-- Payne 00:45, 2 Dec 2005 (EST) Something's f-ed up here. This page isn't displaying correctly. If I click on "edit", don't make any changes, then click on "preview", it looks good. But then I click on "save changes" and it reverts to the incorrect display, plus the change doesn't show up under "recent changes". Is this just me?

-- Payne 00:48, 2 Dec 2005 (EST) Now it displays correctly... Probably just a bad connection on my end tonight?

--Undule 03:35, 4 Dec 2005 (EST) I hadn't noticed this Dave, thought it's cause for offhand worry. We need to update the wiki code, to the newest version, and found ourselves in this new land. I should very much like to have you do this, frankly. That requires much more conversation. BTW, buggeronis is clearly a failed chefboyardee line, not this Godel bidness you pursue.

-- Payne 00:45, 5 Dec 2005 (EST) Yeah, I've realized that Buggeroni isn't going where I'm trying to take it. Damned if I didn't tug hard on that leash, though. Funny thing about chefboyardees: I've had this punchline (delivered by Dr. Joseph Peter Whiteman) to a forgotten joke (concerning the origins of the name "buggeroni") running through my head for about a week: "I don't know. I guess the faggot likes macaroni." I suspect Whiteman knows more than I on the subject. Regarding the upgrade, I would like to do it -- but I'm probably far too ignornant about web-site creation. I will look into what this entails and see if I can learn how, as it is something that I would like to do. Let's have more conversation on this.

-- Payne 00:53, 5 Dec 2005 (EST) Well, it appears that v.1.5.3 was just released yesterday (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download), though perhaps you knew this.

-- Payne 00:21, 3 Jan 2006 (EST) OK - this issue of the edits not showing up finally happened while I was sober. It seems that when templates are created/edited, pages with existing links to the templates aren't properly showing the edits -- at least not in a timely fashion. I edited the template on this page over an hour ago, for example, but the edits aren't showing up yet. This also happened with some changes that I made to a template that's on the Main Page, but the changes did eventually show up. I expect the issue's a bit more global -- some sort of delay between certain edits and their widespread display. But, hell, I'm no longer sover (hic), so who knows. Hopefully the upgrade will correct this issue. Meanwhile, I just wanted to let you all know what going on in case you run into the same issue.

-- Payne 00:59, 3 Jan 2006 (EST) Yes, yes -- the edits to the template show up quite clearly now. Peculiar delay, that. Rather reminds me of a soft poo I once had. Most like those newly low-sloped speed bumps they keep putting in.
