User blog:Kirkburn/Technical Update: November 4, 2015

Here are the latest technical updates at Wikia. Keep in mind that our system updates happen every Tuesday and Thursday - today's notes are for tomorrow's site update. Also note that we change hundreds of tiny details every week, so these are just the highlights.

New Features

 * Following on from the launch of tabbed images, portable infoboxes now also support collapsible groups! This feature is live right now - see this section of the help page for more information.

Major Bug Fixes

 * The action of unticking the "Hide all" preference for the "My Favorite Wikis" profile section will no longer be mysteriously reversed.
 * Some additional fixes around Facebook plugin localization will go live.

Other Notable Changes
Detailed CSS updates can be found at http://report.wikia.net - the diffs show changes to .css, .scss, .tmpl.php, .html, .sass and .mustache files in Wikia's codebase.


 * For security reasons, the Verbatim feature will be retired later this week. Please see this forum thread for more details on why this change is being made, and how to deal with it.

Select Known Issues

 * We are continuing to look into incorrect thread anchor links, and we're also investigating an issue causing some forum boards to disappear from view.
