The chat fix is great. Hated having to change browsers (and change window size every time) to use chat the way I'm used to. Not sure if this was caused by the update but for some reason the wikia bot either malfunctions (like or here where the welcome message is from the last active editor and not the last active admin and posts on "Empty"s wall) or fails to work at all and therefore new contributors don't have the standard user page made for them or the welcome message.
