New layout available
Posted on 2011-05-09 22:47:28.0
A new wiki layout is available now. It looks different in comparison to the old fashioned Wikihost.org-layout. It gives your wiki a more blog-style look and feel and uses a few modern browser styling capabilities.
All wikis, that have no explicit layout set will be displayed with the new design. You still can select the other layout/colour combinations as before. The new one is simply called "modern".
I hope you like the new design.

Wikihost.org running smoothly now
Posted on 2011-01-11 19:27:50.0
During the last few weeks you might have experienced lag and unresponsiveness with wikihost.org. A fundamental bug in the underlying framework seemed to cause memory leaks which took the service down almosty on a daily basis.
A workaround now let's the service run smoothly and you should experience no more 503 Service temporarely unreachable pages.
Also a lot of minor and some major changes and fixes were applied during that time to bring the new version to a level similar to the old one. Here just a few keywords:
- Page revision comparisson and restore
- Membership request for closed wikis
- listing backlinks to pages
- Namespace support for wiki sections
- mobile version at m.wikihost.org
- different color schemes (more to come)
- etc..
In order to find out what else has been changed you should just use the system, either with your own wiki or by participating in some of those already existing.
There is still a lot to be re-implemented and even more new ideas to be brought to reality. If you have suggestions, critics or comments just
drop a message and help us to optimize wikihost.org to the users needs.
Thank all of you for your support.
