We just upgraded from 1.3.0_beta4 to 1.3.5. All went well except one of our main contributors is reporting that on every page she now sees a message of the form:

Retrieved from "http://www.thisurl.whatever"

This is for the printable mode, and was missing from early versions of the MonoBook skin. It was added back in a late beta version; the style sheet should hide it from regular display, and show it only when printing.

It shows up just below the last of the text in an article, within the article block. She is using XP and sees the problem in Netscape 7.1 and AOL 8.0, whether logged in or not.

I don't see it, whether using OS X/Safari/IE/Netscape, or Windows 98/IE.

Sounds like she has the old style sheets stuck in the browser cache: the wiki expects the text to be hidden, but the old style sheet still says to show it. You can usually force the browser to _really_ reload by holding down either the shift or control keys (depending on which browser) while hitting the reload button. Worst case, clearing the browser's cache should do it.

Any ideas what it could be and how to get rid of it?

It happened to me on Wiktionary awhile back. To my monobook.css I added:

.printfooter { display: none; }

...which hid it again (though both in display and print, I believe--but then, I don't print from Wiktionary, so).
