Forum:No more Monobook?

What happened to the simple Monobook? All there is now is the complex junk. I just want to keep my user interface as simple as possible. —This unsigned comment is by GhostlyDeath (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with !


 * Monobook hasn't been the default style for a long time now. You can set it in your preferences, though. Go into your preferences, click Skin, and then select Monobook. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 15:58, February 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Admittedly, reports have it that the skin setting will constantly reset to Monaco. Just FYI. -- sulfur 16:06, February 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've done this for awhile, but today this is no longer an option. Although Monobook is selected, it does nothing, only the default theme is used. "Let admins..." is disabled. There is no monobook preview either. GhostlyDeath 16:11, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I couldn't agree more. This place look's like a tip, and as much of an experienced contributor I am, I don't have a clue what on earth I'm supposed to be doing! WHAT'S GOING ON?-- 16:15, February 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I also heard that the skin automatically resets to Monaco, which is probably due to that simply being the primary skin of Wikia's MediaWiki software version. Althought, there are ways to avoid this setting, for example: http://fr.guildwars.wikia.com/index.php?title=Guild_Wars_Wikia&useskin=monobook  ( C rynsos Talk 16:19, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Something's broken in the skin system this morning, we're working on fixing it. Please stay calm and be patient. --Uberfuzzy 16:21, February 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Good to hear that. I've been trying to set the skin back to Monobook multiple times... thinking that it is the browser's fault or something. Could this be due to the move from Central to Community Wikia? 16:24, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * It appears to be happening on every wikia. Man, monaco is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. We really should have monobook as a choice for a site's skin. I don't know how people stand looking at... Karate Jesus  16:26, 4 February 2010
 * It appears Monobook is back! Thanks. GhostlyDeath 16:40, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks Wikia. Finally... 17:21, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

I think you'll find Monaco is quite simple, and more with the times. Try it out. -- LordTBT Talk! 20:39, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * BRILLIANT! Thank you! That thing was uglier than my face...-- 21:49, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
