Re: How Could We Improve Scioly.org?

Post by EastStroudsburg13 »

I am guessing you are talking mainly about the exchange on the wiki, as the exchange on scioly.org/tests does have that feature (and it has very quietly been updated with 2018 tests). As for the wiki, I think it may be possible to create some sort of mechanism to make links open in a new tab, but it would probably be a relatively major project, especially regarding internal links. That's not to say it's not worth playing around with, but it's not exactly a simple fix.

My personal recommendation is to either use a mouse with a central scrolling button, so that if you click on a link with the central button it opens in a new tab automatically, or hold down CTRL and left click on a link, as it should open in a new tab as well. I assume this works with the Command button with Mac-OS, but I do not know for certain.

Currently there’s no way to post to the test exchange on scioly.org/tests, but you can upload to the old text exchange on the wiki.

Alternatively, you can send a PM to bernard to arrange for the tests to be added to scioly.org/tests. We know the process for uploading individual tests to the wiki test exchange is cumbersome, but currently there is no "simplest" way.

If users have full sets, those can be linked to here.

It bears mentioning that it is possible to earn exalted medals by adding significant amounts of tests to the exchange. The threshold is higher for self-made tests rather than sets of invitational tests, but it is possible through either.

Its fixed on UFSO's end. If you go on our website and go to the test and keys link, you will find the correct key in the google drive folder.

1. The image gallery is all messed up. I am unable to upload anything.

2. That said, is there something I can do to help fix code problems (i.e. with the Gallery)?

Are you talking about roughly an hour ago or at other times? The one an hour ago was due to an issue against which I already took action.
