Is it just me, or are the black section headings above the white article titles incredibly hard to see? They are placed on top of predominantly dark images, doesn't just make them hard to read, some of them are nearly invisible. Couldn't they just be made a similar color to the article titles themselves? ] (]) 14:34, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

In the current issue, it seems like each article's image is the same size but some articles' below-the-image text is one line whereas others are two. Because it appears to use automatic packing rather than fixed-height for the text or grid-layout for the entries, that means the items in adjacent columns lower down the page are misaligned with each other. ] (]) 05:29, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

:{{ping|R1F4T}} - try it now. If you are on the article page, click on the talk tab and then the "edit" or "+" links on the top line. This should work automatically every time, but I think sometimes for the first comment a bit of code gets accidentally removed in the prepublication process (and then it should be just like creating any other talk page). Maybe if the comment was removed while you were typing, you'd get messed up. Maybe if you are commenting on an old article, something different might be happening. ]<sub>(])</sub>

Vandalism Removal

I've just found out that an IP removed me and another user from the list last month. Could we do something to prevent that? Thanks Nobody (talk) 14:56, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

@Alien333 it was announced, for me at least. ''']''' (talk • contribs) 15:33, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

@R1F4T: - try it now. If you are on the article page, click on the talk tab and then the "edit" or "+" links on the top line. This should work automatically every time, but I think sometimes for the first comment a bit of code gets accidentally removed in the prepublication process (and then it should be just like creating any other talk page).
