I'm in the process of upgrading the site software. This involved five major version upgrades (which includes about 8 point releasees each for a total of approx. 40 incremental upgrades) plus a couple dozen software extensions which make the site work. (maps require two extensions for example)

Most functionality has been restored but there are still some issues which I'm working through as quickly as possible. Below is a list of remaining items to fix - they'll get marked as "FIXED" as they're resolved.

Please reply with a note about anything you come across as not working.

  • FIXED facybox notice warning when using edit with form
  • FIXED (did a global find-and-replace of "frame" with "border") ...images with "frame" parameter displaying image as full size rather than specified size (changing it to "framless" instead fixes the sizing but I still need to figure out whyThat basic outness found which will lead to a recovery of stats. (HCO PL 13 Oct 70 II) the "frame" parameter doesn't work as before so that captions can work as well)
  • FIXED pop-up glossary not working (mouse over the word "affinity1. the feeling of love or liking for something or someone. Affinity is a phenomena of space in that it expresses the willingness to occupy the same place as the thing which is loved or liked...more" and you should see the new & improved smaller script displaying below the word rather than above it)
  • pages loading slow
  • wiki editor warning when using edit with form. (wikieditor disabled in all forms except professional associations - leaving this as exmple for support persons to view)
  • FIXED - Header Tabs not working sitewide
  • Headertabs not working with forms
  • auto-complete on category not working in success stories form
  • Arrays not working on new 'group' or 'auditors' forms - maybe others - needs to be checked
  • FIXED "edit with form" tab not showing on "Personal Profiles" pages, only "edit" tab.
  • FIXED (reverted to Vector skin) Flash MP3 not playing on CBR and Bevan Peece pages. Code is there but no show in Foreground skin.
  • SemanticAs used in this context, it refers to re-using data from web pages that would otherwise not be available anywhere other than the single web page it is published on. A Semantic Wiki like this one, is enhanced Wiki software (like this in-line glossary function) that is far more complex and sophisticated, with advanced data collection, display and reporting methods. It is able to make relationships in the presentation of data to the user in ways regular Internet applications cannot. Glossary broke with error message "Invalid or virtual namespace -1 given" after upgrading MW from 1.24.1 to 1.25.1
  • Instant Commons is not working so that images from wikicommons are not displaying due to their change to https protoccol. (fix is I/P)
  • FIXED Cite extension broken after upgrade to 1.25.1
