This page describes known problems and issues with the Wlug Wiki theme and proposes resolutions for them. In general while we endeavour to make this Wiki work (and look OK) on all browsers and platforms we do have limited resources and time, In cases where trade offs have to be made this site will be optimised to work best on Mozilla Firefox under Linux.
For things we should do to the code (rather than just to the theme), see WlugWikiCustomisations.
-
-!! Font Sizes
-There is a known issue with font sizes using both Firefox and IE in Windows. This is caused by the Wiki stylesheets use of the ''medium'' font size keyword. Unfortunately these browsers use 16 point as their default font size making the wiki text look abnormally large. Due to the current output generated by PHPwiki using nested tags we cannot use a keyword such as ''smaller''. While this would fix the problem for Windows users it is highly likely to shift the problem to Linux users.
-
-This issue will be resolved once the WlugWikiConversion issues have been resolved either through the use of browser specific stylesheets, or most probably a user preference system which will include the ability to provide an offsite stylesheet.
-
-* Do you need to specify the size at all? The standards say "medium" means the default size for normal text. MSIE thinks "small is the default size for normal text. If you leave out definitions, normal text will default to being default size anyway. --DouglasBagnall
-
-!! Firefox 1.5 and above
-
-Newer gecko rendering engines have a bug rendering the menu tabs along the top of the site. In particular they needlessly wrap the rightmost tab onto the next line.
-
-This has been filed upstream as [Mozilla Bug #327898|http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327898]
-
-!! Layout
-
-Someone pointed out that the front page doesn't mention we're a LUG with meetings or where we are. You get this from WaikatoLinuxUsersGroup at the earliest; also, there are more hints in the sidebar, but with Konqueror, he didn't find it on by default.
!! Minor Display / Stylistic Issues
* InterWiki link prefixes usually clutter up the rendered page. F.ex., every single ~WikiPedia: link on the wiki is of the form <tt>~[foo | ~WikiPedia:foo]</tt> because *noone* wants the damn "~WikiPedia:" bit showing up on the rendered page. So the prefix should not show up on the rendered page. Instead this information would just show up as "foo on ~WikiPedia" in the link's title attribute.

''Can't see the problem here, the CSS has no hover rules for anything remotely related to that div. Page validates fine. I blame a bug in IE. Unlikely to be fixed unless someone can show me a bug in the CSS. -- MattBrown''
* The page title in the header could do with being a couple of px higher, to align it in the box (looks worse on IE than on Firefox) -- CraigBox
