We've added a dropdown menu at the top of all wiki articles, to make it easier for visitors to navigate directly to various different articles.

Please note that the menu is a third-party solution, and is not part of the wiki software. It may not work for all browsers* or platforms, but we'll try to update it, when the author releases new updates or fixes for it.

If it doesn't work for you, or you just prefer not to see it, you can click its [dismiss] link, and the menu won't appear again on that computer. (Cookies need to be enabled/permitted, to support this.)

Please feel free to make any comments or suggestions, or bug reports. Again, it's not our code, but we can see if there is a fix for it.

*If possible, try a different browser, or update your browser to its most recent version, to see if that makes a difference.

I can't see the menu at all.The menu won't appear, if JavaScript is not enabled in your browser, or your firewall software blocks scripts.

Check your browser or firewall's preferences/options.
I dismissed the menu. How do I get it back?Delete/remove this web site's cookie from your browser.
Where do I find the cookie? How do I delete it?Instructions differ, depending on the browser, and version that you're running. Check your browser's options/preferences, and you should see a way to show or remove cookies. Look for a 'pinataisland.info' cookie and remove it.

If you're stuck, check your browser's built-in help for instructions. If you're still stuck, try Google.
I don't like the menu!You're welcome to post specific details about what you don't like, and we'll listen to any constructive criticism or suggestions.

Aside from that, you can take advantage of the [dismiss] option to make the menu go away for good, or contribute to the wiki, improving the menu or wiki for you and many others.

If you're signed in to the site, you'll now see the dropdown menu, at the top of all wiki (http://www.pinataisland.info/viva/Main_Page) articles.

We'll be enabling it soon for anonymous visitors, after initial feedback.

I just want to point out that FeralKitty is using the term "we" pretty loosely. This was 100% FeralKitty's work, and all of the credit for this great new feature should go to FeralKitty.

I think it looks great!
