I am running mediawiki version 1.4 for a scout wiki (gondi-online.de) The system runs very well. Last week I changed something in the database (I don't no what) and no I get the old style in properties and for example in the editing page of articles. What have I done wrong? Any ideas? thanks a lot for your help bernie

By "old style", I presume you mean the "Classic" skin, the old default from pre-1.3 versions? Here are my thoughts and suggestions: * you may have accidentally changed your preferences to "Klassik" skin * you may be seeing cached pages - either within your browser, from the server, or on some intermediate site. If dynamic pages (edit screens, preferences) look "older", maybe you have cached versions in the "MonoBook" skin, but your preferences are set to "Klassik"?
As a test, I created an account and clicked around a bit, and everything appears in your modified MonoBook as I'd expect, so I'm guessing it's specific to your computer and/or your user account.
Try doing "forced reloads" (hold down Shift or similar while refreshing) of various pages and seeing the effect; look in your preferences what skin it says you have selected; perhaps try switching skins and then switching back...

Hi Rowan! Thanks a lot for your information. I checked everything, deleted the browser-cache and the cache on the server. I changed from MonoBoook to Klassik and back again. Before ich changed something in the database last week, for example every edit-window shows the edit toolbar on top; if you like, you could compare it with another wiki (http://web36.rootpfad.de/wiki/index.php/Main_Page): same version, runs on the same server but shows another style!?

You haven't given the information that would really be useful:
* Is this on one user account only, or for all user accounts? * Does it affect logged-in users and anonymous users? Both, or only one set? * Does it affect only one browser instance? Only one browser version? * Have you tried other browsers? * On other computers? * Can you provide a screen shot showing what's "different" exactly?
Sometimes when people say they see "the old style" they are actually looking at the MonoBook skin with the style sheet missing. This does not resemble the Classic skin very much at all, and in fact looks very different beyond using the generic web browser fonts and background.
Before seeking help, please confirm which of these you are actually seeing, whether other browsers or accounts clear up the problem, whether your browser is loading an incorrect URL, whether the server is failing, whether your wiki is configured to send out the wrong style sheet path, or another problem.
If you're referring to http://gondi-online.de/index.php/hauptseite , this wiki appears to be displaying the MonoBook skin with a modified background image.
There are JavaScript errors in for instance the edit toolbar because your wiki is misconfigured: it's loading the JavaScript library from http://gondi-online.de/stylesheets/common/wikibits.js which does not exist; this sounds like an old path from 1.3.x. Other style sheet paths are similarly incorrect, but you apparently have local modified copies of them.
Please double-check your configuration and installation first.
