==Display irk==

Not a major problem I know, but for the past few weeks, whenever I log into Wikipedia it displays using the old 'standard' skin that went out a little while ago, no matter what. The other skins I choose in Preferences will all display properly, but not the most modern 'standard' - I can only see that if I am not logged in. I think the current standard looks a lot nicer than the old one, but I can find absolutely no way to use Wikipedia with it if I am logged in.

Any ideas as to what's up? Many thanks!

:The current default skin is actually the one called "MonoBook", not the one called "Standard"; just select that in your preferences, and it will display the same when logged in as when logged out. It's probably not a very good idea having something called "standard" that's not standard any more - perhaps we should try and come up with a "proper" name for it. "Classic" would be a possibility, but not a very good one, since we already have a "nostalgia"; "phase3" would be a bit dull (and meaningless for most users). Hmm, I think I'll post this to the mailing list... - [[User:IMSoP|IMSoP]] 10:09, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

:::Aha, thank you! I feel a bit silly now, not having noticed that the new standard was MonoBook... Anyway, thanks for very for your help! [[User:Angmering|Angmering]] 15:07, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
