So far the magic edit, protect, unprotect, move button is showing on all pages (Firefox) for me.

[kassandra]

Ok thanks Hawk, but surprisingly Wikia functions work again. I was able to change it the usual way, , just by changing in MY Preferences into MonoBook and hitting Save button.

I suggest doing the same, as the interface is much user-friendly. Multiple upload at hand and you can finally clearly see if the page is protected or not.
However, the design does not see that attractive, as the huge blue Wikia logo is pretty annoying ;p
And... is it only my imperssion or are the articles much BIGGER in MonoBook?

Ok, I tried to edit something but didn't manage to. I guess I got blocked

Wow, I'm blocked for one year bu one of Wikia volunteer Spam Force (http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help%3ASpamTaskForce). The funny thing is that they ask me to contact the one who blocked me or Wikia Admins . However, when I try to write to Igor I can't.... because I'm blocked ! I'm blocked on damn whole WIkia, can't even write in CommunityHelpForum. Great. So how am I supposed to unbocked if I can't contact anyone?: O
Btw, can any of the admins unblock me? My lock message says I can contact Exler or any of the administrator and it direct me to Nehrim Wiki admins.


EDIT: I am unblocked for the time being.Maybe he realized he made a mistake ;O
EDIT2: When changed to MonoBook when I edit articles they are always in Source Mode... ech... Why can't eiditng on Wikia be easier? :] Back to New Iika Look then....

[TheGunnerBoat]

Someone is going powermad!

[TheHawk]

Hi.

Yep, now monobook works for me as well. Going to keep it while doing editing (spellchecking etc) as easier in source mode. Not sure if I would bother using it for creating a new page or article.

@kassandra - glad they unblocked you. Just did quick search on wikia help and came across someone they will not unblock for similar reasons. Also if see any glitches on site, could well be the css/ java code will need changing. Guess any glitches will have to wait till Toxic returns.

edit:: I might just do a spell check etc on whole site, if you think its worth it.

p.s Have seen a lot of usage of the word crate, have not changed any, was unsure if people meant grate.
crate = wooden box or to crate = boxing something up. Grate = framework of metal bars used as a cover, a fireplace or an annoying sound i.e to grate ones teeth.
Might be other meanings but cannot be bothered to check at moment.

[Casper]

just a quick question. how many admins do you have? active ones i mean.

[TheHawk]

Hi.

@Casper - depends on definition of "active". I have only just started contributing again after commitments took me away for 6/7 weeks. I believe the same is true of at least two others.

[kassandra]

Hawk, is your account fine or are you still banned?
(It should be unblocked as I can see I can block you, not unblock)

Casper, active (or more or less active) admins are:
me
Hawk
Gunner
Toxic (she wants to be active but a bit buys in rl at the moment)
Arvisrend (he does check sometimes)
Grnet
Shatar (plans to be more active after the exams)

However, Toxic and Shatar are easily at hand always, as the are always will to help in emergency issues as I sometimes send them FB messages if something goes wrong.

Inactive (those that we have no contact with and they totally disappeared for Wikia nad SureaAI)
Bec (she is the o founder)
Blink1 (totally disappeared)


And the BANNING thing... it is Wikia's SpamTaskForce... they guys who Banned me and Hawk are from Wikia....
Hawk, you can check the ne who blocked you here:
http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help%3ASpamTaskForce

I guess I will send one of them a message to ask what is going on...

[TheHawk]

Hi.

Unblocked now. Only lasted seconds.

Did send a message asking what's going on, but they have no way to contact me since I have not verified my e-mail yet.

[kassandra]

Asked a question here:
http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Q ... g_of_users


Hope it won't happen again... wll be quite discouraging if one of our contributors gets blocked unexpectedly.

[Shatar]

I saw that the Main Page was a little messed up some days ago with the weird 'edit button' disappearance (how did this happen?). Now it still looks a little bit 'broken' (a lot of space between the navigation bar and the 'Home' section, the 'Latest activity' section has also moved again and left a bit of coding behind).

