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

Thanks Mike.

Guess I should change my email address that it sends my notifications too.  I'll never see them over the holidays while my inbox at work is filling up.
 
Well, I might have broken it... but hopefully it's working again now. :)

You're allowed to break your own toys!  And yes, it works now.  :)

Perhaps a merging of all things "Iran" into a superthread?

Not "all" as some things didn't fit but plenty of stuff. As always if someone finds a thread that should be included just let me know.

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!
Just an update Mike -- I'm not sure what you did, but I'm now getting notifications when I gain/lose MilPoints. Thanks.  :)
 
Now, for the sake of us 'bah humbug' people, when are you going to take down the Christmas lights?  :)

I thought Mike would have left the lights up year round like the rest of us.  ;D
 
The Christmas lights have been down since 31 Dec. Try Shift-reload (firefox) or CTRL-refresh (IE) to bring yourself forward to 2011. :)

The DIN likes Christmas as I tried that and they are still there.
 
Yeah, the DIN has caching servers that hang on to the old images for quite a while. It may feel like Christmas for some time yet!

If only I was still on leave to go with it.
 
Primarily, I find myself using my smart phone to access Army.CA. Just recently, I posted something not realizing I hadn't actually finished the last sentence. However, scrolling down to correct that was not possible. Before that, I was unable to access the Wiki or advertisers list on the topmost banner.

I know the idea of a mobile site has been dismissed, but would a link to an older, HTML version of Army.CA be feasible?
 
ʞɔoɹɯɐɥs, a mobile version of the site has not been dismissed... in fact it exists! Try browsing to http://forums.army.ca/forums/index.php?wap2 on your smartphone. It's ugly and stripped down but should be a better method for phones that have trouble rendering the 'full' site.

That doesn't adddress the Wiki, but I'm not sure what the issue there is... When you say you were 'unable to access the Wiki' can you be more specific? Also not sure what you mean about the advertiser's list. We don't have any such list that I'm aware of! :)
 
I have diagnosed the problem to be me and not electronic.

The drop-down menu would appear, but sausage fingers weren't hitting the 100-figure grid reference required to activate the button.

It's not ugly, it's exactly what it needs to be: simple.

That said, it would be nice if hyperlinks were enabled, and if there were some indicator where a post has an image or attatchment (just a simple placeholder like {image} so the user knows what they're missing).

 
Mike, I've noticed an issue with the site and Firefox 4(.0.1).  When using reply or quote, the right edge of the text box is extended clear off the right edge of the screen, so that when you reach the edge of the box, the text doesn't wrap around so you can see it.  I'll attach a screen shot, if that helps.  I have two computers now showing the same symptoms on Firefox, while Chrome and IE 9 appear to have no problems.

I have not yet cleared cookies/cache in case you want me to look at/for anything.
 
I have the same issue with both Firefox and Chrome (already reported privately) but both IE-9 and Maxthon (a relatively less well known browser) work fine.
