Forum:Javascript required to login = bad

In searching for previous threads on this issue, I ran across one commenter, two years ago, saying that he'd gotten a reply "less than 1% of our readers browse with JavaScript turned off" as an excuse for not correcting a problem.

I am certainly hoping that that opinion does not hold true currently. For I am one of those people who browse with JavaScript disabled for the vast majority of the web, even on sites I trust. And I am very much distressed that recently Wikia has changed their login page to require JavaScript enabled in order to log in. That is, the main page's login button leads you to a login page, but with JavaScript off, all that shows up for me are two tab buttons, labeled Log In and Create An Account. These buttons are non-responsive in my current editing mode. I use Firefox 3.6.3, if it makes a difference.

Another useful tidbit: http://foo.wikia.com/__varnish_servername gives me "varnish-s3-SJC".

With JavaScript disabled, the controls to log in should still be visible. Please correct this problem. --Eirik Ratcatcher 17:50, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
