The sidebar is still a little dodgy in netscape. When I logged in the sidebar was superimposed on top of the main text. Changing to 'floating left' seems to have repaired the problem. 'Fixed left' works ok too. 'Fixed right' causes the display error.
Yeah, I had to give up on that one--I can't get the "right" sidebar to work on IE, Mozilla, and NS 4.X all at once, so I picked the former two. "Fixed left" is the default (except for old users who already had it set on the right).
'Random page' takes me to the same page every single time... I'm not sure whether that's a bug or not.
Sounds like one to me...but since it works for me, you'll have to give me a more detailed description of what you're doing to reproduce this error.
There is text showing up in red here and there and I'm not sure why. My favourite feature in the wikipedia is the ability to show up nonexistent links in red - it jumps out at you from the page rather than your having to search for little blue question marks... I can't find it in my preferences, so I guess it's been removed from this version? Oh, Ok, I just found it. It wasn't obvious to me that 'highlight links to empty topics' meant 'show them in red'.
"Red: sounded a little too hard-coded to me...it prevents me from taking advantage of whatever other form of highlighting might be useful in the future, or whatever might work better with a different skin.
I made a test page via a link, but when I click on 'what links here'? It says that there are no links to the page. The link did not show up until I went back and edited the 'Interest' page again.
Jan reported the same error. I'll have to investigate this. Can either of you reproduce this reliably?
Something a little strange in a circular redirect. I linked from 'Interest' to 'Interested' which is a redirect to 'Intrest'. 'Intrest' in turn redirects back to 'Interest'. Intrest now appears to be uneditable. When I attempt to edit the intermediary page 'Interest' shows up in the edit window.
I'll have a look at that too. I was able to get around it by typing the URL directly, but it should still work. 0

Or different eyes. Some people can't see red.
