The Invisible Sidebar
- Yo, is the sidebar suddenly just not present for anyone else? Because it isn't loading at all for me, and I tried both monobook and default. The sidebar hasn't been edited in close to a year, but it is displaying the default mediawiki sidebar (main page, community portal, etc.). Any ideas what the deal is? --Qwerty 15:53, 10 June 2011 (EDT)
- Not sure what happened, but I've known it to happen on rare occasions before. It always ends up reappearing not too long after its disappearance, though. - EspioKaos 16:11, 10 June 2011 (EDT)
The Firefox plug-in
- I'm not sure if it was ever updated, but I updated the search plugin a while ago to use the new logo. I've dumped it here for the time being since I don't have FTP access to update it on the location linked by the sidebar. - Miraglyth 15:30, 30 March 2008 (CDT)
bea
- Nah, I was trying to get it as a sub-bullet under Events, but apparently that doesn't work in the sidebar. Guess it's ok where you put it, though. --Qwerty 18:40, 22 April 2008 (CDT)
Search box
Can this please be placed in a more convenient location? It's really annoying to have to constantly scroll down to the bottom of the page to search for anything. If an admin needs a reference, see my page for a suggestion. —Feauce 12:36, 21 February 2009 (CST)
