Is it really the year 2105? Did we really jump 90 years overnight? :)
Thanks for the keen eyes!
That's my fault. I've fixed the title, but can't change the link, now. *sigh*
Thank you, @davfor
One thought....perhaps the organizational documents and any periodic reports that will now be required can be posted somewhere on the website. That way us folks who are interested in such things will have a convenient way to acc…
Did you have Firefox set to remember your old password? You may have to go into the password manager and change it.
If that doesn't work I would try to clear your browser cache.
@Accipiter
Thank you!
I just made that change. It seems to work when I simulate a smaller screen.
@MrRuffles - Please let me know if it works correctly on your iPad.
Thanks for your post.
The menu bar items are designed to wrap to a second line on the smaller screen of an iPad mini. It's part of what web developers call responsive design, and allows developers to more easily create a site that can be viewed on …
Keep me updated if the problem persists. I'll move this thread to the technical discussions.
I've tried garlic ice cream. It's not so bad as you might imagine, but i see no need to try it again. Cinnamon Toast might be fun to try.
Mmmmm....chocolate.
The update is complete. I'll leave the announcement for the rest of today, just in case anyone notices something not working correctly. I'd like to thank Accipiter for checking on things as I go, and being on hand just in case I…
@Crash
Catch's questions are good.
Have you ever had trouble with the trackpad on your laptop? I had one that was so hyper-sensitive that it would catch the slightest brush of my palm across it and trigger a cursor move while I was typing. Could s…
I noticed a change in the color of the gray font, where the sign out is. It is better to read now.
I believe the white font on green is bigger now, making it easier to read. Of course I've taken those placebo pills, and think I feel much better.

Feedback is always appreciated. We do have a few outstanding issues that we're working on (fonts and a couple of graphics are not quite right), so it's not final yet. If you see something else I should add to the list, that would be great.
I can only replicate this problem in IE, but even then I have to click the play button twice, the error flashes briefly on the screen, and the video plays.

We're holding onto Windows 7 and waiting to evaluate a full release copy of Windows 10 before we schedule an upgrade. That said, running a college IT department means that we will be using Windows 10 eventually.
We've actually found that Windows 8 …
Is the problem still occurring?
@Ted - The video linked here seems to be displaying just fine. I'll run a few tests to see if I can reproduce an error.
@hank
Thanks. I researched the message and found some information from CloudFlare.

We do use the CloudFlare service, which is supposed to help our site run more smoothly and also to protect us from DDOS-type attacks. The pop-up you mention @hank is something I haven't seen before. Would you mind sending me your screenshot - chip@m…
@Old_Joe
Hello, sir
We do use Google data-analytics service on the site to track some basic usage stats. While we could turn on options to track demographic data, we don't. Mostly, we're interested in the number of visitors (approx. 26,000 per mon…
Is there an option now to undo "Mark All Viewed"?
No. I'll edit my post to be more clear. We just made it more difficult to click "Mark All Viewed" by accident.
The upgrades went very smoothly, thanks very much to Accipiter's expertise with all thing Vanilla Forum. There a just a few changes that you may want to make note of:
The "Mark All Viewed" option has been moved. Its previous location made it too eas…
I hope that you will reconsider. I find this to be a useful tool.
We find it very valuable, too. And, it's still easy to get to. If you look to the left at the top of the discussion, next to your screen name. You'll see the small gear or cogwheel. …
I believe that this week's series of patches from Microsoft close serious security holes in both the operating systems mentioned and the Internet Explorer browser. I recommend that if you use any Windows based system, you allow all of the critical u…
Hi, everyone.
In this case, I was mostly unable to do anything to help get the site back online. Mostly, I filed a help ticket with Green Geeks, who were already on the case. Their response team did all the hard work, and I just relayed updates to …
Another story about Gross' departure hits the NY Times. This one with a brief quote from our own esteemed leader.

The answer seems to be that there's not really a simple answer. In general, we shouldn't copy other people's work. If we do copy a small portion, we should attribute the work to the author and link back directly to it whenever possible.
In this ca…
Interestingly enough, we just got new vending machines on campus, replacing machines that might have been nearly 20 years old. These machines take credit cards, and advertised PayPass and other forms of "tap to pay."
In the interest of trying thin…
@Ted
It sounds like you might be letting Firefox save your password (so that it fills in automatically). If that's true, somehow the currently saved password might not match your actual password.
