==Re-confirming E-mail address==

Ever since the upgrade, I am finding it difficult to email anyone via the wiki's '''E-mail this user''' link.

Under the "Email" portion of "User data" one will find a way to have a new e-mail address confirmation sent. I am fairly sure this has affected all users. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 14:07, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

I had something similar happen to me, although my page is not on my watch list. Does anybody have any suggestsions? ~Isaac Smith

I still can't figure out why it's doing this. I've moved to a new computer, and logged in there, but I didn't think that that would fix it. Hmmmm... ~Isaac Smith

:Isaac, you may want to try manually clicking on the "unwatch" button on your user talk page. For some reason, our watchlists were not backward compatible, meaning that the system might tell you that you don't have any pages on your watchlist, even though you still do. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 02:38, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

When I get a new message, I check it, but when I go anywhere else after checking it, it still says, "You have new messages" and the last messages were the ones I checked. HELP! - [[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]

I seem to alweys have the "You have new messages." orange thingy above the page. I already read what was sent to me and repleyed. Why won't it go away? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 12:05, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Is it possible to fix this without the workaround? I like having my talk page on my watchlist. It's frustrating to have to unwatch it each time I get a new message. Speaking of this, it now seems impossible to add my talk page to my watchlist. I click "watch," but nothing changes. (Speaking of watchlists, regular talk pages have become temporarily separated from their article pages. If I want to reestablish the connection between the two, I have to manually unwatch and then re-watch the article.) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 13:33, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

<s>Argh! The same thing is happening to me! I can't remove my talk page from my watchlist because it says that I have no items on my watchlist. But I know it has to be on my watchlist because the page title is in bold on Recent Changes. I just can't see to get rid of the banner or remove the page from the watch list! Please reply ASAP!<br>

PS: I tried adding this page to the watchlist and both this page AND User talk:The Chort have turned up. I can remove this page but not the talk page! Stupid Wiki!<br>

PPS: It's gone! HOORAY! Please ignore everything above this line.<br></s>

Just for the record, I got rid of the orange template thingy by adding my User page to my watchlist and then removing it. I think that sorted it. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 17:17, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

==Talk page watchlist==

Here's something that's driving me mad. When you watch your talkpage, the new message sitemessage won't go away, right? So I unwatch it. The thing is, everytime I get a new message, it starts watching it again by itself. I looked, but it didn't seem like this problem was addressed here. Any suggestions? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:15, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:It looks like the way the talk page is added to the watchlist has been changed. First of all, you no longer can manually add it to your watchlist. If someone sends you a message, your talk page is automatically watched. When you check your talk page, it is automatically unwatched (now that the bug above has been fixed). I don't know whether this is a separate bug or an intentional new feature. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:55, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

== Edit conflict ==

-
Obviously, the mechanism for determining whether there's an edit conflict has been enhanced to that if different sections are modified at the same time, a conflict doesn't necessarily occur. Is there some page somewhere that details the new functionality? In spite of it, however, I was still able to accidentally revert some changes with [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Teen_Girl_Squad_Issue_10&diff=172151&oldid=172150 this edit] (the hidden comment) and had to fix it [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Teen_Girl_Squad_Issue_10&diff=next&oldid=172154 here]. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:38, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:What should happen is that it detects whether the section you were editing has changed. If not, it merges your changes into the article, regardless of any other edits.
 
-
:That said, I'm not sure why you had that happen to you, unless you had an edit conflict PRIOR to that and then copy/pasted your version to overwrite the other one. I've yet to see such a thing happen on Wikipedia. --[[User:Pidgeot|Pidgeot]] <small>[[User_talk:Pidgeot|(t)]] [[Special:Contributions/Pidgeot|(c)]] [[Special:Emailuser/Pidgeot|(e)]]</small> 23:43, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah, it's the [[MetaWikipedia:Help:Edit conflict]] technology.  I think your situation might have something to do with your [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Teen_Girl_Squad_Issue_10&diff=172150&oldid=172149 previous edit], which dealt with that very text.  Of course, I have no idea, but that's my best guess.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 02:14, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
