Hi guys, just wondered if anyone else had experienced some strange changes on the site the last few days? I've noticed the following changes, and was wondering if it was restricted to just my profile or not:
- The edit box is automatically loaded with only 3 lines. I can expand the box, but the next page will again load with only 3 lines of text visible. Previously it loaded much bigger (perhaps 20-30 lines). I can't remember if it was adjustable or not previously, but it always seemed to be big enough to not need adjusting.
- When clicking "preview" after making an edit, the preview is now given BELOW the edit box. Previously, it was above the edit box, with the categories at the bottom of the page. Relating to the first point, it also reduced the edit box back to 3 lines.
- Clicking on the recent changes link goes to the recent changes, but nothing is displayed as it defaults to 0 edits in the last 0 days.
So, anyone else noticed these? Manoof (talk) 22:52, July 22, 2015 (UTC)
- I noticed this yesterday, but resetting my preferences to default seemed to have fixed some of these. - AV-6R7 (talk) 22:58, July 22, 2015 (UTC)

- RE: Recent changes: Yes go to your preferences and change the default number shown. I had to change it to 25 and then back to 50. Also, make sure you select the Use advanced recent changes so it groups all the edits to an article together. <-Omicron(Leave a message at the BEEP!) 00:18, July 23, 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks, that worked for me. ProfessorTofty (talk) 14:37, July 23, 2015 (UTC)
- Wikia is working on some user preferences maintenance. For whatever reason it's been having an odd effect on some Monobook preferences. Those are being worked on, and a new fix went live today. Should be fully resolved soon. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 20:28, July 23, 2015 (UTC)
