Dodajanje np

Mogoče mi boš znal pomagati: že nekaj časa mi namreč v urejevalnem oknu ne dela gumb povezava (ikona z verigo, zgoraj). Ko kliknem, se ne zgodi nič, je pa to edini gumb, ki mi ne dela. Se ti sanja, zakaj? --IP 213 (pogovor) 11:58, 7. januar 2014 (CET)

IE 11? Nikomur to ne dela :D --ModriDirkac (pogovor) 12:13, 7. januar 2014 (CET)

Ja, to sem pozabil napisati: IE11. --IP 213 (pogovor) 12:20, 7. januar 2014 (CET)

To je system-wide napaka v programju, ki je s svojimi pooblastili samo na slwiki ne morem enostavno odpraviti (lahko ti edino pripravim začasni skript, ki ti bo naredil nadomestni gumbek); najboljše, da napako s sliko v red javiš na bugzillo. lp, --Miha 20:52, 7. januar 2014 (CET)

Hvala. Ne vem, če se mi bo ljubilo ukvarjati z bugzillo, ampak zdaj vsaj vem pri čem sem. --IP 213 (pogovor) 21:06, 7. januar 2014 (CET)
