'''[http://www.greasespot.net/ Greasemonkey]''' is an extension for the Firefox browser that makes it easy to run pieces of JavaScript code.

* Signature for each post
** Allows to have html in it. Maybe links for pictures and images.
* Count the number of posters and authors in a thread when in page similar to google search results. Show like reference statistic at top of thread. This will help when referencing external threads to show people it's valuable - see [http://www.useit.com/alertbox/980111.html information scents]
* Spoiler/Summary Tag
** Some sort of replacement for the spoiler/summary tag would be good as well. That is a way for someone to add lots of detail without overloading or boring people.

Which bot did I do? [[User:Azarethroy|Azarethroy]] 12:51, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
:Haha, oops! [[User:Azarethroy|Azarethroy]] 13:24, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

That's awesome. I've been toying with it. And I just noticed you installed VideoFlash -> [[Free Hugs Campaign]] :) [[User:Azarethroy|Azarethroy]] 22:48, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

== wiki emails ==

I'm not getting my confirmation email. Does the wiki have permission to send emails? --[[User:Metal.lunchbox|Metal.lunchbox]] 20:56, 20 October 2009 (UTC)--[[User:Metal.lunchbox|Metal.lunchbox]] 20:56, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

:Just quickly fixed something in my mail servers. Should be better now. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 08:50, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I cannot get confirmation email on my gmx adress neither, but for hotmail it works fine (I would rather get the emails at gmx...) --[[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] 22:09, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

:I requested an extra line in DNS (<tt>@ TXT v=spf1 a mx ~all</tt>) that might resolve this. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 22:25, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

:: I still never get confirmation email @gmx.com ... [[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] 01:17, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

::: The DNS update will take some time. I'm not doing the DNS myself, and even when it's updated it takes time to propagate... [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 01:18, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
:::: I've tried again today, and I still do not get emails @gmx.com [[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] 14:20, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

::::: Hmm, Roy is transferring the couchwiki.org domain to me so that we can change stuff more quickly. Still, it might be another problem, but I want to make sure the DNS is correct first. I'll keep you updated. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23:29, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

:::::: Sorry for the delay guys. I've just emailed Kasper re: transferring the domain to him, so he can make any changes himself. [[user:azarethroy|azarethroy]] (15:51, 10 November 2009 (UTC))

:The transfer came through. I added a field in the DNS that should fix this issue. Let me know if it's better now - or not. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 10:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
:: I still do not get emails at gmx.com :( [[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] 18:34, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

== blocking those anoying bots ? ==

Hey

as you've seen, from yesterday a nasty bot is "attacking" couchwiki. I "undo"ed as much as possible, but since this bot is changing his IP for each edit, should we block th IPs, he's using ?
[[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] 05:55, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

:It's possible to block thousands of IPs but I set up reCAPTCHA and no bot edits since then, I think it'll be adequate for now. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 10:46, 14 November 2009 (UTC)



== What's the go with copying from wikipedia ==

See community portal for question.

:[[Couchwiki:Community_Portal#Added_cheat_sheet_from_wikipedia_-_compatible_licence.3F|And for the answer]] :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 16:03, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

== OpenID not working for me - see community tech portal ==

See [[Couchwiki:Tech#Bugs_to_fix]]

I tried logging in with my Aol Open ID but it say's it's cancelled. I ticked all the boxes except email for the moment. Is there a problem? I also have a twitter/hotmail accounts. I'm not sure I want them all linked though..... --118.208.189.140 08:59, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

:Hmm, AOL's OpenID might not work properly with MediaWiki OpenID extension. I'll try upgrading to the latest version of the extension (some time) to see if that solves it. Right now I'm only sure that MyOpenID and the WordPress OpenID provider plugin work for me :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 01:35, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

:: Same person as above. Still not working. I suppse with the NY period you've been very busy. --[[Special:Contributions/118.208.187.106|118.208.187.106]] 03:05, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
