Initial Difficulties

  • There is no preferences selection on the upper-right pull-down. I am frustrated at being able to set my user preferences.
  • I also don't see discussion pages in the theme as it appears once I registered. So I have no polite way to raise questions or offer discussion. The prospect of doing that is what got me here in the first places.
  • The captcha's are quite difficult, especially when a word is upside down.


Response

If this is a genuine message, I have asked James Burke to look into this,

Follow-Up

I have found my preferences under the Toolbox tab of the pull-down (it has two parts, Navigation and Toolbox).

I experimented with changing themes to see if that would make any difference, but all of the theme previews show the same theme, the one I have had since I registered.

Prior to that, the appearance was that of a conventional MediaWiki page, with tabs for discussion at the top along with the View tab for the page itself.

I would upload a screen-capture for you if that will help. I will have to look to see if there is an upload provision.

I have captured this page to show what it is I see with the pull-down. I will see if I can upload it after I post this addition to my talk page.

I am surprised that my report is suspected to be capricious or not genuine. I have confirmed my accurate e-mail and provided links to places where I am known. You can search the internet for "orcmid" and you will also find me, under my full name, Dennis E. Hamilton, as an active voting member of the <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/membership.php?wg_abbrev=office">OASIS Open Document Format for Office Documents (OpenDocument) Technical Committee</a> and as the Secretary of the <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/membership.php?wg_abbrev=oic">OASIS Open Document Format Interoperability and Conformance (OIC) Technical Committee</a>.

It is really strange to have to figure out how to enter "congwes hōyō;" for a capcha too.
