Help!

I was wondering if you can help me with a minor issue i seem to have developed with my preferences?! I changed my skin option to the 'chick' setting and now, none of the links to the other option headings within my preferences page will work-they just don't do anything so i'm stuck with no way of getting back to my original settings! Is bugging me but is also probably something I've done wrong (that kinda thing usually is!). Would be grateful if you could help me-thanks!Greebo cat 21:27, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Greebo cat!
Are you using Internet Explorer? Apparently, the "Chick" skin doesn't work very well in Internet Explorer. Just as an experiment, I tried the skin in IE, and, like you, I couldn't change it back afterwards. Do you use Firefox, Greebo? The links are clickable in Firefox, and you can change the settings back. Plus, the latest version of Firefox has a spell-check function built right in. I will report this bug, for the record. Let me know if you still have problems. Best, Firsfron of Ronchester 23:04, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Firefox is free; you can download it for free at http://www.firefox.com . From what I can tell, the Chick skin problem was reported in 2005, so I'm not sure waiting for a fix is a good idea! Good luck! :) Firsfron of Ronchester 00:14, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Brachypodosaurus

Hey Greebo!

I'm glad you were able to get your settings fixed. That "Chick" skin is pretty annoying. Anyway, about Brachypodosaurus: I removed the bolding, since we only need that once, at the beginning of the article. I put the sentences in paragraph form, and changed the wording slightly. It still neds a fix at the beginning, though, because it's listed by its binomial name while still being listed as a genus. I'll try to think of a clever way to rework the opening so it's accurate.

Anyway, thanks for expanding the article. WikiProject Dinosaurs still has a hundred very short articles just like that. There are many more very short dinosaur articles listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs/shortest articles, so if you're interested, feel free to expand any of them.

Happy editing! :) Firsfron of Ronchester 17:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
