User blog:Rappy/Technical Update: February 25, 2014

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.

Major Bugs Fixed

 * Forums and Message Wall threads were not always showing the latest content. This fix is already live.

 * New user accounts were not listed in Special:Log/newusers. This fix is already live.
 * Lazy Loading behavior improved for images within scrollable divs.

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.
