Forum:Touch-Screen Device Skin Changes Rolling Out

Hey all, just wanted to give you guys a heads up. We have released some new changes on our iPad skin this afternoon. This is not a complete redesign of the skin or really a rethink of any of the elements.

What this does entail however is improving the usability of the Wikia global navigation bar and the wiki navigation bar. And by 'improving' I pretty much mean it functions now!! Hooray! (Previously, the interaction was very glitchy and often unproductive.)

So if you see any issues with this rollout or hear anything from your user base, this is why. Any bugs should be sent to Special:Contact. —This unsigned comment is by DaNASCAT (talk • contribs) 23:38, 2011 August 19 (UTC). Please sign your posts with !


 * Really? I used wikia with my ipad today and saw no changes, i think maybe its because my afternoon is your morning. --TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs) 23:50, August 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * What is the actual useskin= parameter name for the iPad skin? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 20 Aug 2011 11:02 PM Pacific


 * And does this work on an iPod/iPhone as well?


 * There's no  for the iPad as it's the same skin, just being rendered on the iPad browser (this should still be basic Oasis). I don't believe iPod and iPhone are affected by this, as they are actually on the Wikiamobile skin. --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 19:49, August 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * So it isn't a skin per se. Also, the iPad browser is Safari and it should not be dramatically different from the iPod Touch or iPhone one, just more screen real estate. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 23 Aug 2011 9:04 PM Pacific
