Hello,

Please feel free to ask any question, make any comment or anything else you feel that will aid the forum, but try and be civil. That should be a given across anywhere, really.

Also, try to finish off your posts with four "squiggles" (~~~~) which is beside the "1" key to show the user name and the time of the post. It makes everyone's lives easier.

Flags

Hello,
Just wanted to ask if I could have the flags for the following countries:

  • Tropico
  • Macau (for the Macau GP)
  • Cyprus (Or wherever the Mediterranean GP used to be)
  • Any others you can think of

I have all the other obvious flags (Canada, UK, France, etc.) but my computer is very slow. So be patient. -Jeremy

To FMecha

Hello,

Could you somehow transfer over the ingenious message box to this wiki? That would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Jeremy (talk) 00:41, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

FMecha's here! What message box you mean? FMecha (talk) 05:10, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
Found it (through cache) but I can't make it to work. I tried this:

{| class="wikitable" style="float: right;" width="493px | {{{1}}} |} FMecha (talk) 05:37, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Hmm, looks like it doesn't work for me as well. Where did you get the template from? Jeremy (talk) 03:00, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
I basically opened a google cache of the old Wikkii-hosted main page and put it on a HTML to Wiki converter page. Template:Msgbox now exists, but it does not center. FMecha (talk) 06:59, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Driver Infoboxes

Hi chaps! One question, is there a driver infobox doing the rounds at the moment? I'm re-doing my driver profiles and it might be nice to present them with one. Cheers :) Ataxia (talk) 00:02, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

I guess there isn't one at the moment, as all templates were lost as well with the Wikkii crash. I honestly haven't put a lot of thought on drivers yet, as I've been busy creating the pages for my series. Unless someone else does it first, I might have a look at the infobox template tomorrow...Nuppiz (talk) 00:42, 9 November 2012 (UTC)


Website down again?

I recieve a 404 Error when trying to access the F1Rejects website - Pi3141 10:15, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Same here. Looks like the hosting service is being useless again... Nuppiz (talk) 10:22, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

HTML to wiki converter

Thanks to FMecha's hint, I found a handy online tool which allows you to convert HTML tables to wiki. It's not perfect as you still have to convert all flag icons and links manually, but should help a lot in salvaging cached content from the old wiki. You can find the tool here.

Here's another one, which allows whole wiki pages to be converted, not just the tables. Nuppiz (talk) 11:08, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
They both don't work... unless if I'm doing something wrong... :/ Jeremy (talk) 16:10, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
You have to copy the HTML code, rather than what appears on the page :) Pasta maldonado (talk) 16:41, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
And where does one get that? I tried dumping the source code into it, and it didn't work... Jeremy (talk) 19:21, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
What beowser are you using? Pasta maldonado (talk) 20:29, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Good Cache List

Here is some examples of caches I found on google:

That should help, I think. Jeremy (talk) 15:41, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
