Forum:Minor Technical Changes Coming

Hey all, just wanted to stop by and make you aware of some tweaks coming to this wiki. They shouldn't really affect much in the overall scheme of things, but wanted to give you a heads up anyway.

First, we are going to be changing the way the edit page looks. You can read more about it here, but we're giving it a little more structure and organization. No functionality will be lost (like EditTools) and most of the improvements are just to help users of the Rich Text Editor.

Also, we are going to be getting rid of the little gray history toolbar that appears below the page title as part of our initiative to continue to improve upon the new Wikia look. We simply found that toolbar was getting in the way for most of the major editors and that page interaction improved when we sent out an A/B Test without that line. History will end up in the drop down "edit" menu and, of course, it will remain in your floating toolbar at the bottom (unless you have customized the toolbar not to have it).

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THIS WIKI. I have noticed that you have added icons to your site in this very area I just mentioned. With that area going away, so will your icons. I'm truly sorry about this, but honestly we never really intended for that place to serve that purpose, so we just considered the purpose of the bar on the large majority(99.99%) of the wikis where it is uncustomized. There are probably far better ways to add the icons as well. I would suggest using a  relative placement. Please ask me if you have any questions about how to do that! --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 15:07, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
