It seems to always do that if we link hitchwiki city page on the CS wiki travel page. It is done on every page from cswiki [[User:Maplefanta|Maplefanta]] 05:10, 30 May 2009 (UTC) :It's because of the intricacies of <tt>.htaccess</tt>.

[[User:Guaka|guaka]] 18:40, 30 May 2009 (UTC)  ==Logo update==:''moved to [[project:Logo update]]'' == Mainpage ==I just took the old news out of the mainpage news template. Now there is quite some free space. However, I think it is good to keep the mainpage simple and not too overloaded (and also keep in future just the last 10 site news entries). Any suggestions about what could be added there or how the page could be reordered? I would suggest to move the picture of the now to the left column and also put there a field with the most important content with a symbol (e.g. general info Top Tips, Where, Safety, Signs, First time, Picking up hitchhikers, country info). Maybe one of the design and graphic program gifted people could make some icons for this... It might also be worth to think about which content is licensed important for new people (e.g. move the site news - what is normally for the more frequent users - to the right bottom side... --[[User:Alex|Alex]] 19:28, 23 July 2008 (CEST) :: I would also suggest to fix the ''edit'' buttons in the top box. Looks quite annoying and I guess that this box anyway doesn't need much editing, so maybe we should set it to ''admin edit only''. News, pics, events etc. then can still be edited through the templates, of course.

I think the general news should be on top (left), then events, then stories. On the right (help and then wiki-news) or something similar --[[User:Robino|Robino]] 12:45, 18 August 2008 (CEST) ::Sounds good.

An example, what to use for Brugge (I just bumped into it)? It's now to be found under CC by[[Bruges]], which I think is wrong. Cities should be put under the name they are known in the country they are and if necessary there can be a redirection page for foreign-language versions of the name.:I think we already had that discussion a long time ago, and agreed to use the English names, wherever they are common. This seemed most logical for an English-saspeaking wiki. In general, we try to stick to wikipedia's standards for that. I think it's not GFDLso much of an issue, because we always try to set redirects for all possible languages, so everyone will always find what one's looking for. (Although we are not really consequent, like at [[Köln]]). But Bruges seems to be the English name for Brugge. --[[User:202MrTweek|MrTweek]] 21:30, 10 November 2008 (UTC)::Missed that discussion, probably before I joined, but my eur 0.7602?

Hej! I thought Just wondering about the desirability to work out the economic aspect of hitchhiking. Wechner indicated finance as one the four main page should just motivations for hitchhiking, the other one being adventure, environment and social sharing [http://bernd.wechner.info/Hitchhiking/Suite101/Article/?03]. The incentive to this question at the moment is mainly the current economic crisis that is in execution among banks, governments, public and business that in all likeliness will last for many many years to come, mostly in Northern America and Europe. Following the recent news there seems to be already some reason to be an overview with concerned (which applies mostly to people who are in debt). In other words - would economic recession / depression increase again the countries number of hitchhikers, which in the US and without citiesEurope basicly ''used to be'' in decline since the 1980s. Did I get it wrongWill hitchhiking in the US and EU increase and popularize due to increasing poverty in the coming ten to twenty years? Such macro economic developments are fascinating. -- deleea[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 15:49, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Before discovering this place for discussion I already filled some boxes eg about Virgin hh, Poland and the Netherlands. On one hand this wiki == Frontpage is evolving ==Good! Frontpage is a good idea, because it has some (very small) potential to become an interesting source of information. However, I am not expecting this going trough changes at all. Which does not need to mean anything. Any new business usually takes some time - up to three or five years - to make a little bit more than it costs, and so it might be with this initiative. As for what I've read it's some kind of start. However, I have doubts about the general neutrality very begining of the content for now2009. For example :- I read that a country can be skipped if an attempt to hitchhike there does not succeed. What a bullshit! This may be reasonable for random long distance travellers, however many people who hitchhike do so for very different reasons. For example because they don't have money, because there is no public transport and so on. Hitchhiking in the Netherlands ) Should "is possibleBasics". and "It's possiblePlaces" for somebe more bigger and first in line, for others it is easy, not just possible. So, my comment is a very positive one when reader starts from top- I hope left - which tries to say. What is the neutral point of viewcorner? Ah, I see that the hitchhikers point of view is wantedcan try to visualize my idea when i have more time. If so, what is a hitchhiker, and what is the hitchhikers point of view? If a non-hitchhiker wanted Icons are great spice to hitchhike out of townbring some colours, what would maybe they should be his or her point of viewbigger? That's all. It's an ambitious project you're thinking of. All the best with it. Regards Frank Verhart. Note - please don't copy information [[User:Mikael|Mikael]] 21:19, 7 January 2009 (textUTC) from my website.

