== Chat malfunction ==
Sorry to have missed you in chat. The thing affecting chat was no big deal in the end, but something consequent to the fixing of our unique problems with Darwin on this wiki. 
A little background first. For reasons not yet adequately explained by the engineering team in Poland, some pages on the wiki simply won't go fluid.  Their maximum width was that of fixed mode.  They'll collapse okay to tablet width, but they don't fully expand.  Examples include [[Special:SpecialPages]], [[Special:CSS]] (when enabled), [[:Category:Inorganic substances]], [[:Category:Users]], [[User:JWSchmidt]].  It's not just one namespace, or a page using a certain bit of local code, or anything that has an obvious pattern.  Oddly, too, some pages are at ''different levels'' of "fixedness".  Open a wide window at [[:Category:Users]] then overlay it on a window of the same size opened to [[:Category:Users by language]].  The page width is off by about 50px.  And it's honestly not a local javascript issue, because they only thing the engineering team ''thought'' it might be has been turned off for a day now, they've hard cleared the cache from their end, and we're still having the issue.  Still, there's no local js ''at all'' now and this issue still persists.
It's a very irregular problem.
As such, I've been thinking outside the box and added this to the CSS:
<pre>
.WikiaPage,
.WikiaPageContentWrapper {
    position:relative
}
</pre>
That actually ''did'' help some pages.  But not all of them.  And, '''it turned out to be the thing that had "broken" chat'''.  If you do that to chat, then all the elements, as you'll probably know, get thrown out of whack. While that CSS code was enabled, there was no visible list of current users, no advancing column of chat, no ability see anything you'd typed in — nothing that could be clicked on save the wordmark.  It was completely unusable. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 19:55: Sat 14 Sep 2013</span>
