pac: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=11360 (doubt you'll read this anyway)

anyway, the original reason i'm editing this is to ask.

why is RSS disabled per default?

unless there's a good reason, can it be enabled? :)

[edit] Resolution

I would like to know if its possible to use 1024x768 resolution in Windows 2000. Thanks.

Should be no problem, but it depends on your Graphic Card. You also will need DirectX, which I believe is part of the Service Packs for Win200. -- Sulai 18:31, 9 Feb 2005 (CET)

Additional Note, DirectX is a custom user Download.. It doesn't come with the SPs. -- FCS

[edit] Feedback

Very interesting wiki site!... Thanx! --213.228.84.66 00:28, 16 Oct 2005 (CEST)

[edit] Multilanguage support

The OpenTTD lover's aren't all english speakers'. What about allow Mediawiki multilanguage option ? --195.83.97.33 13:54, 28 Oct 2005 (CEST)

Not going to happen i don`t think. people are not going to translate everything they write into 4 diffrent languages.(unless you are offering to)

As long as you give someone the capability, they'll do it for you. That's the beauty of a wiki :) --Ch'marr 02:35, 27 Nov 2005 (CET)

I would like to translate the wiki gradually in my spare time from English to German. But as long as there's no multilanguage option... bummer... ;o) --Clemi 11:53, 21 July 2008 (CEST)

[edit] Talk:Manual:Main Page

Any chance that talk for Manual:Main_Page will be fixed too? See my Village Pump post from last week. Zojj 00:28, 7 May 2007 (CEST)

[edit] New Main Page

Please have a look at New Main Page test and report problems, if you happen to stumble on any. I'm thinking the page is ready to be moved here, so it would be prudent to give it a couple of days of "intensive" eyeballing and if no problems are found, I suggest we put it online.

There is also a side-by-side version but personally I prefer the original.

Jupix 15:03, 7 May 2007 (CEST)

Seconded. The new page seems ready and I like its appearance. I see no reason to wait any longer to put in online. Last but not least I prefer the original one, too.

Sleepie 15:13, 7 May 2007 (CEST)

Right, I've moved the new main page over. Born Acorn 16:09, 7 May 2007 (CEST)

Brilliant, now I can't put that cool question mark icon in the support section. Can we please finally unprotect the main page? Jupix 16:41, 7 May 2007 (CEST)

Great. Thanks :) Sleepie 16:25, 7 May 2007 (CEST)

The Main Page won't be unprotected. You'd be surprised how many people (not bots) would vandalise it. Make any further changes to New Main Page test and give us a shout when it's done. Born Acorn 17:38, 7 May 2007 (CEST)

[edit] New Main Page #3

I've made another layout for the main page: User:Zojj/Simple_Main_Page. I like simple. =) Any comments? Zojj 06:32, 18 July 2007 (CEST)

Simple is nice, altough I don't like big fonts and saturated colors for background. I like current main page more, as it seems to be more clear, and user-friendly - especially newbie-friendly. 194.0.100.195 09:50, 18 July 2007 (CEST)

Thanks for feedback, I made the font smaller and the colors lighter. I think my page is much more user-friendly to new visitors. Zojj 00:48, 20 July 2007 (CEST)

[edit] + removal/content deletion vandals

The + removal vandals are very odd, but I have come across them at the OpenStreetMap wiki as well. There is not much that can be done about this, as even disabling unregistered edits doesn't stop them (OSM's wiki has this on). The vandal also removes some pages' content.

Example of page content removal at OSM Example of page removal here. Bruce98 18:54, 6 July 2007 (CEST)

Maybe we should get a bot that runs once an hour... server side would be best I think. Zojj 19:33, 6 July 2007 (CEST)

[edit] Whoops

I remember now why when I redid the manual I didn't upload a larger size to start with - the size isn't set on this page. Can someone with the correct permissions force-size the manual image to 64px? Mintra 17:28, 13 October 2007 (CEST)

[edit] Unprotect

Please unprotect this page, spam isn't an issue anymore. Bruce98 23:59, 13 October 2007 (CEST)

I guess the problem will come back if teh main-page gets unlocked. But take a look at New_Main_Page_test and see if you like the changes I made and then I or you ask someone in #openttd to just update the main-page. Zuu 10:19, 14 October 2007 (CEST)

I did, but no-one there has admin rights. Bruce98 18:46, 14 October 2007 (CEST)

Read the discussion 3 topics above this one. In other words, the main page will not be unprotected, and you can ask user:Born Acorn to sync the main page with New Main Page test. Jupix 01:57, 15 October 2007 (CEST)

[edit] Additional Link

Additional to the 32bpp original scale zoom link, please add the 32bpp full zoom Scale link in the set of links towards the bottom of the main page. Cheers. Ben 20:16, 29 May 2008 (CEST)

I've added this to the New Main Page test page. Just need an admin to sync it across now... Mintra 00:06, 29 June 2008 (CEST)

[edit] Unlock Roadmap

Or please update it at least :-) --84.56.160.142 22:26, 7 August 2008 (CEST)
