tiny improve for site:
- removed link from logo
- removed title links in table for OXP without information_url

While we are at that:
On my mobile the site is unnavigatable. The buttons on the left are completely hidden.
Would it be possible to make the whole site jump into vertical mode? It already happens with the right column that simply gets rendered below the center part. The navigation part could also go into the middle column if screen space does not permit side by side rendering.

I found this a tad too jargon-laden for unconstrained comprehension. And Saint Giles alone knows what happens when Google Translate lets rip on it!

Here is an alternative

Latest News...
OoliteStarter has been published. It makes installing or managing the hundreds of available Oolite expansions an adventure of it's own:

Downloads expansions (oxzs) from our new site https://oolite.space
Shows both needs and known conflicts of expansions
Records expansion sets for future use - or to share with other players!
Reload your saved game together with the unique mix of expansions you played it with

Others might be able to improve on this further

That version is definitely improved. It requires less words to say the same, I like it.

I would also like to get something like this on the expansions page:

Expansions are created by community members and are provided as-is, with no warranty or guarantee whatsoever, and are not endorsed or vetted by the Oolite development team. Please take the time to read the information about an expansion before installing it.

Again, open to tweaking this and improving it.

That is a great disclaimer and putting a good end to our discussion in the other thread.

Worth mentioning this forum for Expansion support, questions, and future requests as well.
We get too few visitors otherwise!
Use the bugs and conflicts in our favor to drive traffic!

Looking at the fact that the sites for forum and wiki still show the old icon and that we do not have admin access to change them,
I think of possibilities to wrap them.

@timer: Would it be possible to make them accessible through CloudFlare such that all requests are forwarded except for the site logos and icons?
Would a test be easy to commence?

If I understand the situation correctly, the wiki is under control and can be changed.

if you mean creating a CNAME DNS record, such as bb.oolite.space -> aegidian.org, then this will not work :(

well, we can try:
1) hack forum to take full control or get DB dump )
2) try to contact with aegidian
3) setup new BB (but again server ...)

Wiki:

It's on the Oolite main page on the wiki. Phkb updated it last month. The Wiki Main Page icons are all greyscale...

Where do you see it missing?

Hi!

I've added a disclaimer to the oxp page, please give me feedback - does it look ok?

PS DO NOT forget reload/clear browser cache Ctrl+F5 ! disclaimer must be in a white frame.

Looks good to me!

I see the old favicon.
That icon would become the icon on the browser tab, the browser window (top left) or the minimized window.

Cannot tell now. Navigation to OXPs not available on my smartphone.

I will try to solve this problem asap
PS if turn mobile horizontally - the navigation will most likely become visible.

Actually, no. Turning sideways doesn’t make the list appear. Same issue on my iPad, using both Safari and Firefox

Here is a hint how the favicon can be changed on the wiki:

Might it be better not to?

If I have several tabs up for the wiki, this BB and Oolite.space, there is often no way of distinguishing between the three of them. I can now finally distinguish between Oolite.space and the other two!

Personally speaking, it would be nice to also be able to distinguish between the wiki and this BB. Maybe a grey/black icon for the wiki (as on the wiki Main Page)?



These icons were all created by Murgh back in 2006!
