User blog comment:Lost Labyrinth/I think Oasis is coming.../@comment-1432401-20100908065054

I have to admit I don't believe the current bugs to be related to the new skin. There has been problems with the images for months and about 2 weeks ago, they did some changes, deleted all thumbnails and re-generated them. The last thumbnails problems seem to have been fixed, though this isn't certain.

The blog comment thing has also almost always been broken since you either can't link directly to a comment or new comments wouldn't show up in your watchlist.

In my opnion the new skin isn't "coming" any faster than it was yesterday. Remember that it is still in beta testing and probably will be for awhile longer. Wikia has set a tentative time of "Fall" for the initial release, which then let's "Oasis" (which is a working title, not the final title) be an optinal skin which you can choose. Editors are encouraged to help out the Skin Project, by customizing it to the colors and layout that we know and love. After that there will be a time period until Monaco is killed off and "Oasis" becomes the default.

If you experience Wikia being slow, please right-click and show source in your browser, scroll to the very bottom and see the "Served by ap-s5 in 0.068 secs. cpu: 0.060" comment. This tells you what server handled your page view and how long it took the server. Unless the numbers are high, the problem may be at your end.
