Forum:My Wiki's home page doesn't show up properly with Firefox but works fine with Internet Explorer?

Hi. My wiki is: http://destructionderby.wikia.com/wiki/Destruction_Derby_Wiki

With Firefox, it doesn't show up properly: only the text is shown and the 'blue' background color doesn't show up - instead, the graphical background is shown!

The strangest thing is:
 * that in IE, it works properly
 * ONLY the home page is like this: the other pages on my wiki work normal
 * ONLY MY WIKI is like this!

What's wrong??

PLEASE KEEP A REPLY COPY ON MY TALK

 * Looks fine to me on FF9. It would be helpful with screenshots showing what is not right as we have no clue what you intend it to look like. Rappy 18:56, February 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Have you tried purging the page? Change &action=edit on the end of the URL when editing into &action=purge to purge (remove any old cache page) from both your browser and the caching server (which is used to speed up display time for all pages and reduce server load on main page, but can have as result the fact that you see old pages).


 * I see the problem on FF3.6.26, so this is probably specific to an old version of FireFox. I also don't see any background getting set in the CSS when looking at Firebug, so it could also be Wikia is detecting the old browser version and feeding it bad CSS. I would report this via Special:Contact/bug and include your browser type and version. Warning Wikia seems to be putting bugs with old versions of browsers low on their priority list. I've been living with a bug on FF3.6.x for awhile now where the side bar is below the main edit box in the source-only editor for awhile now (but it could be they don't care about the source-only editor). -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 8 Feb 2012 4:13 PM Pacific


 * Familypedia has an opposite (though possibly related) problem: its main input form - w:c:familypedia:form:Person - worked OK with most browsers until February 2010, then crashed on an update of Semantic Forms and has since not worked with anything except FF3. The world's best Semantic MediaWiki experts (including our Tim) have been asked what could be wrong but have not thought of anything that helps. -- Robin Patterson (Talk) 00:51, February 9, 2012 (UTC)
