Perbook css and firefox 5.0
Perbook css doesn't work in Firefox 5.0, but perbook javascript works. See Turkish/Pronunciation_and_Alphabet/Consonant_Classifications_and_Harmony, in this page tooltip for words and suffixes, which uses perbook javascript, works without any problems. But tables are not shown correctly as their style codes are stored in the perbook css page. I hope this gets fixed soon. Srhat (discuss • contribs) 15:28, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- I guess this could be a MediaWiki or Firefox issue. "Firefox is not loading my stylesheet" suggests maybe MediaWiki, while "Website not loading stylesheets correctly" suggests it could be a Firefox issue. Either way I think this isn't something that we can probably fix on our end. --darklama 17:09, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
Bottom Border of Table Sometimes Vanishes
Hi,
Can anybody please advise me why the bottom border of tables vanish at times, usually after scrolling. They then reappear so that the effect is intermittent. ?? See the tables on Freewheels_and_Cassettes. Thanks. Armchair (discuss • contribs) 11:44, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
- Are you referring to the tables inside the drop-box "Pitch for Rear Cog-sets and Predicted Shifts for Mixed Drive-gear" ?
- If so here (FireFox 3.6.18) they show correctly, what is the vendor and version of your browser?
- Or it can be an issue with the graphics card/driver etc... --Panic (discuss • contribs) 15:27, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
It happened mostly with the table on the main page. I have been using Opera 11.50. I will check with Firefox. Thanks. Armchair (discuss • contribs) 16:41, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
CSS is not loaded on secure server
If I go to any page on secure server Google Chrome shows that the site is trying to load a lot of nonexistent CSS files:

Could someone fix MediaWiki:Common.css by replacing the @import rules by the content of the CSS pages? This would make the CSS to be sent minified by ResourceLoader and also save 11 requests for all users! (compare with w:MediaWiki:Common.css) Helder 13:42, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
- Looks like the developers broke relative URLs again. This looks like a mediawiki regression/bug again. AFAIK when it was working right, ResourceLoader was combining and minifying it all so 11 requests weren't needed. --darklama 14:37, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
