Don't understand this double-click business. Is it an IE-only feature?

Works for me (using mozilla).
You have to double-click a word btw.

oh no...oh.. i don't like this one bit

i double click stuff randomly as i read... not really sure why, but i do. this is seriously off-pissing. is there an off switch? =(

Yep, and I thought I was the only one. I get people moaning at me in work for double clicking the mouse every 2 seconds. its a good edition but there has to be some way of disabling it for us with this unfortunate habit.

*shrug* Opera just brings up its context menu. No loss.

Very annoying having random popups.

Good... I am not the only one doing that!
I like to highlight words with a double click... it is like ready on paper with a highlighter!!

Anyway this is a good idea, I hope it won't be too messy if anyone can add or edit entries.

i can understand the facility of double clicking words in existing posts - but can the input boxes (e.g. quick reply, reply etc.) be made wiki pop-up double-click free?

i frequently highlight words in input boxes by double clicking when editing and the pop-up is getting in the way... thanks

I added quite a few there. Check "reputation"

CuLT · 25-11-2004 02:33AM

I have failed to understand how to add things to the dictionary.

._.

All I have is a couple of things in "User Talk" now, and they don't show up on double-click

I tell you what I did

Edit an existing page by adding a link to what you want to add.

save the changes and then click on the link you just created

It will then say "you have clicked on an article that does not exist, would you like to create an article.

ihope you dont mind Cult but I created this page, you can see how to add links to the pages you want to create when you click the edit button.

hope that helps

CuLT · 25-11-2004 02:51AM

ah, noice one!

[edit] heh, I added about ten things.

sceptre · 25-11-2004 06:32AM

I just kept clicking and clicking and regardless of where I started I ended up here. Hint taken:D

Hobbes · 25-11-2004 10:16AM

When I double click anywhere on a page it automatically brings a popup of biki (Devore calls it that).

Is this a bug or intentional? Its a wee bit annoying.

aidan_walsh · 25-11-2004 10:22AM

From the original, introductory post:

Also, if you double click on any word in the forums, it should bring you to an appropriate wiki page (if it exists).

Have to agree with this - I could really do with some way to turn off the double click "feature".

Cloud · 25-11-2004 10:50AM

Okay, I've disabled it.

Replaced with a wiki BB code, just use {wiki}Muppet{/wiki} (replace curly brackets with square brackets), e.g.:

[wiki]Muppet[/wiki]

after reading this thread
it has become clear to me that I am not even slightly nerdy

someone please explain it to me at the pissup on saturday*

*before I start drinking!

DeVore · 25-11-2004 11:31AM

ah VB tags own! now we can link words like [wiki]Biki[/wiki] and [wiki]DeVore[/wiki] for noobs and I can still randomly double click things.

Much like McDonalds, I'm loving it!

Hobbes · 25-11-2004 11:42AM

Added [wiki]tinfoil axe[/wiki]. I also updated the [wiki]gathering cards[/wiki]. I do the backstories to the more intresting cards later.

Boro · 25-11-2004 12:08PM

Aha! [wiki]Boro[/wiki] - the information you all wanted to know but were afraid to ask!

seamus · 25-11-2004 01:14PM

Heh, anyone wanna copy the entire "How to" from wikipedia.org (although when I first read it, I was thoroughly confused, it's not very good at explaining)? Particularly, the use redirects

smoke.me.a.kipper · 25-11-2004 01:21PM

[wiki]smoke.me.a.kipper[/wiki]
[wiki]live @ 3[/wiki]

Evil Phil · 25-11-2004 01:36PM

Could we have the [wiki]wiki[/wiki] tags open in a new window Cloud? I keep closing the darn things out of habit.

pickarooney · 25-11-2004 01:44PM

I have no clue what this whole double-click popup thing is all about, but I gather it's been turned off now?

Cloud · 25-11-2004 01:45PM

Sure.

Added target=_blank to the link.

SantaHoe · 25-11-2004 01:57PM

Linked text looks subtle to the point where I wouldn't even notice if text had been {wiki}'d or {url}'ed... I'm using the blue theme and have link underlines on 'hover'... links hardly stand out at all against the black text.

Yes you did

and done.

Why do some people have usernames and others just have ip addresses in the history tab?
