I have noticed it (have you tried using negative margins to make it fill the whole screen?) and I don't think it's a good idea. We have a footer to satisfy legal requirements (Privacy, Terms of Use...). During the redesign, we even talked about getting rid of it. The solution we adopted was to have the footer be very plain so that it did not draw much attention to itself. By having a flipped version of the header as the footer, it would be drawing unnecessary attention to itself. Maybe we could have a more broad discussion about the footer? How about turning it into something actually useful? I really like Mozilla's footer with useful links (mozilla.com). It's far too tall, but maybe something smaller would be more suitable for us. What do you think? In any case, I have nothing against matching the footer in the Wiki with the one we have on the website.

I doubt many people (if any) use custom skins, and most of them look awful (i.e., having serif fonts as the default) On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 4:03 AM, ccornell - OpenOffice.org <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > One of the things we lost in the changes to main.css is the red link for > links to Wiki pages that do not yet exist (called "Wanted articles" in > MedaiWiki speak).

I have already sent you a fix for that and you uploaded it a few days ago - you might need to CTRL+F5 :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
