 * Nice, Minecraftstyle. Looks a lot like the forums now. I like that.
 * Unbelievable that nobody thought of it sooner.
 * The only problem now is the grey text beneath minecraftwiki logo is hard to read now. A solution is to put that text above the cube.
 * It has a few problems more on the dutch wiki, like the horizontal menu that slide behind each other when the screen gets to small. CrazyBliep -  NL Admin  15:59, 27 Januari 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok, I updated the logo with brighter white lettering, I think it is better now, it doesn't get lost in the brown background. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  15:46, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh wow, pretty good! It's just an error at the "watchlist" button at german. picture -- Oliver Scholz  de.Wiki Admin 16:19, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah. It's not the german wiki, it's the german language pack -- Oliver Scholz  de.Wiki Admin 16:27, 27 January 2012 (UTC)


 * The reason for that is the text is pushed out to the side so it can't be seen (for screen readers, I guess), but obviously the text for your watchlist button is much longer than the English version. I'll just push it out further. (also, what is happening with the view history tab? Could that be a problem with length again?)


 * I think I need some help with colours in the content area (things like tables/diffs/etc. Styling of templates like infobox can come after the skin is applied globally). Right now, I just grabbed colours for various parts of the forums, and while mostly I think it looks alright, Wyn pointed out that the colour doesn't go with the mcwiki-header/logo colour.
 * I'm not really sure what to change, but I really do think they do need to be coloured, or at least made darker. The default vector colours look too light against the darker background, and the things with white backgrounds I find too bright. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 00:20, 28 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't think it needs to be changed at all. I think the white background for tables and infoboxes works just fine. Oh... that's right.. they are using yours not mine, so if you still have all the funky colors then what they are seeing is different than what I am seeing.... -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  00:59, 28 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I just found a little problem with this new style. I made a screenshot of it. Text and background have the samen color here, so you cant read the text anymore. --STS(t 09:55, 28 January 2012 (UTC)


 * That's not modified by the style. What OS are you on? It looks like this to me. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 10:13, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * @Wyn: I've commented out the colour changes until we've found something agreeable. You might want to update your copy of the style, since I've made some other colour un-related changes.
 * Perfectly, my problem is solved. -- Oliver Scholz  de.Wiki Admin 11:34, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Screenshot was taken using Google Chrome on win7. I tested it with default style and it has the same problem there, so not your fault. --STS(t 13:40, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Today I worked at the class "mcwiki-header". Here's my result: picture
 * Infobox_common & common.css -- Oliver Scholz  de.Wiki Admin 11:54, 29 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not really a big fan of the forum's header. Although the current header colour does seem slightly too blue against the background.
 * In other news, I'm still having problems with the tab collapsing. The javascript seems at fault, it can't handle the tabs having padding or margins. I would attempt to fix it, but I have no idea where to find the script responsible... It's strange because even if you move any padding/margins to the span and a, so the li is left with no margin or padding, it still gets itself stuck in a loop. I would think the script would only need to look at the li to find the tab size, and if it did, moving the margin/padding to elements within the li, instead of the li itself, should fix this bug. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 12:01, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Keep in mind that it is known that there are some css anomalies in 1.17. I believe most of these have been addressed and corrected in 1.18, so hopefully, we might see these issues go away once the wikis get upgraded. Oliver, I can't see any of the screenshots you are posting, I get a 403 Forbidden error. you might want to try a different image host. Also, there is no plan to change the blue header to match the brown headers on the forum, I hate them, and the blue header is the tie in for our logo. -- Wynthyst  talk  23:49, 30 January 2012 (UTC)


 * The 403 Forbidden error is a problem with Imgur; I suspect it happens due to incorrectly configured hotlink disabling (and at any rate, it can be fixed by just clicking in the address bar and hitting ). I'd agree, though, until Imgur fixes this problem, another image host would be preferable. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 00:15, 31 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I've already tested this skin on 1.18, and it still has the tab bug. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 02:35, 31 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah sorry Wyn, I see. New picture at the right side. (yes, it's an imgur problem) -- Oliver Scholz  de.Wiki Admin 16:03, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

I've test the theme on english and french wiki. It's really nice. But there is one problem: the drop-down list for the search bar is not showing… – Scaler (t) 10:51, 15 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Drop down for the search bar? Am I missing something? -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  10:52, 15 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry, it is showing but far on the right outside of the screen, so I didn't saw it ^^" (see capture: ). Maybe it's due to my low screen resolution on my laptop (1280×800px).
 * By the way, the top and bottom banners (.atflb and .btflb css classes) with a 1200px width are overflowing outside of the screen (1200 + ~170 of the left side bar > 1280). – Scaler (t) 12:53, 15 February 2012 (UTC)


 * The search box placement is decided on page load, but I needed to move the search box, so I guess it broke that (this happens on default vector too, if you resize the window without re-loading the page). I'll see if I can fix it, but this doesn't happen on 1.18. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 13:01, 15 February 2012 (UTC)


 * This should be fixed now. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 01:51, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Language wikis down
Several of the language wikis are currently down. This is being addressed by our tech team and we expect everything to be back up very soon. -- Wynthyst  talk  03:45, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * This should be resolved now. Please let me know if there are still problems. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  04:36, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

MC logo at our mainpage
At the German "editcopy" page someone has inserted the Minecraft logo into the text. What do you think? A good idea? -- Oliver Scholz  Wiki Admin 21:12, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
