NewSkin/Fixed
All Browser Platforms
- the "pre" tag is broken (jumbles it all together rather than respecting the formatting) ... see http://www.aboutus.org/CAPTCHA_For_LinkSpam#LocalSettings.php
- When i click "move", the rest of the toolbar disappears.
- This is how Monobook works, and is standard MediaWiki functionality. This may change if desired.
- Google maps extension doesn't render under OS X/Firefox & Safari see User:John Stanton
- It doesn't render at all! yikes!
- Because of the locations of the "flag" button and the "useful links" menu, I find that I often overshoot the flag with my pointer and the useful links drops down, covering up the flag. Is there any way one or both of these could be moved so this doesn't happen? TedErnst | User talk:TedErnst 13:35, 5 September 2007 (PDT)
- In my personal tools area my name is really small and brown and "My Talk" is large but also brown. I think both are supposed to be large and orange. Also the little blank person icon doesn't show up next to my name. Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6
- I think this is an overall problem with the skin and OpenID logins. --Vinh Nguyen

Google searching doesn't work. - My username is in all lower case. Nathan (talk) 17:44, 5 September 2007 (PDT)
- Mine too. Must be by design. I'm not sure I like it.
- Flag is not working... Isabel 15:46, 10 September 2007 (PDT)
IE6 on Windows
- Please refer to my notes below regarding problems between the newskin and portal formats.--DaughertyBw 19:07, 6 September 2007 (PDT)
what i am seeing
Regarding the portal type pages..
- with the default skin
- with the newskin
- I am using MIE version 6.0 as a web browser
- Unfortunately IE6 doesn't play nicely with floats, but these should be fixed. Hat tip to TakKendrick for pointing out another error that led me to the discovery of this simple fix.
IE7 on Windows
- The useful links toolbar cannot be expanded sometimes for non-logged in
- The blue navigation bar at the top of the main page doesn't always display
- The grass does not appear at the top. Above the grass is a pale green horizontal bar. In this pale green bar appears the AboutUs text part of the logo (above the edit button). Also, the "useful links" menu doesn't seem to appear at all. TedErnst 06:43, 8 September 2007 (PDT)
- Actully, since I couldn't upload the screenshot because of the missing menu, I switched back to the old skin and don't see an option to choose the new skin at all. Interestig. TedErnst 06:48, 8 September 2007 (PDT)
Netscape on Windows
-
When pages are resized and browser windows are adjusted, the content footer doesn't render as nicely as it should. The two divs don't evenly fill out the entire space.
Firefox on Windows
The default font (Lucida Sans) does not show clearly in Firefox, this is pretty important as the entire site is pretty much unreadable - very off putting.
There is a really strange scrollbar (sometimes) between the sidebar and the main section of the page. TedErnst | talk 09:12, 11 September 2007 (PDT (seen screenshot)
Safari on Windows
-
Safari has one slight problem rendering the content footer with enough padding. This isn't detrimental, purely visual. -
The content action icons show an what looks to be an extra pixel of info.
FireFox on OSX
-
The something seems to be messing the "section edit" links up on some pages. See RockProperties.com, Loofie.com and CompraWifi.com for an example. All the links for the section edits are stacked at the bottom of the page. It's possible maybe that somehow the missing logo is causing this (seems like the common thread with all these pages), but it's an issue for sure.- This looks like it may be a problem with the DomainBox CSS. From what I can tell so far, if you float an image left, and probably anything else, the links go awry. Floating right or center do not, however, cause any problems.
- I've handled the above section by moving the edit links. Floats were disturbing their peace.

Firebug reports error "document.searchbarform.auSearch has no properties" on any pageload. Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R2218) Darwin 8.10.1 Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3) - On my watchlist, the bold is a bit subtle. It's not easy to tell which pages I've already viewed and which I haven't. TedErnst | talk 23:17, 5 September 2007 (PDT)
- When I put "JoyOfMovement.com" in the search bar, I get a blank page and this url: http://www.aboutus.org/index.php?title=Special%3AAboutUsSearch2&searchfield=joyofmovement.com TedErnst | talk 18:00, 6 September 2007 (PDT)
- The article tab looks as if it is selected (no brown line underneath) even when a different tab (like history) is actually selected. Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R2218) Darwin 8.10.1 Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3)
- This is actually the way it should work: While on the history page, for example you are viewing a page that lives under the article. Thus both tabs are considered "active."
