User blog:DaNASCAT/Technical Update: April 3, 2012

Here are the latest technical updates at Wikia. Keep in mind that our system updates happen every Wednesday, so we’re posting this on a Tuesday to give you advance notice. Also note that we change hundreds of tiny details every week, so these are just the highlights.

It's a relatively quiet week this week...

Major Bugs Fixed

 * Blog post listings were not updating with new posts within the usual cache time.
 * The "restore" button will once again appear when working with your favorite wikis list for your profile header.

Other Notable Changes

 * The "Restore Edit" feature will be removed for this week while we try to diagnose and improve visual editor load time issues.
 * As a reminder, video files are in the process of being migrated to new URLs. For more detail, see our blog post.
 * Thanks to the great response we received in last week's Technical Update about the new CategoryIntersection extension, we've given it a bit of a design facelift (and fixed the IE bug) so it will be even nicer this week.

Select Known Issues

 * Wiki backgrounds do not seem to be updating as expected after making a change in Special:ThemeDesigner
 * Expanded wiki navigation is broken in Internet Explorer 8.
 * The toolbar is missing from the bottom of the browser on Message Wall and Thread pages. (It's still there -- it's just in a static position above the footer).
