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.

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.

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 · « **Reply #30 on:** May 07, 2010, 21:10:54 »

No, it cleared up within minutes....

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

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 · « **Reply #34 on:** May 08, 2010, 21:52:26 »

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 Bobbitt · « **Reply #36 on:** May 10, 2010, 11:28:48 »

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.

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 · « **Reply #38 on:** May 11, 2010, 19:56:11 »

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 · « **Reply #39 on:** May 11, 2010, 20:03:42 »

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

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?

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

I do as well, but again, baseline sucks.

dapaterson · « **Reply #44 on:** May 21, 2010, 09:06:17 »

Same thing here. I assumed it was IE6 related...

Mike Bobbitt · « **Reply #45 on:** June 08, 2010, 15:34:48 »

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.

PMedMoe · « **Reply #46 on:** October 23, 2010, 13:12:00 »

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.

PMedMoe · « **Reply #47 on:** December 09, 2010, 17:32:30 »

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

Now, for important issues for Mike to address

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.
