Thanks a lot Jon. This is my first time with MediaWiki & I just assumed that the
search bar change in the 1.16 version was on the default skin.

Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki 1.16 search bar still in old 1.15 location ?
There are 3 pieces to the "new look"
#1 - Vector skin. Go into LocalSettings.php and change $wgDefaultSkin to
'vector'.
#2 - The collapsible navigation panel are 'CollapsibleLeftNav' from the
Usability Initiative - Info here:

#3 - The new editing bar. That is 'WikiEditor', also from the Usability
Initiative. Info here:

I downloaded the new 1.16 version of MediaWiki & installed it offline using
EasyPHP for my MySQL backing. I was excited about the new layout in this
version of MediaWiki, especially the change in the search bar location.
My installation of the new MediaWiki version was successful, except that
the layout appears to be the same as the old 1.15 version. Notably the
search bar is still in the left hand side navigation panel. The navigation
panel as well is of the old style variety without any collapsible menus.
Is there something I am doing wrong ?
Thanks for the help.
