It looks nice, but basically, it doesn't work with EQ2i.
- Left sidebar custom menus are now listed along the top instead. Only space for four items (i.e. the Community menu is not showing). And worst of all, sub-menus are not working - only the top levels of each menu are shown.
- Right sidebar is now shown on all articles! This drastically reduces the available horizontal space. Even right-aligned images are hundreds of pixels in from the right side of the browser.
- When editing, the "Tips" left-hand sidebar messes up the alignment of the editing frame. I suspect the skin is designed for the WYSIWYG editor and doesn't really support our basic editor.
Now, let me follow all that complaining by saying, basically, the new skin really rocks if we can resolve these issues. It is way cleaner, with sharper fonts and less clutter, and looks about a decade more modern than the old skin. It would be really nice to make it work for us.
To me, the lack of sub-menus is the deal-breaker. With those broken, for example, one cannot easily find a link to these Forums. We really need a solution (from Wikia?) to getting our sub-menus to show up on the new skin. -- Sassinak 03:49, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
