I upgraded to mediawiki 1.5.3 and a screen rendering bug showed up in Special:Version on IE 6. It works in Firefox. MediaWiki: 1.5.3 PHP: 4.4.0 (apache) MySQL: 4.0.24 With the setup above, the links for user data, skin, files, date format etc do not render properly on the screen. In fact they nor the enter buttons show up at all. Here is a screen grab. http://tinypic.com/imv4ef.jpg However, the links to the various prefsections are still there in the correct place (as you can see in the pic. Look at the status bar at the bottom when I had my mouse about at the x). You can click on the link when you mouseover fine, it is just that you can't see the text or buttons. All of the details for each section show up ok when you save changes (if you can find where the button is to click). I changed the background color of the legend to black to see if I could see anything and it almost seemed like it was rendering the text part under the details with the link still in the normal position. It is very interesting. The links are there like I mentioned but you can't highlight and select them in any way either, only click. Very strange behavior. I did another test on another server with the following setup. # MediaWiki: 1.5.3 # PHP: 4.4.2-dev (cgi) # MySQL: 4.0.26-log On the setup above it works fine in IE. I can copy the skins directory over from this server to the other to no avail. I have also done a diff on the source on both sides and they are identical. It seems like it could be specific to PHP: 4.4.0 (apache)? If I go to the server that works, view source and do the same on the one that doesn't work. I can do a diff on the output and it is virtually identical outside of a different wiki name and paths etc. However even on that server (that works) the screen renders strangely. Sometimes it shows all of the details for a few seconds before hiding all but the selected one in the legend. Other times, the user data details render at 100% across the content, and then it squeezes over when the legend finally renders. James
Please close the ticket. I got it. Sorry.
