Forum:Number Lists

Hello again. I think you're going to have to get used to the fact that I'm only going to come around here if there's a problem. Sorry.

Well, I'm not sure why, but your numbered lists are broken. Watch:


 * 1) Normally
 * 2) there was no problem
 * 3) here
 * 4) but now,
 * 5) all the numbers show up as 1.
 * 6) no matter how far down the line
 * 7) you go.

You guys seem to have to changed the coding for these lists, can you change it back so that its not broken? This problem seems to only exist in Internet Explorer (Firefox users, I know you people have found God in your operating system, but please do not ask me to switch over as you always do). --Blue Highwind 13:06, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I can verify: it works fine in Mozilla Firefox, but it doesn't work in Internet Explorer. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 13:28, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The HTML of this page look fine in both IE7 and Firefox 3 :

 * Although line breaks are weirdly placed, it should not matter. Maybe on the CSS side ? — TulipVorlax 15:00, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * switch to firefox to find your new god. Ohhh 07:31, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Why switch anything ? I have 4 browsers (and i could have more). Want me to explain why i dont like Firefox ? This would be off topic... — TulipVorlax 05:41, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Wait. Why don't you like Firefox? It's what I'm using right now. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 14:09, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I've noticed this too.--Happyface

Lets see how this works with HTML markup
<ol> Test line one.</li> Test line two.</li> Test line three.</li> </ol>

Hmm. Very interesting. This is not a wikicode problem as it is also messing up "proper" HTML. Maybe it is a style sheet issue. David Shepheard 07:12, 17 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I've used the 'Contact Us' feature to bump this upstairs, as it seems pretty obvious that normal wiki editors are not going to be able to fix this problem. David Shepheard 07:17, 17 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Well thanks. — TulipVorlax 11:51, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

I want to let everyone know that the problem has been found, and it has been fixed in the code. I do not know when that code will go live on the servers, I will add a note on the ticket to see if it can be pushed out of cycle. --Uberfuzzy 19:43, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Interesting. Master JonathanJedi Council Chambers 07:34, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh i notice they were alinged at bottom but not that numbering was good. I wonder what cause the misalignment as there's no CSS propoerty i know of to valign bullet... — TulipVorlax 07:52, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

And bullets ?
On this page : http://fr.guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tonique

In the the table, bullets are vertically misaligned (in IE7). Is it related or is it another problem ? — TulipVorlax 07:05, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * test
 * of
 * the
 * alignment
 * test

yes, also known and reported. no fix on this one yet afaik. likely the same cause since both are only happening in ie (and it seems like its 7+ too) --Uberfuzzy 09:15, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * No fix ? Ok, i'll report back to the complaining sysop on fr.gw... — TulipVorlax 02:07, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Number_Lists?&useskin=cologneblue - this renders fine in IE for me, probably a monaco thing. -- Sixorish 16:52, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It's broken in Monobook as well, however. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 00:35, 26 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Even searching the web high and low i cant find an HTML or CSS way to vertically align bullet. Or maybe my search skill arent top notch on this perticular topic. — TulipVorlax 03:08, 26 January 2009 (UTC)


 * found this one, may be it can help (suggests to use background instead of list style):

ul{ list-style: none; } li{ padding-left:15px; background:url(bullet.gif) no-repeat left center; }
 * --Darth Igel 19:48, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

