I realise there is already an Infosphere related topic, but that was on a specific issue. This topic shall remain more general. But first of all, let me inform you of the good news. Since its humble beginnings, the Infosphere have had issues with its placement, especially due to increase size and visitor flockings. Indeed, the Infosphere have demanded more from its host than most other Futurama related sites. For these reasons, the Infosphere have changed hosts on several occasions, but they have always felt 'temporary', and not until now have the Infosphere found its true home. A virtual machine purchased in the German Hexonet (so it is hosted in the same country as PEEL and CGEF, how you like them bananas?), with enough firepower to maintain this lone wiki for all its needs. In addition to that, the data centre grants us (or more specifically; me) full control for a Debian 4.0 machine, so now any down time can be fully blamed on me. I hope to keep it in the five nines. However, such a commodity does not come cheap. In fact, 33EUR per month with taxes. So, we are currently looking for people, among other entities, willing to donate for the future of the Infosphere. The new IP for the Infosphere is now: 88.80.201.89. So either, cache refresh your DNS or edit your hosts file. Alternatively, the new site can be found at fut.sviip.dkAnd how do you know you're on the new site? The big notice at the top! -- The Infosphere.orgFor details see: http://theinfosphere.org/Infosphere:Conference_Table#New_Server.21

Just thought I should update you people on our new design we (I mean me) are working on: More information on the imageMore information: http://theinfosphere.org/Table:Reskinning%3FBy the way, anyone willing to try it out early and common on issues, may go to http://new.theinfosphere.org/ , change their theme in Preferences under Appearance (which may appear odd in the Monobook skin) to Vector. Warning, however: new.theinfosphere.org uses different software than the regular wiki, and your preference will not be compatible with the other wiki's software. So the other wikis may appear odd to you afterwards. Not to worry though, the intend is for new.theinfosphere.org to replace the regular wiki eventually.

More double posting! As I have now updated the skin for our wiki. If you have an account, be sure to change your skin to "Vector" in your preferences. http://theinfosphere.org/

interesting new skin, but there's no lines in the top to see the tabs, and also, the tabs have a lot of height for some reason
The height is due to the fact that search bar is now on the same level. I assume an additional reason is because the Vector skin uses gradient lines in its usual skin, so the tabs do not seem so high usually. I am personally on both sides when it comes to top borders. I personally think the high lines make up for the lack of top borders. And I like the flow from the content into the background. On the other hand, it could be used for non-active tabs, i.e. tabs not being the current page. Here is how the Vector skin would look without modifications.
