For those who have no clue, there is a new skin in town called "Battlestar". Based of the Eureka Wiki design, we migrated it over here to the BSG Wiki. To check it out change [[Special:Preferences|your skin preference]] to "Battlestar".

: Something for me to do... I'll have to add new add zones for this skin, since the sidebar column is wider than the monobook-based skins to make the ads look better. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 01:05, 23 September 2007 (CDT)
::Looks nice, but I'm gonna stick with bsgbook. Battlestar has the article/discussion/edit/history tabs underneath the page, which I find really annoying.

:::It's actually at the bottom ''and'' top. The design itself is nice (although it takes some getting used to), but it's terrible for widescreen. Only a small part of the screen in the middle is actually used for the article, leaving huge chunks of empty space at the sides. While that makes it easier to optimize an article's layout, it just looks bad. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 08:08, 23 September 2007 (CDT)
::::I'd have to agree on the widescreen part, it does waste a lot of space. I wonder if we shouldn't make a version of this that has a varying width. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 09:21, 23 September 2007 (CDT)
:::::We could make a version that would be larger width. Right now on my laptop and the resolution is 1024 and it fits perfectly. :P Making different sizes is no problem, it's the sizes we should have. 1280x720 would be the other size I work on as it's more common for desktops -- it remove about 2/3 of the black on both sides. My desktop monitor supports 1900x1200 which would cut the black on the outside by half. However, I will only do that once I nail down the design elements.

::::::Yeah, that's what I was thinking. We'd have the new skin (Battlestar), then we'd have a version for widescreen resolutions (Battlestar Widescreen). Obviously, once you iron out all the wrinkles in the skin, then work on the widescreen version. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 12:11, 23 September 2007 (CDT)

Quote of the day.

Why was the quote of the day section removed from the main page. That was one awesome section which automatically updated daily, and gave us some kind of dynamism in the main page. It would be really nice if that could be added back. I don't have rights to edit the main page. So, some one with rights should do it. -- CylonU87 05:32, 23 February 2012 (EST)
