Forum:What The Heck Is Up With Galleries!?!?

Alright, as the title says, what the heck is going on with galleries? All of the pictures are lined up single-file vertically. This seriously takes up space big-time in galleries, especially on a page such as this, which focuses on displaying large amounts of pictures, making it exceedingly long, rather than compact and organized. I would like to know if there is a way to put the gallery style back to the way it was on a wiki?--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 03:08, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

I don't see anything wrong with it. I posted a picture of how it looks to me... If you want to take up less space, you can shrink the image size to a smaller number and that might help. MontagnaMagica|Talk 03:34, September 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Can you send this to Special:Contact too (if you haven't already)? I'd encourage people to still chime in here, because some other users may have had this problem too, but we can also get more information when you e-mail us in so we can see if this is a problem just on your end, if it's something with the wiki, or if it's a global bug. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 03:46, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

Noticed all my galleries were broken also the other day and thought it might have something to do with the transition. Put mine back with this from Wikipedia:

No, that isn't how the pictures look for some reason. They're in single-file going vertically. As far as I can tell, no coding has been changed, so I was thinking it might have been Wikia's doing. So, how can this be fixed, because it's the same on every article with a picture gallery.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 16:18, September 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * This has been happening on Memory Alpha to a few of our users as well, no ones been able to figure out what's wrong. - 19:28, September 29, 2010 (UTC)

That's wierd. That screenshot up there shows what the gallery should be like, but that's not how it is.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 21:25, September 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've experienced the same thing on a computer at work. The computer in question runs on Windows XP and has a (probably old) version of Internet Explorer. I've not seen the problem on any other computers. Väsk 21:58, September 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * It is the old version of Internet Explorer causing the problem. Internet Explorer 8 works fine, but 7 doesn't.  ZEM  talk to me!   00:42, October 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't find anything weird or not good on the gallery page. In fact, it is neat and organized. I liked it that way.

Yes well, it makes the pages unneccesarilly long. But basically, you're saying that this is due to my Windows 7? But how is that, when I've never had a problem in the year-and-a-half that I've been on wikis?--Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 15:23, October 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't know why it started having this problem, but it is Internet Explorer 7. I ran Internet Explorer 7 for quite some time before I had the problem, but then it just started. I installed Internet Explorer 8 and everything started working fine again. <font face="Arial"> ZEM  talk to me!   17:35, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

I am an administrator of Chinese Uncyclopedia (http://zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com). Some user reported this problem to me too, but I had hard time to reproduce this problem. After some investigations, I finally found that the problem only happens on Internet Explorer 6 (maybe IE7 too, as some user report above). We cannot request all users to upgrade their browsers, (and still, Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP SP3 is still supported by Microsoft,) we therefore request that to fix the gallery problem for users who is still using IE6. Thank you very much. And, as a rule of thumb of web development, before deploying a new feature, the developer should test it on as many browser as possible (and different versions, if possible - at least on the versions that is supported by browser developers - and seems this is only true for IE, since which IE version is supported depends on the version of Windows running).

To figure out this problem, I had to install a new virtual machine running Windows XP SP3 (just for an IE6 browser, thanks to Microsoft), and bingo! The problem immediately appears. After I took a screenshot, I upgraded that virtual machine to IE8, and bingo again, the problem disappears. Here is a sample. (http://zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/%E6%B1%BD%E8%BD%A6)
