Um… what happened to the UI of the RayWiki? I’m sorry for complaining, I just enjoyed the old UI, it seemed much cleaner

There have been no changes to the UI of RayWiki as of late. Could it be that you triggered the desktop or mobile view on the wrong type of device?

Oh, sorry, I was just confused, it kind of looked like Wikipedia for a bit, which I found weird, maybe it was just me. Thanks

I do get a few times where the RayWiki only loads the default MediaWiki theme despite being in desktop view even on my computer, but it usually fixes itself after a few seconds or a refresh, so try to refresh the page the next time there any issues and yet you're not in mobile view.

Speaking of which, how come the desktop view has a dark green and yellow skin while the mobile has the default skin? I’m glad you’re able to switch between mobile and desktop themes on raywiki, something I think the main site should implement if phpbb allows it

Due to the way MediaWiki works, the code that was written to design our desktop theme cannot be reused for our mobile theme. Someone would have to do it again from scratch, and I don't see any volunteers at the moment.

I could possibly do it, if it’s as simple as just making the theme

You'd have to write the entire CSS code for it.
