Not sure about sapphire, bu I did uninstall, and and did not edit anything before reinstalling. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling.

Just got this installed and I must say I am very impressed. Didn't run into any major issues.

I did notice that when using the Forum Style skin that the My Preferences page didn't inherit the forum's style very well, the background stayed white for example, but for the most part it's looking good.

I did a full uninstall before installing the new one. I have not touched the templates.

Which templates are they and what should they look like now? I can just fix them manually.

Hey, i have a question coz i am not sure if i did understand all the right way. Can i use the Software (mediaWiki) incuded this Addon to "make" my own Wiki or is this just to implement existing WikiPages?
With own Wiki, i mean something like...VaultWiki?

Ok, I figured out what was wrong with the nav bar - seems I did modify mediawiki_navbar_link in a previous install to address a different display issue. I reverted the template and the tab shows up fine.

I went through the product xml to see what other templates might be affected but I couldn't find anything that really had to do with wiki:raw personal_urls. The only place I saw it was in the previous mediawiki_navbar_link template so I went ahead and replaced the template I had with what was in the product. Same issue as before. {wiki:raw personal_urls} just glares at me on the sub-bar, heh.

That's one part that was not possible to overwrite so easily... I need to look into that, but I don't think that it's possible to change that.

It will only work with a real MediaWiki Wiki.

Could you set me up an admin account, then I can look into it... if yes, send details via PM
I can check all the templates and phrases and I'm also interested why the things did not get overwritten on your forum.

Perhaps it was not removed, because you edited the template before... not sure...

Same for you:
