Since then, there seem to have been several intermittent power outages.

I don't really see that as much of a problem though, as those pages are really only used by people who know what they're doing with Javascript.

| − | Hi, in Google Chrome, when clicking on the search box and dragging to the right, the search box, buttons and the "Search" header slide off the screen to the left. This only seems to happen in Chrome as it didn't happen on Firefox when I was told about this. Thanks, [[File:SolarDragonName.png|90px|link=User:Solar Dragon]] <sup>([[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:bgreen">Talk</span>]] - [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Contribs.]])</sup> 07:18, 13 May 2012 (EDT)

| − | :I'm not really sure why this is happening. Has it always been this way, or did it just start with the new search system? Could you take a screenshot? --[[User:Jake|<span style="color:#008000;font-weight:bold;">Ja</span>]][[User_talk:Jake|<span style="color:#E58900;font-weight:bold;">ke</span>]] 07:10, 18 May 2012 (EDT)

| − | ::Screenshot uploaded. Not sure when it started happening and was only told about it on the 13th. Since I don't normally use Chrome, I would have no idea. <span style="text-shadow:2px 2px 2px gold; font-family:Elephant">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span> <span style="color:green">Dragon</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:black">Talk</span>]] <span style="color:white">'''•'''</span> [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Contribs.</span>]])</sup></span> 07:19, 18 May 2012 (EDT)
