Kindle Developer's Corner Master Index (aka. Where Do I Start?) - Page 7

knc1 · 12-03-2014, 05:47 AM

Made a start at extending the index structure to include PW1, PW2, KT2 and KV
Too late at night or too early in the morning to figure out how to change our header macro, so just used some placeholder text.

Edit:
The new model index pages are ready (except for the tag images, I'll fix those later, RSN).

@NiLuJe: Would you please edit the top post section of indexes by topic to include the new PW2, KT2 and KV pages?
I added a PW2 - just because it is diverging from the K5 enough to confuse the new reader.
I added a PW1 to the master index, but only to hold a reference to the K5 index.

@knc1: Done, thanks

Did some minor dusting off of the first post, if anyone catches something weird, fire away

Digital dust, or bit rot?

Updates of relevance to firmware 5.6.5 -- particularly a link to Branch Delay's new jailbreak entry point.

But you could always cheat and use mod powers to see the post history -- oh wait, it's your post anyway.

NiLuJe · 02-08-2016, 09:13 PM

@eschwartz: Waaaayy offtopic: is the post history feature supposed to be accessible from somewhere in the UI? Because if it is, I'm not seeing it ;p.

Could you please give me such "mod powers" so I can follow your advice? I promise to behave.

geekmaster · 02-08-2016, 09:47 PM

I see that your "post history" link actually works for me, but I can only view history on my own threads.

eschwartz · 02-08-2016, 10:14 PM

@NiLuJe, the "Last edited by ____" at the bottom of any edited post gives the poster+mods access to post history.

@geekmaster, I thought you were a mod for some reason, but I guess I was thinking of twobob? All I did was ask @Alex.

geekmaster · 02-08-2016, 11:01 PM

Not being a mod contributed greatly to my devoting the bulk of my time at other (non-ebook) forums (where I learned to laugh at trolls instead of feeling a need to defend myself anymore).

NiLuJe · 02-09-2016, 12:19 AM

@eschwartz: Huh, that was sneaky, thanks

I tried editting the Master Index wiki to replace a dead URL with an archived copy at archive.org, but it would not let me login. Also, I tried a password reset using a temporary password emailed to me, but that gives me this error message:

"There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again."

I ended up doing the edit anonymously. What's up with the wiki login FUBAR? I am sure my password was correct, but the temporary password login is messed up too. At least anonynous edits are still allowed.

NiLuJe · 03-23-2016, 07:28 PM

@geekmaster: It's okay on my end :?.

geekmaster · 03-23-2016, 07:54 PM

I even disabled Privacy Badger and AdBlock Plus for the wiki page, but I still go that error trying to login with the temporary password (which forces me to change my real password). I tried multiple times, hours apart. I may try a different web browser later, but the edit I wanted is done. When I find dead links, I like to replace them with working links. I did that in an old forum post today too. Not sure why my KNOWN original wiki password is not working, nor a temporary password via email (which logs in, but fails on the mandatory password change attempt).
