus on the left and the right.

The other really nice thing is the backlinks actually work!! Finally this great feature is available!

OOOPS.... except they don't seem to be visible to everyone...  oh well cant have everything working right away.

I've enabled Backlinks, and Search for registered users.

Looking good in my opinion

Ooops... that of course would be Esteban doing some heavy lifting on the server, not ''Estofan'', don't know where I came up with that.  Maybe some mod on this forum will fix it up.  Still lots of small edit changes needed, but I'm trying to get the big picture before jumping too fast, and keeping an eye on the Hurrican... started getting some lightning here now in MA.

I like the new look. It reminds me of an SAK. Keep up the good work and let us know when we can sign up.

Looks good..

Good job guys!

I was a bit scared yesterday when I saw the Tiki installer page... a bit of a security risk if you ask me

Update: The Victorinox 111mm models have been fixed and should display correctly.

I really like the clean, white design!

I think it might be an idea to lose the Delmont photograph from the front page.  Its over 200KB.

I don't think it needs to be there; if if others disagree here's an optimised version of the same image as well as a reduced size version (reduced to the dimensions its actually displayed at).

Optimised version is 38KB and the small one only 5KB

Good idea, I've been meaning to remove that image for other reasons.  We lost the Vic image because it was not hosted on the wiki, but was hotlinked.  We've been slowly removing hotlinked images, even if they are linked to member's sites because it just makes every thing more reliable and easier to manage.

Update: 108mm and 100mm models are fixed.

Obviously the bulk of models to go yet, but hey checkout the new image viewer when you click on an image thumbnail in one of the gallaries.
