Route exploration requirements

As a continuation from the archived discussion, I'm going to incorporate the "Requirements to fully explore this area" as part of the route description on each article, instead of it having its own section. Taromon 12:01, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

brilliant idea. SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch 12:05, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

No, please do not. Most administers agreed against the case. If you want to write up a "Geography" or "Route description" section including HM/TM requirement, please do. But do not create a section for it.--Clarky13 14:04, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Image of nothing?

I've noticed there's an image called File:None.png. It's just a blank white image, and in the summary it says, "Image of nothing". What's the point in it? Taromon 22:51, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

If it were perfectly square, it could be used better as a spacer... buuuuut no. TTEchidna 00:12, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

They're for the itemlist template for items that don't have any images (the Gen II berries for example).--ForceFire 00:28, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

valentine's day

since it's valentine's day tomorrow, could we make the main page luvdisc themed? or something? i think it would be cool. Empath-Silvio 23:54, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Bulbapedia anniversary celebrations are your Valentine's present. TTEchidna 00:11, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Main Page

This image of Erika with this Bulbasaur looks really odd. How about a better picture. I'd offer to make a new one. - unsigned comment from LucaLucario (talk • contribs)

WOW! This is different! But I do agree about the pic. Everything else, excellent! - Vhayes1992 12:33, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree. It fits but it looks a bit off. Did admins vote on this or something? --GEN1KING 14:31, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

The new theme

The new Bulbapedia theme is great, but there is a slight problem. The logo "Erika's Garden", and the links for Article, Discussion, Edit etc come up on top of the site content, making it virtually impossible to read the first few paragraphs of each article. Is this a minor glitch due to the theme being very new, or is it a problem with my computer/browser? I hope somebody can fix it soon, thanks! Taromon 12:51, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Hm. Apparently the problem occures only in IE, it's perfectly fine on Firefox. Jio will have to take a look at it. In the meanwhile, we strongly suggest you try viewing Bulbapedia in Firefox and not IE, it looks much better there. --electAbuzzzz 13:01, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I've got AOL 9.0, I could try that. Taromon 13:24, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

No, it's the same in AOL. Taromon 13:28, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Then you should try Firefox. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 13:37, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I would but my computer's hard drive is practically full, I really cannot download anything more. Taromon 13:43, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh, okay. But it is better to use firefox because all the features of BulbaTrio works absolutely fine on it. Anyway, try to uninstall useless programs if you want free space. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 13:46, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Believe me, I've tried everything to free up my hard drive! Anyway, this is going a little off-topic now. I would really appreciate it if you could make the new theme work on IE, but there's no rush, I'll be patient! Taromon 13:49, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I hate this look and i don't have firefox. Personally, i think we should either revert back to the old look until it is fixed or have a thing like we do in the forums, choosing what display we have. SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch 16:56, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Which version of Internet Explorer are you using? That may play a role in your problem; I'm using Internet Explorer 8, and everything on that skin's showing up just fine for me. --Shiningpikablu252 16:57, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

IE8 s well, and everything is OK except the main page and every talk page. SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch 17:04, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, can you make it so that the buttons(article, discussion, ect.)aren't in the way? User:Crazylegs24

I'm using Internet Explorer 7, maybe that could be the root of the problem. I'm sure there's enough space on my hard drive to upgrade, it's not the same as downloading a whole new programme. Perhaps I'll have a go at that. Taromon 17:37, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Hmm...

• I'm wondering if there is a way to make Bulbapedia look like the old design. I liked it more. :( Raichu 17:19, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

My preferences → Skin → Monobook. 梅子^❄_❅ 17:34, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey, Bulbapedia is all messed up. Like I can't even welcome cause ther is text in they way. I like the design, but know i can't do anything. Mudkipluvr4ever 18:05, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Then go HERE, choose the "skin" tab, and change it to Monobook until this can be figured out. 梅子^❄_❅ 18:10, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

There's just one problem... the "Erika's Garden" logo is covering up the "Skins" option so it can't be changed. Taromon 18:13, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Exactly, i can't change it! Mudkipluvr4ever 18:15, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Maybe it's your computers. It's not covering it up for me. :V Tyro 18:17, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Read the "The new theme" discussion above. Taromon 18:18, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I know about Tyro's case. Hey Mudkiplu, which browser are you using? Well, I tried Opera, Chrome and Firefox, it is 1000% working fine on all of them. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 18:20, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I use Internet explorer. I could try opera i guess. Mudkipluvr4ever 18:21, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Taro is also using IE and he is facing the exact same problem. So, I guess the problem is in the internet explorer not bulbapedia. Try firfox or opera and then check whether it is working fine or not. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 18:24, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

It is working fine in Opera, but could you change it to work on Internet Explorer too? Mudkipluvr4ever 18:25, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

For those of you who are having problems changing the skin because the logo is in the way, I've just found a solution. Resize the internet window so that the "Skins" link goes below the logo. Then you can go to the Skins page and select Monobook. Hmm... Taro... I rather like that! Taromon 18:27, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Bingo, I knew it. Anyway, sorry bud I am not an admin and I think only admins can fix this problem completely. --♫♪Adyniz♪♫ 18:31, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry I can make do with Monobook for the time being. Um... we're starting to run out of space down here in the bottom right corner! Taromon 18:38, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

For me, the skin tab is totally missing. Is there something wrong? --LG^T 01:56, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

I am not even seeing a new skin or anything. If I didn't see this discussion, I wouldn't know there was a new skin. I am using Chrome if that helps find my problem. _Blake ^Talk·Edits 02:30, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

It's being worked on right now; if I'm not mistaken, the skins are currently disabled while it's fixed, so bear with it for a little while if you're still stuck with a buggy skin. (if you absolutely must edit now and you're seeing errors in the skin, download a browser that supports current CSS 2.0 standards, such as Firefox, Opera, or Safari. Internet Explorer is particularly notable for not maintaining web standards.) -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 02:34, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

What happened to the featured article section? - unsigned comment from Missingno. Master (talk • contribs) 16:46, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

It isn't here because the Did You Know is here. If the DYK is here, the FA isn't here and vice-versa. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 17:03, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

They switch every half month. ^Maverick_Nate 17:52, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

uhhhh... what?

I am using firefox, and Bulbapedia just looks like it used to. What did I miss? --GEN1KING 22:54, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
