Capitol Hill Blue Forums Hot Topics & Breaking News The RoundTable New Server, New Round Table for Spring 2022

My apologies for the problems that some are finding right now. I'm trying to work through them as quickly as I can.

I've found the best formatting is the ubbthreds option for styles, at least until I get a change to work on a new template.

There is a newer logo at the top now to play up the forum name. I will do a more polished one as soon as I can.

DONATE DONATE DONATE.

I see we are still having the "not logged in" problem when trying to post a new thread, despite moving to a new server. I know how to deal with it, but it is annoying to be logged out within an hour of logging in, particularly after typing in a long post. In case anybody doesn't know, you can back your browser up, capture the post with CTRL-C, log in when you try to post it again, and then use CTRL-V to paste it into the edit box.

When you log in, there should be a box to check to say "keep me logged in." That should keep you logged on. If it is not working, the means something I need to add or fix.

Changing font size will require several changes in the style sheet and specific templates. I will try to work on that this weekend.

I'm having a lot better luck staying logged in here. Some had trouble with that and some didn't. It was frustrating.

I'd like to see our active topics column with the latest posts on the left...I kinda lived and died by that list.

I see you got the style thing fixed. That way when our visitors stop by the place will be recognizable again.

You're doing great, Doug!

I always check Stay Logged In. Doesn't seem to make much difference. When it tells me I'm not allowed to post or make a new thread because I'm not logged in, it always has my name and logged in status in the upper right corner of the screen. So I suspect there are two different logged in status variables in the system, and they don't both get set when you do log in. Or maybe one of them gets cleared after a brief time.

Looks like it's time to check the logs to see what errors, if any, are appearing. Another good reason, perhaps, to change the board over to a more reliable platform like PHPBB, but I won't do that until I'm sure we can protect all the users and files. Let me work on it for a while and see what I can do. Thanks for the updates and help. I'll keep working on it.

It looks like a busy day on Capitol Hill with the Senate set to confirm the first Black woman, and the fourth woman overall, to the Supreme Court and set to vote to end trade relations with Russia and ban oil imports from that country. This is one of the rare days when I miss working for Congress, as I did from 1981 to 87 as a press secretary to one Congressman, chief of staff for a second, and special assistant to the ranking member of the House Science and Technology.

Back then, building coalitions and bipartisanship were typical tools to pass legislation, set budgets, and accomplish things. No more and no real regrets for leaving.

I think most Americans long for the days when compromise was possible.

Jackson will be a welcome face on the court.

I agree on Jackson, and I mourn the loss of compromise.
