I like the table format change, same information conveyed more concisely. 

As far as "Appeared in" goes, it would be helpful for writers of The Funding Crowd, and might be helpful to readers as well. Actually I'd like to see those review links put in for other tables as well, to help me track interesting games Munt already reviewed but I'm waiting for the release rather than having backed (e.g. Frontiers).

That reminds me, couple of wiki questions for Liam:

  • How does one rename a page? Do you really need to copy-paste the whole thing into another page and delete the first (messing up the page history) or is there a proper rename function like in Trac wiki?

  • Can normal users get permissions to create discussion section for a page? Sometimes it can be useful, e.g. for a template where you don't want to clutter the template itself with a suggestion that the sections be re-ordered

  • Clicking on discussion currently gives: "There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, or search the related logs, but you do not have permission to create this page."

Scaine, that's a great change thank you for that much more concise and just better I think great work!

Great to see people pick up work on it so Munt isn't so overwhelmed, really glad!

Ah, it did help -- it said to look for a move tab, so I found it under the little down arrow next to the other tabs.

The new pages Scaine and I created didn't include discussions.

I have enabled discussion pages for registered users, please notify me asap on any spam (although the new captcha has kept spam users out so far!).

Thanks!

Speaking of the captcha, Scaine mentioned elsewhere
Quoting: ScaineI can't get those PlayThru Captchas to show up on Chrome or Chromium - I have to use Firefox. Anyone else getting this? I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit

I generally use firefox, so haven't noticed a problem.

Captchas are working for me on Chromium in Incognito mode and in Firefox.  I haven't tried straight-up GChrome yet.  Also, I haven't used Ubuntu 13.04, at all.  The only Ubuntu I have is a dedicated gaming installation on 12.04 LTS.

Thanks guys. Firefox uses a different Adblock which doesn't block the captcha. The one I was using on Chromium does block it, but I've overridden it now. All good!

I recently changed the way Canadian dollars are displayed on the wiki: from the Indiegogo-style C$XXX to Kickstarter's $XXCAD. This way, they are correctly sorted by clicking the column header. I hope everyone's OK with it, but I'd still appreciate the opinion of some Canadian about it (Hamish? )

Additionally, as somebody suggested in The Funding Crowd private discussion, I was about to add a new column to the crowdfunding tables to note in which TFC issue a game was mentioned, either as a Biggie or a Hidden Gem. However, I'm hesitant about how to do it. Thing is, there's already a not-always-filled column at the end of the Ongoing table, so adding a new one after it might not be a good idea. A way to do it could be by combining these two columns into a new one, entitled 'Notes', or 'Additional Info'.
So what do you think? We could also put any piece of miscellaneous info into that column, like the now-oddly-placed remarks about a game being browser-based, or Flash-based, or whatever...

WTF?!? The [sup] tags work fine when writing the message, but they don't when it's posted. How come? Can it be fixed?
