    Thanks Wayne, completely agree in principle, but as we are not an official site and receive no financial support other than from our members, EV certs are out of reach. Certs would be needed for Army.ca, Navy.ca, Air-Force.ca, and Milnet.ca, increasing the cost. P.S. You may want to remove the...

    The Truth About Army.ca

    Folks, I received an "angry letter" from a user this morning and in drafting my reply, it occurs to me that the same sentiment may be shared by many, so I'm making a public reply in the hopes that I can address concerns beyond the single user. The trigger for the note was the recent banning of...

    Site Administration Major Server Upgrade [12 Jan 2022]

    Unfortunately, when we switched forum software from SMF to XenForo, all of the internal links broke. I did run several scripts to fix old links to point to the new threads, but in some cases that fix didn't work. In your example, the URLs were updated to the new format, but don't point to a...

    Site Administration Major Server Upgrade [12 Jan 2022]

    I think think everyone gets it as soon as they log in. I've disabled those trophies for now. The logic is pretty limited for those fields, you can't say "award if it has a value" all you can do is "award if present." Even an empty field seems to meet the criteria. Odd that the server OS upgrade...

    Site Administration Major Server Upgrade [12 Jan 2022]

    So I see you (Bruce) are in fact a counter-example (for Rank at least). I'll take a look when I have a bit of time.

    Spot checking shows only those who listed their rank/regiment got those trophies, so we might be ok. If you find any counter-examples, please let me know.

    Site Administration Major Server Upgrade [12 Jan 2022]

    Folks, This morning the site's underlying servers were upgraded. There should be no noticeable change to the site "look and feel" or operation, but please let me know if something has stopped working. Thanks!

    Site Administration Welcome to the new Army.ca!

    You can use the link at the bottom of the site to change your theme, regardless of which domain your using. Most will show Dadaist Style next to the paint brush icon: Use that link to select the theme of your choice.

    Infantry Officer Training and Progression

    Not really, other than a possible change to require AOC before IDCCC but I don't believe that is official yet. Would love to put together a similar picture for Infantry NCM/NCOs but I don't have the authoritative info.

    Site Administration Welcome to the new Army.ca!

    No. It prompts me every 30 days, if it's more often than that it's likely a problem with accepting/retaining cookies. I seem to recall someone else reporting the same issue, but can't recall the fix. Obviously incognito mode will cause this behaviour but if your browser clears its cache on...

    I am that asshat, and still waiting for a response to the private message sent to you regarding your post right after it was put on hold. All good, I now have my answer, so response no longer required. Cheers

    Site Administration Welcome to the new Army.ca!

    It is intentional! You can manually switch themes at the bottom, where it has the little paint brush and currently says “Canada.” I will switch back to defaults by end of day.

    Toned down the eye-gouging brightness a bit, let me know if there are any second-order effects.

    Site Administration Welcome to the new Army.ca!

    I'll see if I can tone it down a bit. :) It's unfortunately not as simple as it should be to balance one colour change against all of the unintended cascading changes, but I'll take a run at it!

    Site Administration Outage!

    Folks, we just had our first outage on the new software. Thanks to @Bruce Monkhouse for notifying me. For the techies in the group, the 'xf_session_activity' table was full. I raised the database max_heap_table_size parameter, but in the end just truncated the table... which means, this may...
