The search index is now complete and searching works as well as it ever did.

George, are those items for the military history calendar?

No, they aren't. Sorry ...... Yes they are.      I found them by accident on DHH website, and noticed they weren't on our calendar.  I tried to input them, but couldn't.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Thanks George, I've added them now. (A day late, and for the sake of argument, a dollar short too..)

Yahhhh!  The text color bar goes back to "Change Color" after using it....it was such a pain!!!  Thanks Mike!

The top part of my screen is army green, the rest is Milnet grey......gremlins?

I log into Army.ca, I get Milnet screen.

I log into Army.ca, I get Milnet screen.

There was more quirkiness going on than that, but that was one of the symptoms.  I was getting three instances of the webpage spread across my screen, scrollbar and everything.  Seems okay now?

Checked it on three different PCs, and several browsers...all the same, so it wasn't on our end.

The color for links has got to be changed.  That dark blue is difficult to see.  Lately, I've been changing mine to yellow.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Moe, which site are you on where the link colours are hard to see? I did a quick check and they seem OK to me... but I have low standards.

GAP and Occam, are you still seeing the same oddness? (Or other oddness, for that matter...)

 

[GAP]

No, it cleared up within minutes....

I thought you were trying to mate Milnet with Army....bad choice....one of them is weird.... ;D

 

[Occam]

No, it cleared up within minutes....

Same here.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Then it was just me tinkering... I had to make some changes to get the new photo gallery running.

Army.ca.  The link colour is a bluish gray.  Difficult to see on green.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

It should be more of a greyish green... Which still may not be easy to see... The site probably qualifies as a legitimate colour blindness test, but can you send me a screenshot so I can see what you see?

Thanks
Mike

Mike, check here:  http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v632/PMedMoe/Stuff/?action=view&current=Armyca.jpg

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Gotcha... and you're right... visited links have a slightly blueish tint to them. I'll see if I can come up with a better colour.

 

[PMedMoe]

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.

Okay, this issue still occurs (only at work) for me.  Something I've noticed is that the box remains normal until I type or hit enter.  If I use the little double arrow thingy to change the window size, it immediately goes back to normal again.  Must be a DWAN thing.  Or maybe the screen resolution?

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

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?

 

[PMedMoe]

It's only occurred since the last server move/upgrade.  It's no biggie, just makes it hard for me to notice my mistakes.  :-\

 

[Nuggs]

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
• Menu bar fills up the error log
• 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.
• Links directory doesn't work
• Trim mod_security logging
• Increase quote text size (use override CSS)

Thanks!
Mike

Is this what the bold refers too?
