Forum:Article pages won't show on monobook

I'm really frustrated at how the Monobook skin is screweing up on me at the moment. I can't log into my account now for the time being because when I do, I can't see a single article, except for the tabs at the top of my page. I'm not sure if it's my browser or my computer itself, but I can't even change skins because I can't see the preference options either. I don't know what's happening, and I just wanted to leave a message for a friend... 24.83.117.204 18:35, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

I have the exact same issue. I've tried loading pages on three different browsers but it's the same thing on each. I'm unable to change to another skin the part of the page that lets me pick a skin won't lead either. Extremely frustrating. 66.74.166.140 17:21, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Please contact support with details, such as the wiki, and username. --Uberfuzzy 19:13, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have the same issue. Which wikis are affected? All of them! Username seems rather irrelevant in such conditions. None of the pages work, neither the articles nor the special pages. Here's an illustration of what it looks like on two different wikias: link. It worked fine still yesterday evening (GMT). I don't want to have to use Monaco because it's far too slow and its intense javascripting makes it more annoying than helpful. The clean, sober and fast style of Monobook is greatly superior IMO. Obviously many people prefer Monaco or it wouldn't be the default theme everywhere now, but please don't get rid of Monobook! (Likewise, I don't like to use this WYSIWYG editor. Wiki syntax is far too rich to be reduced to formatting like it does, and it keeps inserting dozens of useless &amp;nbsp;s everywhere.) --Gez 9:17, July 25, 2010 (GMT)

 * I've switched to monobook and have no problems. Please, specify concrete pages and which browser. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 09:04, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

Explanation obtained from here: to foil ad blocking plugins, the content of a page is entirely put within a " " block... Since this only concerns Monobook, which is not the default skin, that means that the only people affected are those who are logged in and aren't supposed to see ads anyway. :/ This is therefore both dishonest and useless. --Gez 13:18, July 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * This does seem quite odd, creating problems for no discernible reason. --Tlosk 11:31, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
