I think Gregory it's the "div class".  Just remove the div class capsule, the front and rear tags.  That seemed to fix it for me. [[User:Wjhonson|Wjhonson]] 22:39, 6 July 2008 (PDT)

Hi Greg,
 
 
Out of curiosity - why is the article I made, [[Music For Tourists]], here? Not that I'm against it being copied over, just wondering why that particular article is here out of all the articles I've written (and all the articles on Wikipedia). [[User:Naerii|Naerii]] 13:57, 25 July 2008 (PDT)
 
:I don't know why that one, from among many others.  Probably just caught a user's eye as being a good one for drawing traffic.  Since it's a legal entity or trademarked product, I should probably move it to Directory space.  Your authorship attribution is actually captured in the Edit history.  Let me know if I can help some other way.  According to MyWikiBiz "rules" the content is up for grabs until Chris Garneau or one of his authorized agents elects to take "ownership" of the page. -- [[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 09:05, 27 July 2008 (PDT)

:Gavin, I'm glad that you're impressed. I hope you'll tell others, because the only way we're going to really take off is if we build a viral wave of some sort.  Sites like Wikia and AboutUs are going to leave MyWikiBiz in the dust, ''unless'' folks start to realize the two advantages here -- semantic web notation that helps search engine results, and self-paying advertising in protected space.  Otherwise, we're just "another wiki". -- [[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 20:30, 28 September 2008 (PDT)

Math Biz

Hi Greg,

Do you think there's any chance you'll be updating the math parser, whatever it is, any time soon? I'd like to keep MyWikiBiz as my main work wiki and I've been trying to fix all the problems with MathJax or whatever it is, but it just doesn't look doable anymore. Here's how one of my math sections looks on three different wikis:

  • MyWikiBiz
http://mywikibiz.com/Directory:Jon_Awbrey/Differential_Logic_and_Dynamic_Systems_2.0#Terminological_Interlude
  • InterSciWiki
http://intersci.ss.uci.edu/wiki/index.php/Differential_Logic_and_Dynamic_Systems_2.0#Terminological_Interlude
  • Wikiversity
https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:JonAwbrey/Sandbox

Aside from the overall readability issues, there's problems with underlining and failure to distinguish serif and sans serif characters that I use for a critical math distinction.

Frankly, there is zero chance that I would personally update the math parser, because I'm not technically inclined. The last time we had a major overhaul to the platform was in 2014. That took an outside contractor to execute, and the cost was around $900. I am just guessing that a math parser update would potentially set off a domino effect of requiring an update to the Mediawiki root platform, and thus I could be "in" for another $1,000-ish cost. Your most popular page, Logical graph, got 62 hits from around the globe in the past month. For 2 hits a day, I really can't justify the potential budget outlay. Is there any way you would commit to splitting the cost and working with me to find an appropriate contractor? - MyWikiBiz (talk) 16:50, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
