===Affected Articles===

I try to edit [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]] but everytime I press "Submit" it says there is an edit conflict, when I know there really hasn't been. I edit the text again and press "Submit", and it says the same thing again. Even when I go back to it after a while I still have the same problem.

<strike>I know of the following articles (there's bound to be more) that have not had any edits since April 2nd. All users see a persistent edit conflict message even when no such conflict actually exists. This is due to some sort of ISO Encoding error (or similar problem that Tom would understand) when the wiki was upgraded. The affected articles are listed below:
+
-
*[[dragon]]
+
-
*[[fingers]]
+
-
*[[japanese cartoon]]
+
-
*[[labor day]]
+
-
*[[techno]]
+
-
*[[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]]
+
-
*[[In Search of the Yello Dello]]
+
-
*[[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]]
+
-
*[[HRWiki:WikiTroll|WikiTroll]] (Cause for the most concern, as it is linked from the [[Main Page]].)
+

If anyone knows of other affected pages, please add them to the list above. Thanks! </strike>--[[User:The Paper|<sup>THE PAPER</sup>]] 22:13, 10 Apr 2005 (MDT)

''This seems to be a bug in PHP's gmmktime function which we use for converting timestamp formats. Specifically, it's incorrectly applying daylight saving time correction for timestamps between 3am and 4am on April 3, 2005. You can work around this by setting the timezone to UTC instead of local time. Trying add a line like this to your LocalSettings.php: <code>putenv("TZ=UTC");</code> -- [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Brion_VIBBER brion]''

== The buttons ==
This isn't important, but why are the buttons on the left still flat and white, rather than being changed to normal buttons (for example, they would be gray and 3D on Windows 2000) as on Wikipedia? While I'm here, I might as well mention that I haven't noticed any problems. On top of that, I can upload files again on the Fanstuff Wiki. --[[User:Uh!

:I tried "Kit," "Kickmyassman," and "kitscuzz" All of which (according to the login screen) were not taken.  What I'm actually trying to do is get rid of part of "[[User:unknown]]"s profile where he claims to be the "proud messanger of kitkorp.com"  Since I don't know who the person is it's really bothering me, because I am the kitkorp.com admin... --[mailto:kit@kitkorp.com Kit]

It seems that AOL temporarily freezes up on every page, and does so seemingly temporarily on the Weekly Fanstuff page. Might this have something to do with the move?
