*In the "Welcome to the Wiki!" box, you can see that the "Character", "Place" and "Script" links are capitalized. They shouldn't be, as they are a part of the sentence. I believe that should be changed. {{sig|JulienDethurens|date=04:38, 19 January 2012 (UTC)}}

* There should be an article that has something to do with the title "Help! My Robux and tickets have gone!", instead of linking to the "How to get Robux/tix/badges" page, which doesn't really help resolve problems.  I think either you should create a page, link to a relevant one, or just take the link out altogether

== Page errors ==
Has anyone looked at the main page on a widescreen computer? It's not looking neat. All of the links/sections are lined up one above the other, and there is a stack of image errors at the top of the page. {{User:Tomtomn00/Signature|date=10:18, 17 September 2011 (UTC)}}
:I'm not seeing it. Try refreshing/clearing your cache. {{User:NXTBoy/sig|date=10:48, 17 September 2011 (UTC)}}
::Looks like your'e seeing an old version. There appears to be a problem with images. I can no longer upload them, and it appears the wiki can no longer resize some of them, like [[:Image:DOOM_confused.png]]. {{User:NXTBoy/sig|date=11:09, 17 September 2011 (UTC)}}
:::The only issue I see is with the images. I e-mailed Doom about that earlier this week. He had worked out a fix to this problem in August, but it seems to be back. He was going to get a dev to look into it, so I'm not sure if somebody has yet. I haven't seen him online in the past few days, however when he is I am sure he will be able to look into this further. You guys can't upload images either?
