Forum:New nav bar, new approach to videos

On 3 October 2012, the entirety of Wikia switches over to a different sort of top-of-page navigation. If you've been to w:c:community or many other wikis, you will have already seen this in action. We won't be switching before we absolutely have to, though, because of some fairly heavy modifications that must be done with it to make it fit in with our theme.

On 3 October, you will also note some other, slight changes to the layout, but they are mostly of assistance to the Wikia dev team and have few implications for us. If, however, you're used to making tables or other design elements that fill the entire content area, note that the new content width area is 670px. The new right rail width is 330px.

We'll also be experiencing massive changes to the RelatedVideos module on that date. As we're a beta tester for that feature, we're gonna hang onto it for a bit to see how these changes shake out. Basically, every page is once again gonna contain every video on the site. However, there are supposed to be some new tools coming which make it easier to embed the videos in the main body of pages. It's a bit vague at the moment, but we'll see how it shakes out. 20:18: Thu 20 Sep 2012
