There is a problem. Whenever I use Show Preview or Undo, it tries to load, then Internet Explorer becomes unresponsive. I don't know what is the problem. I use IE8. The MarioGalaxy2433g5 {talk/contribs/Logs} 23:55, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

  • I haven't seen that problem with Firefox. It could be your computer and/or your browser. Anyone else having the issue? - Brandon Rhea (talk) 00:00, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
I have a feeling it has something to do with the summary box. The MarioGalaxy2433g5 {talk/contribs/Logs} 00:01, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah but if it's your entire browser that's freezing, then it's unlikely that the problem is something on Wikia's end, particularly if no one else sees the problem. Do you know if anyone else is having this issue? - Brandon Rhea (talk) 00:12, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

No. I click undo, and then that window tends to freeze. The MarioGalaxy2433g5 {talk/contribs/Logs} 00:22, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
I clicked "revert" a few times today using IE8 with no problem. I didn't use Undo, sorry. — TulipVorlax 01:25, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
On Wikipedia (I'm guessing this applies to Wikia too), let's say a vandal vandalized a page in about four edits. Next, he removed it entirely in a few edits. If I go to revert all of his edits, it won't work, because it has already been done. As for freezing up, that's most likely on your end. Occasionally, I will save an edit and it will take about three minutes to finish saving and my browser will become unresponsive, same thing happens with uploading and other similar tasks. I use Flock, which is basically Firefox. Fingernails 02:02, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
It happens with all pages? It could happen if you try to undo a edit which changed a lot of content, because the diff is too big. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 10:30, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
