Problems with main page

I've been having a few issues with the main page. I can't click on the 'discussion', 'view source', 'history' or 'watch' buttons. Those buttons work on most other pages, so as far as I know, it's just this page. Also, these errors only occurred after the update. Cacnea7642 16:00, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Everything seems to be working fine on my end. Does anyone else seem to be having this problem? --Pokemaster97 16:30, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
Are you using Google Chrome? Because I am having the same issue with Chrome but it seems to be working fine in other browsers, which is very weird since I never had such problem with Chrome in the past. ♫♪ エイディニズ ♪♫ 17:39, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
Firefox won't let me click on any of the main page tabs other than article. --Charlie (talk) 17:50, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
After a bit of investigation, I think I've found and fixed the problem. Because of where the fixes were (i.e. not on the page itself but other pages that this depends on) it may take some time for the fix to actually take effect on your end. If it's still not working after giving it a day clearing your cache, let me know. Werdnae (talk) 23:44, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
It's all working again now Cacnea7642 15:55, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
At the end of the page, where the boxes appear (Enciclopediae Pokémonis and Nintendo Independent wikis), the reference to Bulbapedia is a redirect. As far as I know, it's a little stupid to have a link leading us to the same page! TheOriginalOne 10:40, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
I don't see what you mean TheOriginalOne. That link to Bulbapedia is linking to the home page of our site, if it didn't link to the mainpage (where we already are) then what would it link to? --Pokemaster97 16:10, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
It doesn't make sense to have a page linking to itself, so I think we should put the word "Bulbapedia" in bold, without linking to anything; the bold sign would indicate the users that they're already on the page. TheOriginalOne 14:54, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Quotes

Can we make a ``Notable Quotes`section? TeamPlasmaN1212 (talk) 21:11, 22 July 2012 (UTC) On second thught, blast that. TeamPlasmaN1212 (talk) 18:30, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

I meant thought. TeamPlasmaN1212 (talk) 18:31, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

You do know you could have just edited what you said rather than making more clutter? BisumitoIsSnazzy (talk) 18:52, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Just curious;

On the main page, it states that Bulbapedia is supported by Bulbanews, Bulbagarden Archives, and Bulbagarden Forums. Shouldn't that mean it's supported by the National Bulbagraphic, too? Excuse me if this is an obvious question, I had just joined today. BisumitoIsSnazzy (talk) 18:27, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

I think it's a good idea too but I just submitted yesterday so don't know how much my opinion counts.....Insert Pokè-name (talk) 06:13, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

I don't think "supported by" is the correct term. They are all parts of Bulbagarden. The National Bulbagraphic is a part of Bulbanews. --SnorlaxMonster 07:42, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
National Bulbagraphic is currently not in production. —darklordtrom 09:20, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
Is National Bulbagraphic specifically discontinued? If so, should its link in the Bulbagarden links section to the left of the page simply be merged into Bulbanews or the Bulbanews archive?Squirrelfeet (talk) 22:45, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

I have a question...

Okay, so lately, with the release of Black and White 2, Bulbapedia has put news from it on the front page. Just out of curiosity, are they going to go back to putting articles daily on the front page? JacobtheDoduo (talk) 20:37, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

It's been pretty much decided that we're going to stick with just leaving the news feed up. It was very time consuming to replace the featured articles every day and we felt that this was easier. --Pokemaster97 20:45, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
Thank you. JacobtheDoduo (talk) 20:47, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
It was fun reading daily featured article in the past. I sure hope Bulbapedia goes back to posting daily articles. It's been confusing to see the same twitter feed everyday "SimonOrJ"(U/T/C) 21:27, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

When is black and white 2 going to be in the U.S.

Hey, do you know when is black and white 2 going to be in the U.S. - unsigned comment from Chezalpern (talkcontribs)

This page is where you should look at first before asking questions about it. To answer your question, it's October 7th. --It's Funktastic~! (talk) 22:11, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
Are we having a countdown for it on the front page, like for Black and White? - signed comment from GoldenCelebi (pedia talknews talkarchives talk) 18:16, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
A MediaWiki update broke our counter and we haven't been able to find a suitable replacement yet. So no, we won't be. Werdnae (talk) 19:39, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

National Bulbagraphic

Is National Bulbagraphic specifically discontinued? If so, should its link in the Bulbagarden links section to the left of the page simply be merged into Bulbanews or the Bulbanews archive? Squirrelfeet (talk) 16:05, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

In an above statement under the section "Just curious" a similar question was asked, and the darklordtrom stated that National Bulbagraphic is officially discontinued. Please make sure to read above sections before posting questions :). Thanks. (Charizard101 (talk) 20:03, 30 September 2012 (UTC))

Unova Pokedex

I was browsing Amazon the other day looking at prices of stuff for the TCG when I came across the new Unova Pokedex from Jakks. I was wondering if I could make an article for the item since we also have an article for the Diamond and Pearl one. I believe I have enough information to create an article, though I can't upload pictures, so someone else would have to do that. (Charizard101 (talk) 20:21, 30 September 2012 (UTC))

Images aren't loading

Well, most of the. I first noticed this on Dewott's page.--Goomba98 (talk) 15:32, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

No images that are normal (as in, they're hosted on Archives; the logo near navigation is fine) are loading for me. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 15:34, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
Same here, I thought I messed up somewhere while editing. I hope the staff are aware of the issue and are working on it. TheyCallMeMellowCello (talk) 18:20, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
The images on that page appear to be loading fine for me. Maybe check that your addons are not blocking the images? Werdnae (talk) 18:31, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
I disabled all my Add-ons, and pictures are still not showing up. This doesn't just happen on Dewott's page, but other pages as well. Edit: I checked an image itself (the ones that are not showing up) and I get a 404 error. Maybe this is because of the server move? TheyCallMeMellowCello ♫♩♪ (talk) 18:40, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
I think it may be your cache drawing the images from before the move. The images might be at different locations now. Clear your cache. --Abcboy (talk) 18:56, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
That did nothing. Images still aren't loading for me. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 19:08, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
If possible, you should be able to see the images by switching to another computer. I am not sure if going to the Archives page for each image would help the issue, but it would if the cache is cleared before hand. Super goku (talk) 19:16, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
