Got questions? Feel free to ask!

#time Codes
Are #time codes based upon the user's time, the reader's time, or just UTC? BST has jsut started and I have had to correct my sig, but I don't know whether other users in different time zones will see the incorrect time. <- Time corrected with +1

Time codes are UTC. They are not relative so what you see is what others see. P.S- Monchoman:I feel like you talk page gets about as many questions as staff these days--


 * Time codes are UTC unless you specify an offset. It should actually correct itself automatically (Google's showing 15:24 right now), so you might have double corrected. But I'm not exactly the most time-aware person, so I'm not 100% sure.
 * Also, Godisme - I think so too. I had been waiting for a period when I didn't have any active questions so I could archive my page for a few weeks. Managed to sneak it in last night, as you can see.
 * Above, I had corrected to match BST. So based on that sig, Godisme answered my question 57 minutes before I asked it. :D
 * Have went back to UTC as it makes things easier for everyone.

Link color issue
It's me again! ;) I have a link color issue, maybe a conflict between several CSS things. Look here, in the right menu. "Add a Page", "Add an image" and "Random Wiki" have as "visited" the same colors as the in-article links, but I'd like them to stay white as they are before being clicked on. Do you know where and how I could fix that?... Thanks. Klow 15:06, March 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's odd - those aren't supposed to change at all. When you changed the link colors, did you do it with CSS or the ThemeDesigner?
 * CSS. I never saw any "visited" in the ThemeDesigner... Klow 19:29, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * The ThemeDesigner doesn't mind normal/hover/clicked/visited, it just sets them all at once. I'm not noticing any problems with the random wiki button, nor with any of the other buttons - in fact, none of the links seem to change color when visited.
 * Click on one of the 3 buttons, you'll see the text will turn brown... Klow 19:38, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I fail - I had my global.css override on. Yea, the buttons change when you click them. To fix that, instead of doing all links, use, which will only change the links in the header and the content area.
 * Doesn't seem to work... :/ Klow 20:24, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh. It changes the colors in the top menu! Not really what I expected... Klow 20:27, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Turning off Wikia's hover menus
Monchoman45. Has anybody figured out a way for editors to turn off the Wikia hover menus at the very top? In the personal CSS or JS of an editor. I want the menus to continue to work by clicking on them. I just want the hover part to stop.

I spend a lot of time waiting for those hover menus to go away. They are always popping up because I frequently go to the tabs in my browser. --Timeshifter 20:17, March 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * You'd have to convert the onmouseover listener to onclick. It can probably be done, but it seems like a better fix would just be to remove them with CSS. They're not really that useful to most people anyway.
 * Hell yeah it's extremely annoying. I guess it's purposely done so that they are sure we always click on them, by mistake or not. So how is it removed?... Klow 20:26, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * They're mostly for search optimization by bots, and for the random anon users that don't edit and just want content. It's really just there to make them money, doesn't really serve a purpose for most editors. Which is nice, because I really don't feel like paying to use Wikia. You can remove it with.
 * I actually don't want to remove them, just that nothing happens when you hover them. Klow 21:12, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Try this in your JS:

 function KillGlobalNav { $('#GlobalNavigation').unbind; }

addOnloadHook(KillGlobalNav);
 * That should do it.


 * In Common.js? No change... Klow 21:23, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

(unindent) Make sure you purge the page, and make sure it's in a personal JS file.


 * Ive tried both of these solutions now and neither works for me even after clearing my cache. I use ctrl+F5 to clear it so am I doing this wrong?--
 * Me too. I put the code here in User:Klow/global.js, and no results... Klow 21:46, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. What about ?


 * Neither the css nor the js you provided worked for me--


 * I just tried the CSS, and it definitely works. The JS is using a function I don't completely understand. I still think it's best to just hide the menus.


 * CSS still won't work for me. Ive purged the page several times and still nothing. Perhaps I am adding it wrong? Have a look User:Godisme/global.css--
 * Looks right to me. Odd, I put it in mine and it goes away for me. Possibly an override you have somewhere? Try adding  and see if that helps.
 * So could you sum up what to paste where exactly ?... :/ Klow 17:08, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

(unindent) They should go away if you put  in wikia.css or global.css. I still have to look in to the JS thing that only disables the menus, though. Might be worth just hiding the menus with CSS, instead of stopping them from displaying.


 * Thanks, Monchoman45. The CSS hides the global menus when using the CSS here:
 * http://cannabis.wikia.com/wiki/User:Timeshifter/wikia.css


 * I can go to the community wiki here to see the menus. I still see them fine here. --Timeshifter 18:39, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Moncho
Hry Machoman, hows it going, have you noticed that when you log in, into wikia and you go to another wikia you are logged in and if you visit a second wikia you're not logged in and you have to log in again, is it another glitch or something? Niko Banks Whats up gangsta!, 05:59, March 29, 2011, (UTC)


 * Some people still have login issues, presumably from the MediaWiki 1.16 update. But I haven't heard anything about logins not transferring wikis - you might want to Special:Contact about this one.

Fan
You have a fan user:Monchowoman45--
 * Yea, I saw. No big deal, I Special:Contacted already.
