Heya,

I noticed your message earlier on IRC :) I brought up the issue with Wikia
briefly, though in the context of mobile browsing. I think it's a fair
point, as mobile browser usage is ever increasing, and Monaco isn't perfect
for small screens and simple browsers. Assuming you're not going to do a lot
of editing from such browsers, one workaround for the moment is to set up a
second account with your prefs set on a simple skin, to save you changing it
each time you visit.

Do many people use text only browsers? What kind of situations?

Regards,
George (Kirkburn)
