Yes, that's better like this, IMO

Now I totally agree with you.

Like I've said above, if I need a Premium Pubstat access, AND use of one or more third party programs, I'll create 2 IndentKeys, one absolutely private for the Premium acces, and the 2nd one, disallowing Premium Acces for all third party programs. And I don't care the 2nd one could be sent by email, used by someone else with an &ps=1, coz the checkbox disallows Premium acces.

IMO default checkbox value is disallow, of course (Yes, I'm really paranoid )

Quote from Victor :

So in the end your question is more like, do i entrust 3rd party applications with my identkey?

Not really. It's a only a part of the question.
For example, I trust my bank, I have an internet access to my account, I can pay fees using internet & so on.
But if my bank didn't gave me the required security level, I would not use all these features.
For example, besides account, password and https access, they sent me a card with 72 different codes, and ask for one of these codes (randomly) each time I try to make money orders or anything like that. After 3 mistakes, the internet acces to my account is locked, and they send me a mail.

IMO, as you store money on the LFS account, and give users a possibility to use it by a simple URL, you have to give them sufficient security level, and IMO, it's not the case ATM.

Maybe I'm paranoid

Quote from Victor :

How exactly would you get an IdentKey in the first place?

Like creating a free of charge mates@track or Mysolc program, but mine sends IdentKeys by mail. j/k

Quote from Victor :

No it would not, because then you still have exactly the same situation as now.

I can have 3 IdentKeys. I create 2, the first one allowing Premium Acces, the 2nd disallowing it. I use the first one only in my own programs or websites, and I don't really care for the 2nd one.

Quote from Victor :

The main idea : don't give away your identkey. And phishing for them is overrated imho. How are you going to phish for someone else's idkey, especially if the people you talk about are on their own home networks, to which you have no access to?

I understand your point of view, and I agree with that. But I have to trust programs which need my identkey for normal purposes. I trust mates@tracks and Mysolc, but who knows for next ones?

U know, in some cases, it's unusable : in France, 80% of ADSL connections use a dynamic IP, like mine. So if I do that, I'll have to update my IP on LFS World twice or more a day (some disconnections) to use mates@tracks or Mysolc (french program). Not really easy.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think there's a problem ATM.
I think Premium access restriction coud be really usefull, in case of IdentKey pishing. ATM it's quite easy to change from free acces to Premium acces, needs only adding &ps=1 at the end of the URL.

If I can obtain an IdentKey, I can use all credits on the corresponding account, I just have to use this identKey for my requests, with &ps=1. A simple "Allow Premium access (with fees)" checkbox with each IdentKey could solve this problem.

Cheers

Quote from KiDCoDEa :

a forum?

Great Idea.
A better one : a forum with a search button
Another better idea : members using this search button

Ty Victor, great job.
I'm conviced (totaly) now

Do you need contributors lfs usernames? I hope some other french speaking members will help in the future, so I can't give u a compete and definitive list

That's exaclty what I was searching for : a language selection bar http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents

U can edit the page, look at the next to last line : {{Languages|Help:Contents}}

The french links end with /fr, ie Help:Contents/fr (english link is Help:Content)

There is one major difference : if a french page doesn't exist, mediawiki doesn't display english version, but ask for creating the page (obvious ^^). But maybe that behaviour can ben customized, or may we can automatically add a link to the english version.

Remember, I have no skill in Wiki, so please, if it can't aplly, be forgiving.

Edit : looking at the wiki, I've seen the english and german TOC are different. Maybe my idea is not so good.

Quote from Victor :

Guess I'll have to dig into the docs myself too later tonight.

lol, thanks, there's not so urgent for french community, so take your time, have good nights, breaks, & so on
We'll not start so quick, and even in this case, we can copy the english tree, and in this case, I'm guessing (hoping) merging the english ans french wikis will be possible.

okay, I'm conviced (almost ).
I'll read MediaWiki documentation, and if I find a good solution, I'll propose it.

Btw, what about domain redirection, depending on user's mother tongue, for it's first access to the Wiki?
Of course from LFS official web sites only, coz the site has to identify the user.

Quote from GP4Flo :

And we need to add Geraldine to the credits somewhere.

And Leo too, IMHO ^^

Maybe u've seen, french community is about to start a French LFS Wiki.
IMHO, the best place is the official Wiki, but I think there's a major problem, wich can't arise whith English/German.
Look at Introdution URL :

• in english : http://www.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Introduction
  
• in german : http://www.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Einleitung

Unfortunately, Introduction translates to Introduction in french, and that's the same with Options, so the URLs would be the same for these pages, and IMO some others too.

In my thoughts, best way would be using a common tree with a langage suffix, a langage selection on all pages (defaults to users's mother tongue), and and an automatic language suffix in all URLs, like http://lfsworld.net/wiki/introdution/fr or http://lfsworld.net/wiki/introduction?lang=fr.
Of course, if the page doesn't exist in this langage, english version would be displayed.

I've no skills in Wiki, that'll be my first experience, so dunno if this is easy to do. Maybe this feature is allready implemented in MediaWiki, I dunno. In this case, we could use it, the only (big) problem would be from german version standardisation (updating all URLs & links to fit the standard (english) tree ie http://www.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Introduction?lang=de -obviously, this link doesn't work, it displays english version-, instead of http://www.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Einleitung.

There will be some other benefits : automatic langage selection, edit restrictions, depending on the user's mother tongue, and so on.

I'm really intersted by replies (especially Victor's one ), coz if it's not possible (or requires a lot of work) we'll start our own Wiki.

Ty for reading

Quote from fix1234 :

I think the nationalists frenchmen should study some english as they may find it useful

Another joke (not sure it's really a joke ^^) : IMO all nationalist, regardless their nationality, shoud study the whole Montaigne and Diderot works, they are well known humanists.
And of course, in original language (french ), that'll be usefull too

Edit : [OT mode off (hoping)]

Hello, Is someone intersted whith a french live for speed manual ?

It seems that there is no french manual for instance, (I havent search enough ?) I whant to try to translate the wiki manual for the french racers, is someone interested with this project ?

@+

You're welcome here (same project, french community)

And u'll find a Shannon's manual french translation too (based on S1)

Scawen, I'm not sure u've seen that : Liberto problem seems to be sound related (DirectSound issue?)

Quote from -liberto- :

important message to scawen : i think I've found why FPS decrease since U25
I tested few things but the only one who really change something with FPS is "sound". When I turn sound off I'm getting more FPS but not as much as in U20 .. So i think there is another reason ... but I think that sound is the major problem (maybe because you modified sounds blocs ... )

He'll post his hardware's details too, including sound card

lol, and he can play with that (see below )

Again may I request NO more requests here!
I've got a long list of compatible updates to do for U21, etc.
Please only report problems or very on-topic information on this thread.

Thanks!

Quote from n2oaddict :

The new patch is great! I was doing some laps in the XRR when a guy just came out of the pits. I was going so fast I couldn't avoid him, and we crashed. I got out of the car to see if he was OK, he just told me that he was sorry, he forgot to look through the mirrors. We just left our smashed XRR's in the garage, got in our XRG's and went to the closest café to have a coke and chat about racing.

Wreckers bugfix? Yeah, amazing !!
