yes...
Test summary of the test thread. This thread is about testing of liquid threads in English Wiktionary, a free dictionary that your ... can edit.
no
I appear to have become some sort of message which is not delivered through the conventional editing of my user page. Why is it so? What is its purpose? Is it going to supplant our traditional way of addressing each other (on user talk pages)?
Say hello to LiquidThreads.
It has been installed now, as I already announced on the BP. Yes, it will be the new way to leave messages, and you will have to live with it.
New messages can still be posted on your talk page I think. The so called new messages only mean that someone has responded to your post in a liquid thread.
Maybe Wiktionary:LiquidThreads testing should be used for testing, as Wiktionary:Sandbox doesn't have LQT turned on, hm?
A post, testing one. The signature is shown automatically; not too bad.
And there is a hyperlink next to "my watchlist" that notifies me of new messages. Now this is seriously cool. And I do not have to worry about accidentally editing someone else's post. The interface informs other users that I have edited my post after having posted it.
Well there's one problem... the edittools don't work at all for LQT. That seriously needs to be fixed.
That's because, when I wrote the JavaScript that handles them, it never occurred to me that they might ever be inserted dynamically into an existing page. And even if it had occurred to me, I probably would have assumed they'd be inserted by JavaScript that could then invoke the JavaScript that handles them. Update: Actually, now that I think about it, what I wrote was just a replacement for previously-existing JavaScript that had already made that assumption. So it's not my fault! :-P
Does anyone know if LQT has any JS hooks or callbacks or anything like that? Is there any way to get it to call the code that handles the edit-tools? I really don't want to write JS that will just poll the page every so often to see if suddenly the edit-tools are in it.

Are there smileys? I mean emoticons, like in forums.
Which turns out to be a perfect smiley. :)
The point Yair is making (well from how I see it :-) ) is that it'd cool if typing :), :( , >:(, >:) :D, etc actually yielded emoticons as they in some chatrooms and fora. Btw, this is still awesome though! ^^
It would be pretty cool, but I could see it causing problems, and it's probably not practical. fr.wikt actually has emoticon templates, see fr:Category:Modèles d’émoticônes.
