Page look-and-feel (and login status) differs by page/user/browser after upgrade from 1.12

Description:

  • MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
  • PHP version: 5.2.3 (isapi)
  • MySQL version: 5.0.24-community-nt
  • Installed extensions: ParserFunctions (version 1.2.0); SyntaxHighlight

We recently upgraded our intranet wiki from 1.12 to 1.15.1, to get access to collapsible tables (with a little customization of special pages MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Common.js). However, the look-and-feel of pages varies. Some pages display in what I presume to be the latest look-and-feel, whereas others are decidedly less attractive. Also, the browser CAN lose the user's login status - until an "acceptable" page is accessed, when all is good again - but pages can appear "bad" but also retain the logged-in status.

The good/bad behaviour seems to depend on a combination of user/page/browser - but it is consistent for a given combo. All users run Windows XP. Browsers are Firefox 3.0 & 3.5 and IE 6/7/8. 99% sure we are not using skins in any way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
