Description Boris Bokowski

When you are not logged in, the wiki has the standard mediawiki tabs (Page, Discussion, View Source, History, Edit). Then you log in and cannot find those tabs any more - they have moved into the left nav bar, and overall the look isn't as clean anymore (it's the old purple-heavy look).

Could this be changed such that at least Edit and History are easier to find, i.e. in the standard location? Maybe it's as easy as using the same look for the not logged in and the logged in modes?

I'm not able to replicate this on Safari 4.0.2 .  Can you provide a screen shot and browser version?

It almost sounds like your 'default' skin is set to the old Phoenix skin.  If you look at your preferences under skins is it set to Eclipse or EclipseNova?

Yep, that was it. I didn't even know about the ability to change the skin, so it was not something I have set myself. Is there a way for you to see which users have the old skin instead of the default one? Would it make sense to set it to EclipseNova for everybody who has the old skin, under the assumption that this was not a conscious decision on the part of the user?

I get questions about how to edit wiki pages every now and then. So far, the answer that helped has always been "look on the left side and click the well-hidden edit button there". This seems to indicate that I am not the only one who has the "wrong" skin.

+1 for a fancy SQL statement that moves everyone over to EclipseNova.

Done, everyone that was using the old Eclipse skin has been updated to Nova.
