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!)

Fixed, subscribers no longer see ads. Sorry for the confusion!

I'll double check the code. Subscribers should not be seeing ads, but it seems like some/all still are.  ???

I have made some changes to the ad code, it may result in some new stuff, we will give it a shot and see if the lemon is worth the squeeze.

They never left, but it's possible your ad blocker isn't working. :)

Not very pretty, but we have a large database of terms here as well: https://army.ca/words/

The lower Edit button triggers inline editing... some browsers may not like it. Personally I don't like or use that method, it's always seemed a bit flaky. Works OK for me, you may have to clear your Army.ca related cookies and try again.

Folks, A significant server upgrade was completed this morning, as always please let me know if there are any residual issues. Cheers Mike

Updated.  :orly:

Yeah, I have to admit, despite it all I had a little laugh myself.

I don't believe in coincidences, but I don't believe in fate either, so I guess I'll chalk this up to good old fashioned bad luck. Our hosting service had "an unrecoverable issue with the underlying hardware" today, and flushed our server without prior notice. Luckily, I run multiple backup...

Folks, for the first time in a long time, good news. According to our monitoring tools, Army.ca had 100% uptime in December. That means that for the entire month of December, the server was never unavailable.* For the keeners in the group, our monitoring report from 30 Nov to now is attached...

Seems to fit in this category as a minimum.