- Really long lists like http://www.aboutus.org/Special:Allmessages are cut off on Firefox, Camino, and other Mozilla based browsers under the new skin. They are fine in IE, Safari, and on mozilla based browsers with the old skin selected.
- http://www.aboutus.org/User_talk:TedErnst#Thanks_Ted_for_letting_me_know - the edit button comes down over the page title when viewing a URL with an anchor (when you scroll back up). TedErnst | talk 00:22, 1 October 2007 (PDT)
- Small problem, should be fixed now.
Safari on OSX
- In my personal tools area my name is really small and brown and "My Talk" is large but also brown. I think both are supposed to be large and orange. Also the little blank person icon doesn't show up next to my name. Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R2218) Darwin 8.10.1 Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3)
-
"useful links" in PageActionsArea shows up immediately after "move" on the left rather than next to my personal tools on the right. Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R2218) Darwin 8.10.1 Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3)
Frames
This seems to be happening every time I try to do a "frame" command in an image. The image wants to float to the right and stack on each other, instead of being on the left and next to each other. So that [[Image:TakCaricatureSm.jpg|50px|frame]][[Image:TakCaricatureSm.jpg|50px|frame]] gets:
Adding a "left" command forces it back to the left, but still stacks the image. [[Image:TakCaricatureSm.jpg|50px|left|frame]][[Image:TakCaricatureSm.jpg|50px|left|frame]]:
If you'd like to see a page where this is really bad, take a look at ElectroClass.com.tr. I've added an image of what this page looked like under the old skin: Image:ElectroClassSm.jpg.
Because the domain owner for ElectroClass.com.tr was the one who pointed out the frames problem in the first place, I'd appreciate it if once this is resolved you let me know so I can contact him. Thanks, TakKendrick
Dif and the NewSkin
Apparently,
- It's also doing this on category listings as well... -- Tak
- This should be "fixed" for Diffs, however, category lists still need to be looked at. The reason for the quotations is that tables of this structure will always break the skin. It's the nature of tables not to break, and tables with long, non-spaced phrases cause problems.
Edit Page
Edit font very hard to read, lacks contrast, size at least 1pt too small. John 11:08, 18 September 2007 (PDT)(the old guy)
- John, I'll push the size up very shortly. Somehow missed this comment before.
Useful links box
The plus sign should change to a minus sign when the box is expanded. I would like to see the box expanded as a default because this is the only window into the site now, you might consider this as a preference setting.
- Yes, I need to fix the + to - change, still. As for the box being expanded on load, for non-logged in users, or first time visitors, it is closed for advertising reasons.
Plain Links
Doing a <span class="plainlinks"> doesn't make the links look like internal links (like it used to). The "plainlinks" class is something we've used a lot to point to things without the links looking like external links (under the new skin, they're dotted links). Generally it's used when we need to have an external link that still goes to the wiki for special actions. Ie. leave a note (this is in Firefox on a Mac) -- TakKendrick
- Fixed this. Sorry, forgot I changed the external links :)
Old Skin still reappearing
Hey guys,
Love the new skin, but after logging in I am redirected to the old skin, and it's stuck now :(
Just thought you guys might like to know.
Miccas 00:04, 12 September 2007 (PDT) UPDATE: Found that I can change it back in my preferences, but it might be better to get rid of the old one.
- I agree, I think it's still there for testing purposes. But it will be turned off shortly, if not by the time this post is saved. --Vinh Nguyen 15:15, 2 October 2007 (PDT)
AboutUsBot not working
I'm not sure if this is because of the new skin but thought it might be good to bring to your knowledge that the AboutusBot is not creating new pages: ErrorLog#AboutUsBot_not_working. Best, Obed Suhail
- It should be working. It was a small js error. Thanks Obed.
The Logo from the Consensus Poll
I like the logo that we all worked so hard on from the consensus poll over at AboutUsLogo. I would like it to be represented on the site. If I am mistaken and the consensus poll was about logo elements, please let me know. ~~ MarkDilley
Visited links
My visited links are no longer a different color. Making it difficult to navigate through RecentChanges and my watchlist. Does this have to do with the new skin? MarkDilley
