Thanks Spence.

Yes, the Test Reprint template was a work in progress that wasn't 100% completed before other duties began taking up my time. It is a much nicer idea in theory, but heavily relies on the use of a server-intense extension called DPL (Dynamic Page Listing). While I was in the midst of perfecting the new version, it was called to my attention by Wikia that there are other, less-server-intense ways of accomplishing the same goals, and I began working on those types of conversions to our existing templates off-site.

That was the major project I was undertaking when I began to lose the time I was able to put in around here, and as such, many of these projects continue to have loose ends.

So there's no real answer, but the answers available today are to use the older template and deal with the irritation, or use the newer test template understanding that some things just don't work right on it.

Sorry I can't be more helpful on this one. I would normally try to commit to fixing one of the templates so that it could be more widely used, but by experience, I can't honor those commitments as I would like to. Plus, if I were to really continue developing this template, I would really want to continue developing the conversion I had planned off-site, which is a much bigger and significantly more difficult project.