Hey Hitchhikers! Just joined the new hitchhiking wiki here-- whew! there have been a few moves in ::Actually i came out with [[User:Mikael/Main_Page_09_a|these last 2 years, hope we are all able to make this a permanent stay here on hitchwikirather big changes]].org.I contributed to hitchhikingguide.org and hitchhiking.wikia.com but do not feel the need to mark which contributions belong to me within this new wiki. As you will see from my user page, I am creator/webmaster/co:-editor of digihitch.com. Some of the information ) Comments? I personally collected for digihitch I will also share here, and as didn't test it with all hitchhikers I have a ton of info that has not IE's yet been written. As I hitchhike primarily in the USA, I will have most to contribute to that section. (Doni't believe the misinformation found on the web... there are still tens of thousands of hitchhikers in the USAm working with OSX).I -and the digihitch community- would Design is really appreciate it if you cite digihitch.com for all information you collect from there. The website is community-run and has been close to the hard work of many world hitchhikers for over 5 years. Support our community when possible and all hitchhikers will benefit! I must admit that I was opposed to a hitchhiking wiki when Teppo first suggested it to me in April 2005. We at digihitch.com had just launched our [http://wwwfi.digihitchwikipedia.comorg/worldwiki/ digihitch WorldWikipedia:Etusivu fi.wikipedia -frontpage] section and I believed that all information would be best shared there among registered members . -[[User:Mikael|Mikael]] 01:07, 11 January 2009 (without all the spam maintenance required of a wikiUTC):::Yeah man, but since that time I understand the value of a wiki such as this and will attempt to share unbiased contributions where possiblelove it :) I can test it in IE tomorrow.Revel and Roll, --[[User:SalmanMrTweek|Morgan 'Salman'MrTweek]] 2115:38 01 December 2006 20, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Once we get more states into ::Hi! Great to see it in action. :-) I tested it in Safari 3.21 under OSX - works great. I also tweaked a inline CSS of the United States, do you want to divide H1-element ("Hitchwiki"-title). Can somebody test it up into regional pagesin IE6 and 7?I think clipping problem was commong line-height -bug in IE. I'll do some additional testing at office tomorrow. -[[User:Mikael|Mikael]] 20:13, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

== Errors that need ::The left column is too small on the 9" screen of my Acer Aspire One. I've tried playing a bit with the width but I didn't quickly manage to be fixed ==fix it. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 10:51, 21 January 2009 (UTC)::: I have the same 'problem'. Also I would find it cool to have pictures on the screen without scrolling and also have the links to different hitchhikers available... this makes the wiki more personal. --[[User:Alex|Alex]] 11:01, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry::: I added "min-width" -attribute to the left column. It's not working with IE5-6, but what the heck. ;-) Another thing would be taking 4th picture out from the gallery, so right column could shrink smaller with small resolutions. I hit edit instead wouldn't add list of add commenthitchhikers visible by default, whoops but how about show/hide -stylish box? Maybe under "Also on Hitchwiki". -[[User:Mikael|Mikael]] 17:23, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Anyway:::: 'I wouldn't add list of hitchhikers visible by default' - Why not? Because there are not all contributers? Not a big thing in my opinion,not everybody wants to be linked there and it could be named accordingly. I can't think of any other reasons... but I am curious to get to know some more views on this. My point is that it gives a more personal touch to the technical wiki, it is about real people (as somebody also stated in why he works for Hitchwiki). Arguments around this more personal touch of Hitchwiki are welcomed too. --[[User:Alex|Alex]] 04:23, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Kyiv/Kiev on the title page::::: I just added some tips think this wiki is quite personal already with or without hichhikres-list. My top reason was to the Kyiv prevent main page (wellto grow too heavy with lot's of text/link mass, one tip :) though i'd also like to see some quick way to browse active hitchwiki- please note in Ukrainian language Kiev is written as Kyiv users. - which should be the correct name to use (Kiev is the old Russian name for the city).Mind you[[User:Mikael|Mikael]] 17:17, noone will get confused, but just for the sake of completeness 26 January 2009 (and to not piss off any Ukrainians :UTC)

