Equestripedia:Forums/Announcements/Site overall

From Equestripedia, the Archives of Equestria!

Miraheze is a good platform. I want to specify that because, even though they cause me headaches to no end, they've been far better to me as a webmaster then Fandom or our paid hosting provider has ever been. However, nothing is perfect, and one of their biggest flaws is forcing all wikis to update their MediaWiki software, which can cause unforeseeable issues. As such, you may have noticed that our theme design has broken, again, after an update and I have no clue on how to fix it. Instead, I figured the best thing to do instead is switch to a skin that wouldn't break after updates, so a decent appearance is possible.

In the coming weeks, I'll be trying to optimize the wiki for the Monaco skin, as I feel like it's the best fit for our site. Vector will still be available for those who wish to use it and I'll try to write the code in such a way that it preserves Vector's current look for those who don't care for the change.

As for the specifics of the design, I'm not sure. If I can figure out how to re-edit the pop-ups, I may stick with the purple design, but if I can't, I'll instead go for a more traditional and soft white/offwhite look. Any suggestions is much appreciated.

P.S. our forums broke in the update, so I'll be making announcements through a more basic system for now.

P.S.2 I'm so very sorry for being so inactive. I've been incredibly busy with work and most of my freetime has been spent with loved ones instead of wiki editing.
