Bulbawiki site issues thread

Will it be a permanent thing or will it be taken away at some point? It's a little annoying but tolerable for the most point., apart from the one time I had to restart my computer because it wouldn't get past the "just a moment" screen.

It shouldn't be permanent, but it's advised you avoid using a VPN in the meantime, if that may be triggering it in your case.
 
Is anyone else not a fan of the new design of Bulbapedia? Before, certain sections for a Pokemon like Biology and Game Date were in a drop down menu. You had to click the down arrow to reveal more info and it felt more neat and tidy that way. Now everything is available right away and that might seem like a good thing, but to me, it just means more scrolling to get to the section you want to get to and it just feels tedious to me. I created a wiki account just to change back to the previous style, but that still has the problem I'm talking about.

I'm sorry, but I don't like this change.

If you go to your Preferences page, you can change how the website looks for you by choosing a different skin under the Appearances tab. I didn't see the previous style you were talking about (though that could have been an error on my part), but the Vector (2022) skin has the table of contents in a sidebar that lets you click around the different sections of the article freely. (You do need to scroll down slightly from the top of the page to see it, because at the top of the page that side is taken up by the main menu stuff.)

ETA: I didn't miss it, none of the styles have the drop-down sections. So the Vector (2022) skin does seem to be the best way to approximate it. Also, I don't disagree with you, and I think having at least the option for the drop-down sections would be good for the site.

I got this message just a moment ago when loading a page: "Access to bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net was denied. You don't have the user rights to view this page. HTTP error 403".

Is the site having issues again, or is it from my side of the screen?
