What happened to the LINKS....

Ok, gotcha!

When you are on that page (or any techwiki page you have issues with) click the link to the right of:
Edit this page at the source: (at bottom of the page)

That dumps you out of the Wordpress view, into the MediaWiki view.  There's some issues going on there with WordPress not linking to/displaying the pdf or image files. 

Note that some files are there in both PDF and jpg (or other) formats, you may have to try both to see which gives you a better quality.

David/Sue,

Note that there's an issue (or maybe it's a limitation?) to the WP view linking to wikimedia files pages and displaying those files (image and PDFs) so that they can be downloaded or printed. i usually use the MW version, and not WP pages, so I hadn't noticed whether this happened before any upgrade.

Thanks
Ken

I had corrected this issue with the PDF documents (at least I thought so) but I see the issue with the photos that you are describing.  I have a support ticket out to the developer of the plugin I am using for this display of the Wiki in WP but for now, as Ken suggests, you can view the source document and then the links work correctly.

I'll keep the group updated as I hear from the developer.

Also, haven't seen this mentioned in another post, but the web server is not configured to use https/ssl.  This means login credentials and any other sensitive information are being transmitted in unencrypted plain text and can be intercepted.  The certificate for the server is invalid, which makes it possible to intercept traffic with a "man in the middle" attack.  Both of these configuration issues are particularly risky for the C34.org users who are accessing the site via an unsecured public wifi connection. 

Should be somewhere on the admin's "to-do" list.

Agreed!!!

Good points on the security of the login.  Dave Sanner is looking into this.

In trying to upload a manual to the TW, I see that there is a PDF file size limit (error, file too large.) 
I hadn't run across this before -- is this something new, or maybe I have just been lucky.  I can't find where the max file size is stated so that I can try to break them up or reduce size.  Whats's the size limit?

Thanks

I just wanted to follow up to let folks know that the developer of the plug in we use for the wiki contents released a fix to the issue that we had with the jpg and png files not working correctly.  That seems to be resolved now.
