What, you haven't found it yet? Thats pretty basic physics you know, every programmer needs to learn it. ;D

My holiday planning would like to know where that loophole is, too.

May I ask why editing in the faq is disabled? I found new information about global/static object con-/destruction for g++ and I would like to share that information with you

A lot of pages are locked (to defeat spam bots that don't know to unlock them?) but any user can unlock them by clicking the appropriate link at the bottom of the page.

Even when logged in as "admin", i get "Unlocking pages is disallowed on this wiki" error message... weirdo.
Do you know any reason for this, Solar ?

See the discussion on / around June 20th... it appeared that the Wiki allowed
anyone to lock/unlock pages, not only admins, so I disabled locking/unlocking for everyone, thinking that the "lock status" of most pages would be OK as it is.
It seems it isn't.
I'll enable the lock/unlock feature when I get home tonight, and leave it like that over the weekend. Would that be OK?
I'm going on a weekend vacation that requires some preparation, so I cannot hack around in the user authentication right now (and don't really feel like it since I couldn't get it working last time already). This is the one big, big, BIG nuisance with PhpWiki - they implemented Apache auth, basic auth, DB based auth, page-metadata auth, but
none of them actually works out-of-the-box. ::)
(And please, don't cry "MediaWiki" again.
)

Unlocking pages should now be possible.

Seeing how the AddComment plugin was abused for inserting spam into the OS-FAQ Wiki (and for nothing else), I disabled that plugin. If that is not OK with some of you, please drop me a note.
