Yup, that's it. I did the same thing here. I never noticed because I have a reply button for my own comments whether I make them to posts on LW proper or in my drafts.

This has now been fixed.

Comments now correctly follow the Post they belong to and you can reply to them :)

There is now a new wiki.

All the content from the wikia wiki has been migrated to the new wiki.

However the users can't be exported and hence weren't migrated. You may create an account at the new wiki with the same username as the wikia wiki and then you will have the same user page and all your contributions will match on your username.

For those that have been looking carefully you will have noticed the link to the new wiki next to the about link in the nav bar.

Enjoy :)

For those that have been keeping an eye on the new wiki you may have noticed a couple of things change recently.

First anonymous editing has been disabled, so you have to login to the wiki in order to contribute.

Second the URLs are in wikipedia style format, so articles can be accessed like http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Utilon instead of http://wiki.lesswrong.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Utilon (the second form still works of course)

Who is going to end up as an admin on the wiki? PeerInfinity and I have been most involved so far. For example, who should I bug to move this code into the corresponding page of the wiki?

Hi badger,

I see that you are BJR on the wikia wiki. I will send you a separate message.

As for the page you created on the wikia wiki after the migration was done, you can simply make the same edit to the new wiki and create it there. Since there are two wikis they can diverge (see my other message to you).

Hi badger,

What is your username on the wikia wiki?

Three issues:

First, as others have mentioned, posting to drafts seems to actually post the article publicly. Is that just how it shows for the individual user, causing it to appear in "new" only for them but not for anyone else, or is that a bug with LW?

Second, I set some text as bold in a posting, it displayed as bold in the article editor... But in the actual posting... it didn't.

Third: Google Chrome (the browser I'm currently using) has a built in spellcheck that seems to work in text entry boxes, including those for entering comments on LW. But in the article editor, it seems to not operate. I'm not sure if the problem is with Chrome or LW, but I thought I'd mention this issue at least.

  1. New shows all categories you can see including your drafts, others can't see your drafts. See the FAQ

  2. This is an issue specific to browsers that use WebKit, namely safari and chrome. Unfortunately we can't do anything about this, though it appears to be fixed in the latest WebKit (used by safari 4 beta)

  3. I made a change such that where possible the browser spell check will be on. Firefox and safari appear to work and provide support. IE6,7,8, chrome and opera don't.

Firefox 3.0.9, Windows XP Home Edition.

I don't cause it to happen, I just click on any link leading to Less Wrong (for example, a recent post in the sidebar, the logo on top, my red inbox icon). This generates the problem, but when I try the same thing again, the page loads fine. The only problem is having to click on each link twice with a popup in the middle to go anywhere. This happened occasionally before, but it's been getting worse in the past week and now happens ~90% of the time I click on a link here. It doesn't happen on any other website, including Reddit.

If you want I can give you a screenshot.

Thanks for the more detailed description. I've no doubt that it is rather annoying so lets see if we can try and stop this from happening.

This could be an issue on either the client or the server. It sounds like the content type which should be text/html and the content encoding which should be gzip is getting mismatched between the client and the server.

Whilst I have no doubt that this issue is occurring, I have not been able to replicate it on firefox 3.0.9 on windows or linux.

The server appears to be sending the correct headers.

Unless there are other people also experiencing this issue then I suspect it may be an issue with this specific installation of firefox.

I would like to suggest removing firefox and installing the latest version which is 3.0.10. This may be a bit annoying and you may have to customize firefox again but it's a good opportunity to upgrade and may resolve the issue.

If you do upgrade then please let me know how you go and whether you are still experiencing the issue.

Huh, it looks fine now. What I might have been doing was trying to edit the comments through the recent comments page and my own comments page– which I guess you can't do. Sorry.

Raised an issue to track this.

Appears that the edit is successful but sometimes pressing refresh will show the old text before the edit and hence it looks like the changes have been lost. In fact they are there and pressing refresh enough will show the new edited content.

When I click on links here, the first time my browser usually gives a popup saying that I am trying to open a file of type application/octet stream and asks me what program I want to use to download the file. The second time I try the same link it works fine.

I found some threads on the Firefox help forum about it, and they say the problem is with the server. Any way you can get this fixed? Is anyone else having this problem?

Comment author: dariusp 29 April 2009 12:36:29AM 0 points [-]

I'd like to try and replicate this.

Can you provide some more info so I can make it fail. What OS, version of Firefox? Which links? Recent posts on the sidebar or in one of the listing pages like promoted or new? Can you still cause this to happen and what are the steps you follow to do so?

Thanks :)

Inbox links!

Massive thanks to whoever coded in a link to my inbox just under my karma score. I haven't gotten a comment reply since this appeared, so I can't tell whether it gives notification -- would anyone care to test it?

Comment author: dariusp 27 April 2009 07:06:24AM 1 point [-]

It should work fine - I tested it heaps :)
