::Well, I can confirm that it's pointing to the correct Answers site. And since it appears only when users are un-logged, it doesn't really affect me personally. But in theory I don't like it, because it makes it seem to the inexperienced user that the Doctor Who Answer wiki and this on are one in the same. And they're really not. I find DW Answers to be sort of a "wild West", lawless kinda place where anyone can say anything they want. While there are technically admin there, I'm not sure what they do. I've seen completely nonsensical answers to basic questions about DW. I'd rather not promote it in any way, and in fact have removed a link we once had to that site. | ::Well, I can confirm that it's pointing to the correct Answers site.

::Still, if we're obliged to participate in this test, I'd like to at least make the box fit in to our layout. Can you please provide the CSS element name(s) so that I can, at a minimum, apply a transparent background, header styling and fonts that match the rest of the site. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} | ::Still, if we're obliged to participate in this test, I'd like to at least make the box fit in to our layout.

:::I don't know them offhand, but you should be able to see the CSS elements using Firebug on Firefox or Google's inspect element feature. There should also be an overriding CSS sidebar element (i.e. class="sidebarbox") that should let you customize /any/ upcoming box. --[[User:daNASCAT|daNASCAT]] http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png <small>([[w:c:community:Forum:Community_Central_Forum|help forum]] | [[w:c:community:Blog:Wikia_Staff_Blog |blog]])</small> 15:25, May 16, 2011 (UTC) | :::I don't know them offhand, but you should be able to see the CSS elements using Firebug on Firefox or Google's inspect element feature.

::::Cool, I just thought you might have the element name to hand. Here's another question for you, though. I can appreciate that Wikia might need to use us as a guniea pig. That's cool; I've no intention of trying to opt out of the test period. But can we know when the test period ends, so that I can '''make sure''' it's turned off at the earliest possible date? And if it becomes permanent, will it be a TOU violation to turn if off? As I said above, I ''really'' don't like our Answers counterpart being given front-page prominence. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} | ::::Cool, I just thought you might have the element name to hand.

::::Yes, I will try updating all communities currently being tested if and when the test period ends. However, yes, it would be against the Terms of Use to remove an element from the sidebar. --[[User:daNASCAT|daNASCAT]] http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png <small>([[w:c:community:Forum:Community_Central_Forum|help forum]] | [[w:c:community:Blog:Wikia_Staff_Blog |blog]])</small> 20:22, May 16, 2011 (UTC) | ::::Yes, I will try updating all communities currently being tested if and when the test period ends.
