Forum:Advanced RC for anons

I don't log in when I'm not at home and I don't like the advanced RC. I request that it be changed back to normal for anons. If there is some way to change it back for just one wiki, that will be fine. Everyone I have talked to at MA uses the normal RC. If we were allowed to choose, I'm certain the decision would be to use the normal version. --Bp 08:30, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I thought it was always off unless someone enables it. But ya, the advanced version uses JavaScript so for browser compatability it's supposed to always be disabled unless someone turns it on personaly. Dantman (Talk) 09:31, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Agreed. We are starting to get complaints about this. --Splarka (talk) 10:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Agreed, the advanced RC needs to be disabled. If anything, this is going to discourage people from using Wikia. I know a lot of people that will not touch sites actively using Javascript, for fear of malware and such. To have such an active feature on by default will make these people leave, rather than get interested enough to register. --OuroborosCobra 21:54, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Yep. I have JavaScript disabled by default, and if others do the same, they might think that the Recent changes is broken or malfunctioning because the triangles cannot be expanded. Also, the advanced mode may be hard to understand for some, especially new users, and the way it collates similar items may put things out of chronological order.

 * Same. I keep tabs of Kingdom Hearts and sometimes central up to watch for vandalism to check when I get a sec, and it's hard to understand :(  Scott ch 08:38, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

updateifyinateing
It is now toggleable with cookies (but still on by default for anons, however, it can be tried out by registered users easily). I suggested they make it a command line parameter like &showadvanced=1 too. --Splarka (talk) 08:17, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Suggestions
Perhaps we should make the normal RC default (since it appears to be more preferred) and have a option like "Show Enhanced RC" along with the other RC show/hide options?

Also, it might be better to turn edit on double click off since it's already causing some problems for some users. It's quite easy to accidentally click twice within the set period of detection time and when that happens, the editing screen shows, which may be quite annoying if that happens often.
