There has been a lot of questions around who I am, and I'd like to
introduce myself. My real name is Casey. I've been an enthusiast of pinball
for many years, playing and fixing them. I am an active member on KLOV and
BYOAC. I regularly attend the White Rose Gameroom Show in York, PA along
with The Pinball Wizards Convention (now PinFest) both in the spring and
fall, in Allentown, PA. I have also attended Pinball Expo back in 2009,
which was a blast. I currently own 8 pinball machines, from EM to SS and
have over 50 arcade games, also EM to SS.

Casey, thanks for getting the ball rolling on the PinWiki, it's a great idea
that's long overdue.

Please introduce yourself at Allentown, I'd love to meet you and chat a bit.
I'll have a booth doing repairs and selling misc. parts.

There seems to be an error on the website. Cannnot post? Or it could
be me???

Thank you for taking the first step. Just needs a little refinement.

Thanks for setting up the site Casey. I've also joined the forum.
Looking good so far.

Ditto! I'll stop by to help edit/clarify entries when things settle down
here. Maybe there will be a happy ending after all...

I've just registered for the PinWiki.
Great idea!
I will contribute as are a lot of other people.
Let's make this Wiki better and more complete than any webpage ever was.

Although I think this site is great for some information I think we
should go ahead with another site for repair info and have it hosted
by ipdb (if they're willing to do so) and do the donation thing.

I feel as though a wiki might have some malicious individuals sabotage
a repair section.

Lol I need a logo before I get a shirt, but I might throw something
together with some cheap iron on stuff.

Hi Casey. Thanks again for getting this started. Hopefully we can
get enough people involved to get the key information back online in a
few months.

BTW, is there any way to get a page of thumbnails of all the uploaded
pictures? We may be able to reuse pictures for some of the articles
plus it would also allow us to put out a request for pictures that we
need.

If you click upload file, then list uploaded files. It doesn't offer
thumbnails but at least a list of files uploaded.

True, and if you go into the file details it shows a thumbnail view...
which made me think that maybe the thumbnail column could be added to
the "File List" page?

That, or if there's an easy way to extract the names from the file
list table, a quick script could be created to generate a page of
thumbnail images.

I am looking into a few features to add to the wiki and I will look at what
I can do.

Thanks. We need some general pictures of mechanisms like switches,
pop bumpers, drop targets, etc. and I was trying to see if something
already existed.
