Vector
Today I upgraded J-Ongaku to Mediawiki 1.6alpha, which allowed us to use the new Vector theme. Vector is the same theme that will eventually become Wikipedia’s default, so I decided to jump on it.
If you find any problems, please let me know here. Thanks for continuing to support J-Ongaku! 
Quincy are discussing.

I can’t create an account there at all. it gives me an error message. Also, when I tried to log in to an older account, it said it didn’t exist… even when using the proper password. I don’t know if anyone else has had that issue, but if so, it would seem nobody can edit the info right now, which is a shame since there were tons of articles I wanted to create/edit… just a heads-up.

Hi Quincy, sorry about the trouble. This seems to be an error from the last time I upgraded, so I’ve gone ahead and fixed that. Mediawiki seems to dislike lowercase usernames, so we hack it to make it like them. Unfortunately that hack seems to be missing every time we upgrade.
I’ll make sure that this never happens again.

Alright, just so you know, attempting to create an account brings up this message repeatedly: “Could not create account: ”
(That’s attempting to create one with any sort of casing – uppercase, lowercase, or mixed.)

Errr, “Could not create account (missing or incorrect confirmation code)”, I mean. I think I accidentally gave the second part HTML tags.

That’s most likely caused by the reCAPTCHA extension that we use to keep spammers out. I turned it off for now, as it probably doesn’t work with the upgraded Mediawiki. Let me know if you’re still having trouble and apologies for the inconvenience.
