These are different than the ones that are used in the wikipedia. Is this a new version they haven't installed, a plug-in of some sort, or custom?

Thanks.

The forums are running on vBulletin. MediaWiki has been integrated with vBulletin through our own custom programming on Wikipod as vBulletin is much better for discussions.

I agree that it seems cleaner, although it's kind of annoying that it doesn't pick up my username/pw from wikipod. I used mediawiki for a website and was hoping that it was in the main line just not released yet. I guess I should have known it was custom because of the username/pw thing.

Yup, a username/pw integration is more complicated and is something that we hope to get done one day, if possible.
