Back in the days when I had only had sticky/announce/etc rights on the BA subforum, whether or not I could access it did depend on which forum I was viewing.
You didn't understand what I meant. You're saying basically what I was saying originally, however, when you access the mcp, it's going to be more or less the same no matter where you are.
Edit: I just double checked and this is wrong. The forum uses the current page as a referrer, so nevermind all that I said.

(1) wiki lost its nav bar,

1. Trivial
2. Trivial, just needs someone to go through the templatees again. I'd be willing to have a look but I imagine flozi has a convention that he wants to follow with them.
big fat note about #2
The test site database is not in sync with the main site, and it cannot be so for a lot of reasons. Wiki templates are stored in the database.
For the stupidest reasons known to man, the forum, site, wiki, mantis, etc are all stored IN ONE DATABASE. On a scale from one to white girls I can't even with how bad of an idea that is. Anywho, that means that changes that are stored in the DB cannot be done preemptively, they must essentially be done live.
Sure, you could jump through a bunch of hoops to store them locally and reapply, but ain't nobody got time fo dat.
3. If people here didn't resist every single time we tried to turn the website into an
actual fucking website, maybe someone with some skills might actually bother to fuck with it. However, apparently wordpress isn't open source enough, and the other CMS platforms are primitive in comparison to the point that no one wants to fuck with them.
Currently the main site makes tripod and geocities look like pinnacles of web development.