Perhaps this is why the Super Über Mega 1337 Anti-Spam Task Force of Doom banned several people as they thought we were all responsible for the mess.

I'm glad to hear it's solved now.

[kassandra]

@Shatar

Missing Edit Button
It was due to a huge wikia update to a new version. It was not our doing:) They did expect some glitches and code messing. And it was Wiki Support that helped to fix it, they wrote some codes and this message: 'Attached you will find the snippets of CSS that broke your skin.The problem is their relative attribute is draping the element on top of your other skin elements.'

Blocking
I guess we can expect more of that. Probably due to some elemnts in our IPs that result in automatic blocking:http://community.wikia.com/index.php?ti ... 0127183616


Latest Activity
I guess it was pretty intentional, no, Hawk? I guess it's pretty easy to go back to previous version- we can rollback the latest edit (but we will also have to edit for some spelling mistakes on the main page again).

[TheHawk]

Hi.

@kassandra - intentional??? seemed strange. Without facts - unsure.

The little weird look of home page etc could well be down still to some css scripting. As there fix would propably not fix all. Needs checking. Could Toxic do it??

Rollback!!!!!!!!! I've spell checked and put some bits correct from Path of the Gifted upto and including Shots for Freedom. (I loathe spell checking)........... please do not mention rollback again.

[kassandra]

Ok sorry Hawk, thought that you didn't like the position of the Latest Activity and moved it at the bottom of the page (you were the last in main page history when I checked its History:p) Already fixed it, it's just the position of the elements on our main page, didn't need to code anything. Rollback did well and I corrected the spelling mistakes again.

Toxic is at the moment extremely busy. But when she is back, I will definitely ask her to review CSS as Wikia Support wrote that the problem was due to our CSS scripting, not new update. Or would be great if any of you knew anyone who is familiar with CSS and willing to help us from time to time. I've seen one can do wonders with CSS and JavaScript ;p Maybe this Visitors Counter is possible in JS? Just a guess.

I also encounter Bad Request error problem every time I hit Save for the first time, pretty annoying. And sometimes the page freezes and my edits just vanishes. Uh.

[TheGunnerBoat]

This events just shows we need to move to IPv6 soon.

[TheHawk]

Hi.

I also encounter Bad Request error problem every time I hit Save for the first time, pretty annoying. And sometimes the page freezes and my edits just vanishes. Uh.

I am seeing a few oddities when I start an edit. edit::: seems alright now.

Visitors counter could be in many code languages, asp/php/java/html. (personally do not like java, used to be easy to infect). Not sure which would be best and long time since I messed with any css code.

p.s Honest, I will not move anything with out asking

edit: @TheGunnerBoat - Yep Ivp6 would be great, but how far away is it?

[TheHawk]

Hi.

Another post.
While using monopage actually found a page in my tools which showed how many users in last hour (or something like that). Changed from monopage and cannot find it now. Anyone else come across it?

[Shatar]

Did you mean Recent Changes or Users List ?

[TheHawk]

Hi.

@Shatar - First sorry about my manners not enquiring after your exams. So, hope everything is going well.
Second - neither of those links and I have tried to find it in the mono style wiki again. Might just have been a glitch, as some pages in mono I cannot view now as it says wrong theme installed.

[TheGunnerBoat]

The only reason behind not adopting IPv6 is that people technically involved in servers maintenance are delaying its full deployment for fear and ignorance.

For deployment, IPv6 is largely incompatible with IPv4 at the packet level, and translation services have practical issues that make them controversial.[2] IPv6 and IPv4 are therefore treated as almost entirely separate networks with devices having two separate protocol stacks if access to both networks is needed, with tunneling of IPv6 on IPv4 and vice versa. In December 2008, despite marking its 10th anniversary as a Standards Track protocol, IPv6 was only in its infancy in terms of general worldwide deployment. A 2008 study[3] by Google Inc. indicated that penetration was still less than one percent of Internet-enabled hosts in any country. IPv6 has been implemented on all major operating systems in use in commercial, business, and home consumer environments.[4]
