Forum:Checkbox: "Use Awesome / LeanMonaco"

About 20 hours ago I was using this site and all was good. About an hour or two ago I returned to wikia to find that my wiki pages at any community were appearing in a format that can perhaps best be described as no frames view. It took a while to figure out the problem but I zeroed in on the user skin preference check box: Use Awesome / LeanMonaco

I recall first checking that box over 2 weeks ago and it had caused no problems for that period of time. Just what triggered the recent rendering problem I do not know but clearing that check box was certainly the remedy.


 * It is hard to believe that others have not been affected by this before now and yet a search for "LeanMonaco" and "Awesome Lean" gave no hits!

If you run into such a problem with your wikia web pages then remember this tip and try it earlier on than I did to potentially save yourself frustration. najevi 18:29, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It was checked for me.
 * I didn't do anything and it's not checked now. — TulipVorlax 19:11, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I've checked it back, i dont have any of the decribed problems. — TulipVorlax 19:12, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The checkbox was/is a temporary solution to allow admins (or anyone) to preview the new version of monaco coming out soon. 'LeanMonaco' will eventually replace monaco entirely. It should be a mostly behind the sceenes change (a different/faster way of loading and caching skin css and js), and improvements on the widget system, and large chunks of site js have been ported to use jQuery rather then YUI, meaning less overhead to load per page. Once it goes fully live, the checkbox should go away, and you would never know the difference. If you do notice anything strange/broken (especially anything javascript related, PLEASE make sure to let us know so it can be fixed asap) --Uberfuzzy 19:54, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
