Brion,

I get the impression that this page is only available for "new-school" skins (i.e. those that use PHPTal). Anyway, I bit the bullet and downgraded to PHP4, so now we can use the Monobook skin.

Thanks for your help, Matt

It's possible that Nostalgia doesn't include one. Check the source.

Isn't there a way to add styles that apply to *all* skins without changing the common.css file directly? What am I missing?

No, you'd have to change the centrally-included CSS files.
