Ok "I was born" in the new skin and I vaguely remember how it was with the old skin as IP, so I say I like the new skin over monobook since it lets do more customizations like backgrounds, BUT (and this is a big but) the content width seriously sucks, sorry for the rudeness. Using a normal infobox causes serious space problems, and it's virtually impossible to use two pictures at the side in the same row (not that I like it though). If the width was like the main page, then it would be almost perfect. On this note I still have to understand why Wikia makes a big fuss over changing the width, since the advertisements are all in the top and in the bottom, even if you have a small resolution you will always see them (or not?) and the right side rail contains only Wikia stuff, so they can make an exception for it in their ToU (or make a range of widths allowed). That's the Wikia behavior that I don't understand for the recent message wall "update" too: if only they would let the users have more degree of customization or more freedom choice, like change the wiki width or make message wall optional, most of the complains will be gone. I still cannot understand this behavior because it seems counter-productive to me.
