Right, basically, ?pedia can only moan and winge about this very loudly, so iv started this to get everyone to put their thoughts onto this as wikia want input on how to make it better, as it doesn't look like we are going to get rid of it, we may as well try and help to make it better.--Silent Penguin 18:57, 31 Aym 2007 (UTC)

I don't like it too much, personally. I miss the 'create this page' function, mainly. Also, that star with the word 'beta' in sucks. I also don't see the point in searching other wikis - seems like another Wikia ploy to promote their site to me :-)-- Hindleyak  Converse?blogClick here! 19:57, 31 Aym 2007 (UTC)
Functionally, the main issue seems to me to be the lack of options for namespaces to search in. Apart from that, I'll basically second Hindleyite. --Fluffalizer 20:31, 31 Aym 2007 (UTC)
It is Web 2.0. Web 2.0 is what this website is built on. 18:44, 4 Yoon 2007 (UTC)
So it may be, but blindly applying the fashion so called (which in itself is unrelated to so-called "Web 2.0 technology", ie. the same old stuff, only put together to form more dynamic sites) is only annoying and cheesy. --Fluffalizer 19:33, 4 Yoon 2007 (UTC)
I know. I do have a web design job working for myself. I know all about webby stuff. I was just making a blatant generalisation, much like your average stupid manager might do. "Web 2.0 Style Stuff = FANCY MUST HAVE" even if they don't do anything. 19:44, 4 Yoon 2007 (UTC)

On a somewhat related note[edit source]

I like the floaty new sign-in box. -- Hindleyak  Converse?blogClick here! 21:43, 1 Yoon 2007 (UTC)

Floaty sign in box?--Silent Penguin 21:45, 1 Yoon 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, instead of taking you to the sign-in page, a pop up window type thing appears. Works for me anyway. -- Hindleyak  Converse?blogClick here! 21:47, 1 Yoon 2007 (UTC)
Very handy it is! 18:44, 4 Yoon 2007 (UTC)
