User blog:Kirkburn/Technical Update: January 6, 2015

Happy New Year, everybody!

This week's release will occur on Thursday, January 8.

Here are the latest technical updates at Wikia. Note that we change hundreds of tiny details every week, so these are just the highlights.

Major Bugs Fixed

 * An error that prevented avatars from being changed on some wikias will be fixed.
 * Table sorting will no longer stop working after the first sort attempt.
 * Opening dialogs will no longer cause the page content to shift upwards in the background.
 * Fixes for an issue that could sometimes prevent wall notifications from appearing for newer wikias 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.


 * The scrolling behaviour of banner notifications will be improved (e.g. the green 'Your preferences have been saved' bar).
