There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |
Fighting pseudoscience isn't free. We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with ![]() ![]() |

The convenience I like. Can we fix the ugly a bit, throw some colours on it?
I agree with the number. But I'm getting a 4chan vibe from this. so please don't change the saloon bar.
There is a principle in design: "KISS," short for "Keep It Simple, Stupid." Deviate from this principle and things start to become Byzantine in complexity. But if we must have this, could the background color of the boxes be changed to be the same as the page background?
Using MediaWiki as a forum is not simple. You have to manually do indentation, manually sign your comments, you have to deal with unsigned comments, you have to deal with edit conflicts, and the database is littered with redundant data because with every comment the entire page is saved.
(ECx200000000) Hey. You would have edit conflicted me just then, so I am still going to complain about it.
Also, why do the latest replies get cut off when you reload the page, so that you have to click the link "Show X replies" every time?
This is fairly simple. You see a comment you wish to reply too. You click reply and you type in the box.
