Why not add a smal thumbnail infront of a tutorial, one for Blue ring and one for the white light? As the optware and knowledge images?

Good idea.
BTW, there's also a product from WDC called WDTV, that people are starting to hack on. They are using avforum, the thread become very long and hard to follow. I suggested them to also consider using wikidot. Naturally nslu2-linux.org opened an optware/wdtv feed for it.

Hi all,

I've seen the last days that we have new hardware versions here in our wiki and forum. I believe that we will get new visitors to this site. Persons who have never seen (or heard about) an old MBWE (with blue rings). And I'm not sure that they/we will have a chance to differentiate between the versions.

So I propose that we make it clear for which version a tutorial is approved. There will be tutorials which match for the orginal version (blue rings) and the new version (silver) and others will only match for one of these two versions.

A header like the following example would be very helpful in future.

	MBWE (blue ring version)	MBWE (silver)
approved tutorial	yes	no

This header can be enhanced to further systems, like the WD ShareSpace.

What do you think about this?

And btw. we need a clear name for the old and the new MBWE. Any idea's?

Best regards,
JpgOrganizer

Question:

Assume I have a problem with my WBII that I want to discuss - chances being that some other poor sod has seen the same exact thing, and might be able to help - if nothing else than helping me cry in my beer. ( :-) )

The "Forums" list doesn't capture any of this - it's not a "networking" question - I have not tried to "add software" to the thing yet. It has not rolled-over-dead (at least I hope not!) But I have a problem, and there does not seem to be a "OH $%*&#!!" category for people, like me, who may have done something stupid - or maybe it's a simple fix.

I can create threads, but I cannot create fora - so I am left with placing my thread in the "pages" forum hoping that I'm not stepping on someone's toes, or setting myself up for a searing flame-mail from some idiot with more authority than brains.

Hopefully you see / understand the issue and can help shed some light on this.

Thanks!

Jim

Hi, I can't find any category for hardware questions. And i can't add a category. But i don't know if thers any use for it. It can't hurt someone to add an category.

Could we make a signature (or something similar) like in other forums for every user? I've seen a lot of posts with questions about the used MBWE and firmware version.
I think it would be easier and faster to answer if you have this information available every time.

Something like this at the end of the post

 MBWE II, 2x 500 GB Firmware 01.01.18 Raid 1 Hacks: SSH, spindown

But this should be displayed automatically. If this is not possible perhaps we can write it into our profile (for example pls. have a look at my profile ).

Suggestions are welcome!

It seems that this should be messages and not wiki pages.
I agree to delete pages that do not have a significant content for a wiki page.

Hi All,
I have modified the Hacks and How to page in order to put the links in some categories.

I also would like to :
- put a comment for each link
- put a pictogram that would describe the easyness of applying the Hack ( 1->5 ?)
- put a pictogram that would say "Safe Hack" or "Risky Hack for newbies"

regards,

Hi All,
I think that the link to the "Sudo" page in the Hack and tutorial page should be removed :
http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/sudo

- we do not know why it is interesting to apply this hack
- the hack crashes samba and the standard web interface !

==> if nobody react to this post, i will delete the link from the Hack and tutorial page.

Regards,

I have only been using this Wiki for a day and found it very useful and easy to navigate. Anything that I couldn't locate easily I used the search facility at the top right of the page.
Seeing as I don't know much about Linux (nothing really) and I now have an SSL Website, remote access to files and Upnp server running on a WDMB there can't be too much wrong.

One of the comments here is that people create too many topics on the same subject, I'm new to this site and I have the following to say on it …

1. There is no apparent "forum search" function.
2. Sometimes thread subjects are NOT obvious what the thread is about.

Due to these two items I could not be arsed to go through over 50+ pages of threads to maybe find the one that is related to my issue, life is too short.

How about asking kevku to make you an admin and then do some clean up on thread titles, add tags to posts, remove redundant posts etc.

We understand your points, but we can't exactly bar people from posting just because they are too lazy to search.
