I have created an account in the Wiki, and accidentally chose the
`Erudite' skin in the Appearance section of the Preferences page. Since
then, every page has been displayed as an empty page. I am working in
Linux, with Firefox. I disabled the style (View -> page style -> no
style), but I still got an empty page. The source of every page
(Ctrl-u) was empty. I tried with text based browsers (w3m and Emacs
EWW) but with the same effect: empty page, no source.
It seems to be related to the particular skin. If I add the
"?useskin=default" suffix to every URL, I can see it properly, e.g.,
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Special:Preferences?useskin=default shows
the preferences page properly. But if I follow any link from it, I
again hit a blank page.
I request one of the Wiki administrators to reset my preferences to the
default ones. The user name is "raghu".
More generally, it may be a problem with Erudite that needs to be looked
into.
Thanks and regards,
Raghu.

I have created a new account at the Wiki, with user name "nyraghu", and have started adding some content to the Wiki through this account, so it is no longer necessary to rescue the user "raghu".

It is perhaps prudent to check if there is a general problem with this
skin at the Wiki, so that other users don't get bitten by it as I was.
Fortunately, mine was a new account, so it didn't matter to me much if
the account became unusable. However, if someone has spent some time
and effort on the Wiki, it would be difficult if a purely cosmetic
change of preference makes that person's account unusable.
Regards,
Raghu.

Thank you for the warning. Sorry, I saw this message too late to fix your initial problem. However, I did now remove the Erudite skin (it has a php problem that causes server-side errors) so it will not happen for other users. Best wishes, Taco

Dear Taco,
No problem. I am glad you removed the offending skin.
Regards,
Raghu.

Removing that skin has automatically changed the skin for user "raghu"
to the default skin, so I am now able to use that account again.
Thanks,
Raghu.
