Forum:Unintended highlighting

The new versions of all Wikia pages have a tendence to highlihgt pages whether you want them to be highlighted or not, especially when you scroll down. I can show you two examples, of where this is a problem.



I've seen this on other wikis too, but I'm not going to scan all of them. To be honest, I don't even know if the images are going to show up in this post, and I can't rely on the preview function in order to find out. DanTD 20:06, August 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Both these pages display properly for me in Firefox 6. You might want to try another browser to see if you still have this issue. If not, then it's Internet Explorer's fault and you should report it using Special:Contact. Actually, you could report it regardless if it's the browser's fault or not. — Sovq 20:58, August 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * DanTD, I'm not sure what you mean by "highlight" in this context, but from the screenshots it appears that the pages are simply loading incorrectly. This could be a sign that your internet connection is problematic, that the browser you are using is outdated, or that the Wikia server you are connecting to is having issues. I suggest you check for issues with your connection and then (as Sovq mentioned) upgrade to a different internet browser application. --Gardimuer { ʈalk } 21:02, August 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Per Gardimuer, your browser is outdated - it's IE. You need to get Firefox or Chrome to prevent problems like this from happening.


 * I don't have enough rooom on my PC to add more browsers. DanTD 14:14, September 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Internet browsers typically do not take up much space. Firefox, for example, only requires 200MB of hard drive space. That is roughly 2/10ths of a gigabyte. Google Chrome requires even less: 100MB.
 * If your computer doesn't have a gigabyte of space to spare, then you have a serious problem and should consider upgrading/cleaning your hard drive. --Gardimuer { ʈalk } 23:16, September 6, 2011 (UTC)
