Army.ca To Do List

"Today in Military History" is describing May 16 - so Today is really Yesterday.

Probably a DWAN thing... it likely removes JavaScript, and without it, the site loses it's mind. I can't guess why this particular issue occurs. Anyone else on the DWAN have the same problem?

I do as well, but again, baseline sucks.
 
Crockett... that line item actually refers to another problem, but thanks for reporting yours.

The other problem with the textbox acting weird seems to be fairly widespread, unfortunately. I haven't yet been able to observe it which makes it hard to track down, but I'll keep on it.
 
Mike,

Here's a suggestion that I don't think has been made.  Not sure if you can do it.....

When looking at "Show unread posts since last visit", is there a way that each topic can have a check box beside it and be marked as read without having to mark all as read?

I think it would make it much easier to narrow down the list of unread posts without having to go through pages of it.  I was last on Thursday evening and today there were over 3 pages of unread posts.  It's not a huge issue, but it would enable people to check off posts that they aren't interested in and keep the links to the ones they are. 

Just curious if it could be done if it's not too much trouble.
 
Just thought I'd "bump" this idea up and see if it gets noticed.  *fingers crossed*  ;)

Maybe if you'd put a bit more due diligence into checking in regularly, you wouldn't have to pester Mike with your petty issues  ;D


Now, for important issues for Mike to address  ;D

1) Smilies: I think we could use:
  a) a dead kittty (someone else mentioned this, and I think it's a good idea), and
  b) an angel (we have a devil already, but sometimes I post things in perfect angelic innocence; I'd hate to be mistaken).

2) MilPoints: I get an email notification when I give/deduct MilPoints. Is there any way that the recipient can be notified, other than checking MilPoints regularly? I hate missing out on finding I've hurt someone's feelings (OK, one person on several occasions now  ;) )

Maybe if you put in a bit of due diligence in searching, you'd find one yourself.  ;)

Angel smilies
We're talking about army.ca click & go smilies, not searching the web.

Man, you go on course for a few days and there's no dealing with you  ;)

What's the matter, too much work to bookmark a page and copy and paste?  ::)

Like I'm ever easy to deal with.  >:D

Didn't there used to be something like this?  I was sure a few years ago that I could do this.

It's ok JM.  Just give me MPs everyday and I won't have to worry about an email...I can just expect them.  :D

You'd just use them to feed your Afghan Ops addiction -- and that would make me just as guilty, for "feeding the hunger"  ;)
 
Moe, I wish we could select topics to 'watch', so we could follow threads we haven't replied in, or ignore threads we have. Doesn't seem to be possible under the current system though. :(

JM, here all these long years I thought it *was* sending out notification e-mails. I believe it is now... we should find out shortly!
 
Negative, no email. Let me see if there's a setting or something that's off.

Edit: Just sent some points your way, ER. I don't have an email yet saying I sent points so maybe its just my mail server being slow.

Sorry Mike, no change.
I still get the message (from Apache @Army.ca) whenever I give/take MilPoints, but no joy when anyone else judges my posts -- and I have gained/lost today  ;D

But JM, 'tis the season for giving and feeding the hungry ;)  (P.S. you're off the invite for XMas dinner now!  lol)

 
Works now! Helps so I can regift points to generous individuals!!!

Thanks Mike.
