Army.ca To Do List

[Mike Bobbitt]

In light of all the recent changes, I've put together a to do list of outstanding problems. If you see something that's not on the list, please let me know about it. If it's already on the list, I'm aware of it but haven't gotten around to fixing it yet.

As I resolve problems, I'll remove them from this list.

• Smilies and spellcheck don't work on the DWAN
• Header block with avatar/userinfo/ads is still not quite right
• Chat censor is 4'ed
• Chat presence in menu bar stays too long after a user exits
• User albums in the gallery do not work.
• Trim mod_security logging
• Increase quote text size (use override CSS)

Thanks!
Mike

one small item...increase font size in quote boxes...they're hard to read that small (blind old guys  ;D)

put this thread on front page so it's easy to find.

 

[Shamrock]

I think you may need to add lists to that list.  None of your bullets are showing up this end or in a previous review I attempted to enlisten.

 

[Edward Campbell]

I see the bullets in your review.

 

[George Wallace]

I find the individual Threads easy to read, but the Recent Posts pages not so easy to read.  It is difficult to figure out who posted and where the quotes begin and end.  The large grey numbers tend to disappear/blend into the darker background of the even numbered posts.

Since yesterday, when typing a reply, the text box (and subsequently text) extends beyond the edge of the page so that it is not visible until it wraps around to the next line.  Not sure if it's just on the DWAN or not but can let you know this evening.

One more for your list:

Search box on front page doesn't seem to work (any word I've tried comes back with nothing found, including classics like "infantry" and "Afghanistan")

Not huge, since I use Google as well, but thought you'd like to know.

But isn't Mike still rebuilding the search database?

 

[Bruce Monkhouse]

Yes, but I think it has it's own thread.

• Smilies and spellcheck don't work on the DWAN
• Header block with avatar/userinfo/ads is still not quite right
• Menu bar fills up the error log
• SMF menu selections are white on white
• Chat censor is 4'ed
• Chat presence in menu bar stays too long after a user exits
• Gallery logins are not working
• Gallery browse/filename fields are white on white
• User albums in the gallery do not work.
• Links directory doesn't work
• Trim mod_security logging

Rebuild forums search index (change admin timeout when complete)

• Resume bidirectional backups

Thanks!
Mike

SEARCH index is already on his "TO DO" list.  ;D

My f**k up, then - didn't connect the two.

It is 2112 hrs and I think that several of the different parts of this program have their "Clocks" running haywire.  Look at the Time Stamp on this post, the Time Stamp on the same post in my profile, and Time Stamps on MilPoints and all these are different records.


Reply # 10 above isn't even recorded in the MilPoints data.

 

[George Wallace]

Just an example of how off your MP Clock is; I just logged on and made one post at about 0805:

Mike, until the Search function is sorted out, maybe add Mike O'Leary's words to the Search page

When you find problems with the search function use Google as an alternative.  Add site:army.ca to your search to limit results to the forum.

This will also work for site:navy.ca, site:air-force.ca, or other versions of the Milnet.ca url.

I think some of the "clocks" in the site are running on Local time, while others are on Zulu time.  Does that cause 'conflicts' in the programing?

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

George, you're right about the times... the server has it's time, the forums have an offset, and every user can adjust with another offset. Regular scripts like the MilPoints stuff just rely on the server time, which seems to be stuck at GMT. I updated the timezone last night, but it reverted back to GMT at some point. I should be used to computers not listening to me by now...

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Shamrock, I can see your (and my) bullets just fine... Are they still invisible for you? Anyone else? What browser are you using?

GAP, I'll see what I can do about adjusting the quote text size. Sometimes big things turn out to be easy and sometimes small things end up being difficult. This is one of the latter unfortunately.

Moe, I haven't seen misbehaving reply boxes yet... are they doing that consistently or just once in a while?

 

[George Wallace]

WHOA!  All the text has now changed to a light shade of orange.

 

[PMedMoe]

Orange?  I'm getting brown which is really hard to read.....  :-\

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

DO not adjust your set...