There was supposed to be a fix for this out today - but checking with IE7 and monobook, there is still an issue. Sorry about this, I'll follow up tomorrow when the tech team are in the office -- Sannse 20:56, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The thing suggested by Darth Igel would break some things on some wikis where we have a différent image in li:hover. Sure, we'll only need to adapt some CSS but it's alway a pain. Lol. — TulipVorlax 11:49, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Things are looking good. The fix should work for Monobook as well as Monaco now -- sannse (talk) 09:02, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Is it live ? Because bullets are still misaligned for me. But maybe it's IE8 fault. He now use compatibility mode by defaut on Wikia, i think. — TulipVorlax 12:04, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's live, and bullets and numbers look fine to me in IE7 now (with Monaco and Monobook). I does sound like it might be an IE8 problem now -- sannse (talk) 13:01, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Wikia appears to be on IE8's compatibility mode list atm - though I don't think it needs to be. When I did a bit of testing after IE8RC1 came out it was actually worse in that mode >_< If you switch off the compatibility list, it may help (Page menu --> Compat. view settings --> Include updated website lists from MS) 13:13, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I first downloaded IE8 in early 2009. As soon as i visited my first Wikia page, i saw the layout of the page all wrecked with icons of the page bar all underneath it. So i set it in compatibility mode and things got as it was with IE7.
 * A few days ago, there was an update on Windows Update page for IE8 that added that compatibility list. I could deactivate it and manage compatibility mode myself as i was doing before.
 * But i dont think.... Ok, going to try.... — TulipVorlax 15:22, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Is this supposed to be live here on Central? Because I'm still seeing vertically centred bullets on IE7. --Azkar 15:26, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * (Edit conflict)
 * Done.
 * Bullets higher on this page are now correctly aligned.
 * But now, i see bullet on the li elements you used in the new edit bar under the edit window.
 * I'll report any others smalls bugs like that i will find.... TulipVorlax 15:28, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Bullets and numbers are still misaligned to me on IE7 - bullets vertically centered, numbers vertically bottom-aligned. Hmmmm..... Master JonathanJedi Council Chambers 18:26, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Maybe you need to clear the browser cache ? That was why i was asking if it was live yet.
 * I have another problem linked to bullets and the bar under the edit windows (and IE8 perhaps); when i clic the publish button, it move and i need to clic it angain. Lol. — TulipVorlax 19:22, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Does this look correct? Each major number is incorrectly aligned with the each last minor number. Eddie 01:25, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) one
 * 2) one.one
 * 3) one.two
 * 4) two
 * 5) two.one
 * 6) two.two
 * 7) two.two.one
 * 8) two.two.two


 * Now that i'm back on IE7 (i uninstalled IE8...) i can confirm that the alignment problem has not been fixed for IE7. I see the same as Master Jonathan. — TulipVorlax 04:49, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Strange... I see it correctly. I'm using IE 7.0.5730.13 - what version are you on? -- sannse (talk) 10:04, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm using IE 7.0.5730.13 too. Eddie 19:24, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm using IE 7.0.6001.18000 and neither the numbers nor the bullets are properly aligned to me. Master JonathanJedi Council Chambers 19:27, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm on almost the same version of Sannse but last number : IE 7.0.5730.11.
 * I'll see if i can update it. — TulipVorlax 21:07, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


 * It seems that i can't. The only thing i got on Microsoft/Windows Update is Windows Search (wich i dont want). There isn't any masked update.
 * Maybe uninstalling IE8 got me to a not current version of IE7.
 * I just checked on the other computers here, they have the latest version (same as sannse).
 * Maybe i should not have tried IE8. — TulipVorlax 21:22, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, both bullets and numbers are still displaying incorrectly, so I've kicked this upstairs with the Special:Contact feature. Hopefully this will get fixed soon, because it's driving me crazy. Master JonathanJedi Council Chambers 19:49, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * /me takes it from the queue, and kicks it even higher. Ok, this is frustrating for us too guys. We're going get to the bottom of this list crazyness. --Uberfuzzy 20:12, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, you need to get to the top of this, since that's where both the bullets and numbers should be aligned. :) Master JonathanJedi Council Chambers 20:30, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm also getting this unaligned bullet thing (using IE7). I'm so disoriented. :-( --Hawku 21:16, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It also weird to note that sometimes they're bottom aligned and sometimes middle aligned. — TulipVorlax 23:45, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Working Again
As of right now it appears ordered and unordered lists are working again. Eddie 13:47, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It's working for me, too. Thanks, staff! Master JonathanJedi Council Chambers 17:21, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I think it's ok site wide for me on IE7.
 * I may return to IE8 as soon as it will be in Windows Update (I know the final version is there but i dont care for now). — TulipVorlax 21:41, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
