Thread:Project:Support desk/Looking for a particular skin...

Currently on 1.17, using Vector with just enough modification to get advertising units in. The reason we haven't upgraded our wiki as of yet is because the changes to how skins work made it impossible for us to figure out how to get ad units in the necessary places, and we rolled back to 1.17 until we had some time to sort it out.

That said, we're not wed to using Vector. It feels a little busy in its sidebar, and we were hoping to find something fresh and new that would allow us the room to fit a couple of ad units (a horizontal ad up top and at bottom, a vertical unit on the side) cleanly to support the site. We've also been told we really need to be more mobile-friendly.

I've also generally found it difficult to come to grips with the changes to skins since 1.17 -- it used to be that you could just modify the skin files directly quite easily, but when we tried upgrading to 1.23 it was something of a disaster. Are there any good guides for modifying skins like Vector since the changes? Balerion300 (talk) 19:36, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