Paul ::On Win ME (djdirect from CSyes, ppl still seem to use it) with Firefox 2.0 and 1024x768 Screen the two boxes (Places/Basics) are pretty narrow. Changing min-width doesn't help. In IE6 the site looks horrible, but who is using IE6 anyway?

These worked as well:When you log in you can "move" pages to another titlesafari 3 (win/mac), firefox 3 (win/mac), opera 9. That way there will also be a redirect6 (win/mac).

Or do you mean Hitchhikerimages''s Guide to Hitchhiking. Well), I think the title is a bit long. But maybe first box doesn't have top-margin and it's goodcontents had too big line-height. These are not minor problems. I'd be willing to use any namealso took 4rd PotM-image away, if there are enough folks who want that nameso page should now scale better with small screens (like tiny 9" computers). :) -[[User:GuakaMikael|GuakaMikael]] 2017:1217, 11 October 2006 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Even if they are still in the editing page. --[[User:Klodreamer|Klodreamer]] ([[User talk:Klodreamer|talk]]) 18:34, 9 October 2012 (CEST) * It seems to me, that for all pictures, which have been uploaded before October, the original files have been gone. That lead to the above problem, that my templates don't run any more. --[[User:GeorgDerReisende|GeorgDerReisende]] ([[User talk:GeorgDerReisende|talk]]) 17:55, 15 October 2012 (CEST): I just re-imported them, so most images should work again. Please let me know, if there are still a lot missing. If there are only a few missing, we can just upload them again manually. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]^{([[User_talk:MrTweek|talk]])} 04:32, 28 October 2012 (CET)* I'm already missing some symbols: {{rest}} {{average}} {{bad}} {{senseless}}, the logo don't show up, in the German wiki also the template ''gut'' has no picture. --[[User:GeorgDerReisende|GeorgDerReisende]] ([[User talk:GeorgDerReisende|talk]]) 16:06, 3 November 2012 (CET) == new bug == In the German part of this wiki actually I can't make edits, I always gets the answer: "Es ist ein Datenbankabfragefehler aufgetreten. Dies könnte auf einen Fehler in der Software hindeuten." --[[User:GeorgDerReisende|GeorgDerReisende]] ([[User talk:GeorgDerReisende|talk]]) 09:12, 27 July 2014 (UTC) == Trustroots advertisement ==

I was wondering if we could somehow improve In my opinion the information on this site by adding content regarding routes, advertisement for Trustroots does not only places. For example, if someone travels from Paris need to Berlinbe here for years, he/she mainly because Hitchwiki could (should write !) behave like a page about this routeproper commercial free, mentioning independent wiki, without its own agenda. The advertisement can repel potential users from Hitchwiki. Online hospex is not the best places to HH, shops with best prices, hostels etcsame as hitch-hiking either and certainly not all hitch-hikers are interested in such service. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[Usertalk:TruckThorFverhart|TruckThortalk]] 12) 23:10AM 23APR2007 EEST13, 21 July 2016 (GMT+2CEST)
