:::Nathan: The update was simply a security fix. Said UI, the Vector skin, is available on Bulbanews and Bulbapedia, but is disabled due to compatibility issues.
:::Rex: While a security fix would be needed, wait until MediaWiki 1.17 comes out. The updating process is much smoother, and by far faster. Updates in less than ten minutes.--'''[[User:Immewnity|<span style="color:#88AADD">''immewnity''</span>]][[User talk:Immewnity|the]][[Special:Contributions/Immewnity|mew]]''' 18:52, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

::::Just say what license you want to publish under. Virtually everyone on Bulbanews uses CC BY-NC-SA, but if you really want to I guess you could use a different one, though that'd be a pain in the ass. You don't really need to worry about that but if you want to you can get a basic overview of what it means in [[Bulbanews:Copyrights]]. If there is something in there that you don't like, you can let us know but it'll make posting your piece much more complicated.--[[User:RexRacer|'''<font color="#E7CE6B">Rex</font>]][[User talk:RexRacer|<font color="#42528C ">Racer</font>''']] 03:09, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

::::::I got the one that I posted but I think that's because he CC'd my personal Bulbagarden account as well. It's very well possible that the redirect is broken. I'll ask about that.

== "Opinion piece" ==
Well, wouldn't it help if you guys explained properly what the difference is between an editorial, opinion, and those? Breaking news, local news, general news, rumors, and features article kind of speak for themselves. What's the difference between a column and an opinion column? Editorial, I got the impression it was made by the higher-ups. Opinion piece seemed to be the only one it fit under, I suppose. [[User:ArcToraphim|ArcToraphim]] 04:07, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
:I believe the difference between an opinion column and a regular column is that a regular column is written by a Bulbanews staff member and an opinion column comes from someone outside. We aren't too strict about enforcing that standard though.--[[User:RexRacer|'''<font color="#E7CE6B">Rex</font>]][[User talk:RexRacer|<font color="#42528C ">Racer</font>''']] 23:25, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

==Bulbagraphic questions==
Hi, I'm new on Bulbanews, so right now I have 2 questions about the magazine:
*Which is the adequate software to open mobi files? I downloaded the e-book magazine and the computer was unable to open it. I searched in on the windows website, and it said the extension is unknown. How can I open that extension???
*Do all the news published just on Bulbanews get the possibility of being selected to be in the magazine? Also, can I instead of writing an article about something new, write a report about a curiosity that was not recently discovered?
