How to change the name?
A teacher got on our class machine and put her name in. I want a name all the students can share. Help?
Searchability in the Wiki
I have had trouble using the Wiki search tool. For instance I get no results going after 'forth', 'Forth', or 'FORTH', even though there are pages with that word in their title.
Collapsing Table Rows
I've tried some collapsing table rows in the Sandbox#Collapsing_Table_Rows, but they seem to all have duplicate toggle switches. --FGrose 21:58, 24 February 2008 (EST)
Search box in MonoBook skin
With the MonoBook skin the Google search field is not displayed; only the OLPC search field is available. --FGrose 00:04, 27 February 2008 (EST)
Wiki linked dates
The wiki date reformatting does not seem to be implemented:
- Use links for dates, so everyone can set their own display order. Use Special:Preferences to change your own date display setting. July 20, 1969 , 20 July 1969 and 1969-07-20 will all appear as 20 July 1969 if you set your date display preference to 1 January 2001. --FGrose 17:03, 13 March 2008 (EDT)
RE: connecting
OLPC
I just finally received my XO and am voraciously perusing the manual I printed out. I was able to activate a connection and go online, but when I wanted to try a different connection, after I disconnected, the Neighborhood was still visable, but it was all black and gray and white, not color, and when I hovered over the access points--which were all gray---they didn't respond. Hence, I just rebooted.
QUESTION: But is there a way to do this without rebooting?
Thank you for response. I'm just starting to use the "green machine". The children who receive these must be enjoying themselves with them.
Obo ps--I haven't even figured out where to read a response to my question if anyone sends a response!LOL
two column translation
Because people contributing are either Spanish or English speakers, and both are welcome as well as those who are bilingual, the best format for the page I need would be two-column, because the notion of original vs translation will be very fluid, and it will help everybody if both versions are visible at the same time. I don't know how to do it, or even if it can be done painlessly my page of concern is http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Bolivia
