Another major upgrade this morning, please let me know if there are issues once again. :) Thanks! Mike

-- OR -- Members can post according to the rules in that thread, and posts that don't meet the rules can be deleted. Much simpler and faster for all involved. No PM'ing, and if the user wants to re-post with the source info, they can. This is the way forward.

Topic split. Doesn't need to go to the admin board in my view though.

garb11, the image is hosted here so it may have been an issue with their server. Seems to load OK for me. Might be that the site is blocked by whatever network your PC is connected to (e.g. DWAN), but loads over the unrestricted cell network. standingdown, I believe this is the thread...

I should also address an apparent misconception: Radio Chatter is subject to the Conduct Guidelines just like the remainder of the site. The rules are not relaxed or invalid here, they apply in full force.

George, we have been down this road before and have a publicly discussed policy on it: https://army.ca/forums/threads/90250/post-888219.html#msg888219 I don't believe you are raising a new issue here, nor one that will evoke a change in the way we do business.

Another day, another server upgrade. Please report any issues. Working on the weird text at the top of every page right now...

What could go wrong?

You would think so, but the reality is we would have a spike in impulse deletes that then re-register a new account a few days later, causing challenges for continuity with posts, etc. (All old posts are "unattributed" once the parent account is deleted.) Worse, the user may expect that their...

Well done Haligonian! If you PM me your address I'll mail you an Army.ca (or Navy.ca if you go that way) bumper sticker. And thanks Infanteer for putting together the Decision Game, it's a valuable exercise!

Database upgrade complete, please report any problems. Cheers Mike

Excellent work, thanks Infanteer. I will throw in at least an Army.ca bumper sticker for top answer. If I can dig up something better to throw in before closing, I will add it to the pot.

If it falls under the guidelines above, it has to be changed, regardless of whether it is a post, a signature, a tagline, username, etc.

Please see: How to engage in political discourse on Army.ca

Folks, BLUF/TL;DR: All old threads are locked. Rules of conduct will be strictly enforced. Repeat offenders of any stripe will be barred from the Political forums. You may notice that all existing threads in the Canadian Politics and Global Politics boards are now locked. After review with the...

Good news, the licensing dispute was resolved. Turns there was a minor loophole that would have allowed the Army and Navy to use the same hotel booking standards as the Air Force, and as DND does not have the budget to support that, the contract was terminated. Back to the old green. And wow, I...

Folks, Last week I received word that there are crown copyrights on Army.ca and Navy.ca. Air-Force.ca is not affected due to the addition of the hyphen. Unfortunately starting in April we are legally unable to use the other sites and their proprietary colour schemes, so moving forward we will...

Thanks OldTanker! I can certainly remember a time - not that long ago - when we were seeing near daily issues with server stability and access. Not so any more, I am happy to say! And yes, Fate has been officially Tempted. :) Cheers Mike

Folks, This year (the 25th year that Army.ca has been online), we are set to hit 1.5 million posts before calendar year-end. We are also likely to break 50,000 days of accumulated time spent online for all registered users (this does not include time guests spend browsing the site). We are...

Show unread posts has an implied "since your last visit" tacked on the end, whereas show unread replies will show topics you have posted in with new replies no matter how old. You can show all unread posts if you really want to be overwhelmed. :) (I have 95 pages of unread topics!)
