  • Made changes from previous edits more noticeable (strikethrough the changes)
  • Created a button to notate that the thread has a Wiki
  • Shows wiki on all pages, not just first
  • Made the entire bar clickable to expand/contract the Wiki
  • Made Wiki minimized by default starting from page 2 of a thread

I can't see the search bar on top or the recent posts. And replies link. Is that something to do with the changes or did I do sonething

There's a small button/arrow that hides it, click that and it'll reappear.

The wiki will now appear in tapatalk as the first post for the topic. It is incredibly buggy and I will try to enhance it when I get the time, but for now at least it is there...

Can someone who has tapatalk for iphone please try it and let me know if it works?

Thanks.

I'm starting to beleive that the wiki is nice in theory, but won't work in reality.
DDF's other wiki was never updated or touched, i'm afarind the same will happen here. Members just won't update the wkii and it'll fall by the wayside.

It was just introduced a few days ago...give it some time.  Maybe there wasnt any info to be added just yet.

There is a big difference between an inline wiki, and a separate site. I have a feeling it will take the path of the SD wikis. Slowly died down, until people started understanding it and utilizing it. Now almost all useful information in the thread is there.

Can't recall exactly, I think it was between 7-10 years ago. Back when you could order dozens of systems from a Dell price mistake, and not have a single one cancelled. Unfortunately, before the days I understood how much you could make off $100s of k spend :(

Oh man.  Those $750 off $1,499 coupons for the Inspiron 700m and then I'd get another $300+ taken off...
Those were the days folks!

Anyone want to start make wikis for the destination threads?
Seems like those are ripe for bullet points of the best places to go and where to eat.

Post if you do it and kol hakavod!
