Is covering up the Help Guide Nav at my screen resolution. Might want to find a different place for it. Embyr 75  --Talk-- 15:20, 25 August 2010 (EDT)

Is that better now?User:Matt/sig 21:45, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
It's still hovering on the right over the Nav thingy. Weird. O_o Don't know what to tell ya on that one. =\ Embyr 75  --Talk-- 18:02, 25 August 2010 (EDT)
I don't get this problem, and I even resized my browser to a bunch of different sizes. What's your resolution?User:Justin/sig 18:09, 25 August 2010 (EDT)
My screen res is 1280x800 and I'm running IE7. I KNOW I know, everyone hates IE. =P But if, per chance, anyone else comes here using the same resolution and browser, they will probably run into this issue as well. Embyr 75  --Talk-- 18:25, 25 August 2010 (EDT)

Then that's the problem. IE does not conform to nearly any of the established web standards. It frequently has buggy display and rendering that places objects in the wrong location. IE has similar issues with most other coding on the wiki. There's little that can be done for it. Most of our viewers, according to Google Analytics, actually use either Firefox, Chrome, or Opera. We have more Firefox viewers than IE. So the majority will see it correctly and there's absolutely nothing we can do to prevent most IE bugs. The best that can be done for the user is to either upgrade to IE8 or to another browser.User:Matt/sig 23:19, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Well. Wikipedia doesn't give me trouble, like, ever. So. It isn't impossible to fix. O_o I mean it seems like we worry about search results and professionalism but only as long as the viewers aren't using IE... Just sayin'. Embyr 75  --Talk-- 19:33, 25 August 2010 (EDT)
Yes, but Wikipedia is mean and won't share their fixes with us. (Sarcasm). I more meant there's nothing we can personally do ourselves on the face of the wiki. It has to be done with applying bugfixes to the wiki's installation. Good luck motivating them to do that.User:Matt/sig 23:43, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
Oh. That kinda sucks. Oh well. =) Embyr 75  --Talk-- 19:49, 25 August 2010 (EDT)
Matt, you know that Adam handles the skin fixes. And if I can find out how to fix it, Adam can apply the fix. So don't give up just yet ;)User:Justin/sig 20:18, 25 August 2010 (EDT)

Name

Useful page, bad name. This is a glossary, not a dictionary (oh, by the way thanks for this, Mandi ;p). It needs to be at least renamed to Help:Glossary (I just added the "...of wiki terminology" to clarify that it's wiki-related, not in-game). Thoughts? User:Adam/sig 08:46, 6 September 2010 (EDT)
