As S.N.N suggested, I decided to make a thread regarding the DNS failure on smwiki.net. This thread will be closed when SMWiki is restored. First, I'd like to start out by asking for an approximated answer, when will it be restored?

AKA whenever Kieran has time and/or feels like it.

I wish Kieran could be more specific. Anyway, moving on. Many people believe that smwiki.net is not working because of SOPA/PIPA. If this is not true, then how did smwiki.net get knocked down?

It got two bugs at once.
First(?), Kieran upgraded his server a bit somehow. This broke the wiki database for some reason.
Second, Kieran did something to the domains. This killed both smwcentral.net and a bunch of others for a few says, and it seems like he forgot smwiki.net for a while (he seems to consider the wiki very low priority for some reason). He said he moved them away from GoDaddy, and GoDaddy has been in a bit of turbulence recently, so it's not an unsurprising move.

No.
First, I moved my domains away from GoDaddy. This caused downtime until I get the new nameservers configured correctly. Secondly, after the power outage we had the other day, the MySQL server on the old server won't start for reasons yet to be discovered.
Edit: Both issues should be resolved now. Now we wait.

SMWiki is now up, but there is a weird bug where the navigation box is all the way below the wiki. But anyway, thanks Kieran Menor!

That is kind of weird. I don't see how a power outage would have anything to do with the layout.

E: And I am using Google Chrome so... yeah lol. Are your browsers up-to-date?

The reason is wikibits.js inserting some random stylesheet into the document. If I adblock it, or remove its effects with Firebug, the problem disappears.
The relevant condition to insert this strange stylesheet is the following:
Codevar is_khtml = navigator.vendor == 'KDE' ||
( document.childNodes && !document.all && !navigator.taintEnabled );
It also tests if the user agent is Opera; if it is, it loads a fixer stylesheet for that instead.
I'm not sure why it worked previously. Maybe Firefox lets document.all exist in quirks mode?
Either way, I vote removing those "fixer" stylesheets. Web standards exist for a reason.

Probably fixes up layout problems in KDE's KHTML layout engine, used in Konqueror. since webkit is a descendant of khtml, it gets these fixes not for it.
