Main Page tags
I had to [ revert] Sannse's edit to the Main Page because it moved everything over, and did not work at all, if you look at the page history. This is only temporary; can someone figure out how to use the main page tags properly? 22:41, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks fine to me. What appears wrong for you? What browser and OS and resolution are you using?--Richard 00:48, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think I figured it out. It was probably the poll that was screwing the page up. I've added some code to Common.css that should fix it now.--Richard 00:53, 3 July 2008 (UTC)


 * No, it still isn't working. Just look at the image! And it's not because of quartz, on Monaco, two advertisements showed up, and the GE watch overlapped the maintop. 03:03, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see one problem. You've put the poll before the maintop. 03:05, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Whoa, what have you guys done now? The maintop is a square in a column! Why not change it back to the first version? It was fine then. 13:01, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * What have you done to the polls, Richard? Just look at my userpage. They stretch out across the whole page. 13:54, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

The code I added to MediaWiki:Common.css does that. I had to add that code or else the poll on the Main Page stretches off the screen and makes the Main Page look horrible. You can still adjust the size by doing something like: Who is cooler? Me You

which would pop up as:

Who is cooler? Me You --Richard 16:48, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Column balancing
It's apparent that the way the main page is set up now, the columns are never going to be balanced on all (or even many) resolutions and skins no matter what we move around. I can't really think up a solution to this - does anyone have any ideas? Skill 01:26, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The old Main Page was a lot better than it is now, even on Monaco. Just look at [ Quartz]. Can't we get rid of the block advertisements, or move them? 20:47, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, the ads are part of the conditions of using Wikia. But we have now removed all ads for logged in users except these two on the main page.  So we are doing everything we can to keep ads to a minimum -- sannse (talk) 11:52, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Languages
Hi, "Norske" should be "Norsk". No 'e'. Please tell me how I can find it myself for future needs. --  12:39, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Can't it be both ways? You can change it on the maintop. 22:38, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It depends on what you're trying to say: "Norske" means "THE Norwegian", as in "The Norwegian Runescape Wiki". Whereas I think it's trying to say "The RuneScape Wiki in Norwegian". I've just now checked Wikipedia, and it says "Norsk" on it's left-hand menu, so I'm sure that's the standard. 10:32, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism?
Did the main page just get vandalized? it says "CUT THE ECONOMY" and theres a strange picture covering most of the page. 71.191.135.10 06:02, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Um....yes....(i never post but i hope im doing this right but yea front page got owned) --67.163.31.44 06:04, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

this is strange and I had no idea how to revert it. says cut the economy {with cut having a slash thru it} several times on the side with, "This page curtosy of Hiwispees, Got Haggar", there is also a thing that links to google... is it template ! perhaps... we need to get this fixed and fast.

 * Right. I'll fix it in a sec. I wonder how it happened... 06:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Chicken, after you fix, can you tell us how? I am also at a total loss on this.--216.136.67.145 06:22, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Who can even change the main page? --67.163.31.44 06:23, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Any user with an account more than 4 days old can change it...but since the vandalism is not in the history that I can see, they did it some sneaky evil way.--216.136.67.145 06:26, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

oooo, sooo..... It'll be fixed.......EVENTUALLY?--67.163.31.44 06:31, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

All fixed :D It was done by someone adding stuff to Template:Wikia Gaming. The template shows up here though. It was very sneaky but I suspected this. I checked but must've missed the template on the Recent changes. Thanks everyone. 06:37, 6 August 2008

Errr, hate to be a spoilsport, but the page is funny looking, that template on the right is kinda smushed over everything.--216.136.67.145 06:40, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

yeah i have a pretty good resolution and its still bunched up on the right. somebody should fix. 208.58.26.153 07:31, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you explain better? I've seen the Main Page on both Firefox 3 and IE7 on a computer with a resolution of 1400x900 and it looks fine.--Richard 16:55, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The resolution of the monitor I am on at work is 1024x768 and the entire right side is overlapped with the content in the middle. However, all of my resolutions at home work fine. 17:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

1440x900 and the right side is overlapped. I'm using firefox3 btw. 208.58.26.153 16:15, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Sigh* Some immature children editing the pages. I went on the "Quests" page, it was vandalized by the same kid. -an
