    I am that asshat, and still waiting for a response to the private message sent to you regarding your post right after it was put on hold. All good, I now have my answer, so response no longer required. Cheers

    It is intentional! You can manually switch themes at the bottom, where it has the little paint brush and currently says “Canada.” I will switch back to defaults by end of day.

    Toned down the eye-gouging brightness a bit, let me know if there are any second-order effects.

    I'll see if I can tone it down a bit. :) It's unfortunately not as simple as it should be to balance one colour change against all of the unintended cascading changes, but I'll take a run at it!

    Site Administration Outage!

    Folks, we just had our first outage on the new software. Thanks to @Bruce Monkhouse for notifying me. For the techies in the group, the 'xf_session_activity' table was full. I raised the database max_heap_table_size parameter, but in the end just truncated the table... which means, this may...

    Wanted Infantry Mess Kit

    I'm with the West Nova Scotia Regiment, we don't have any 'peculiarities' with our Mess Kit, just the standard stuff. Thanks

    Wanted Infantry Mess Kit

    Seeking Infantry Mess Kit jacket in a "Medium" size. (No issues if some tailoring is required, but can't go XL for example!) OK with straight up purchase, but also willing to trade for a Mess Kit jacket I have that is "Large," with Major's accoutrements. Thanks!

    Shift-F5 or Ctrl-F5 depending on your browser, to force a fresh reload. You may have the old stuff cached. Or... check your actual phone. ;)

    What's the buzz? [April Fools 2021]

    ...and we are back to normal. Thanks for playing everyone! :) For those who missed it, visiting Army.ca would play a buzzing sound after ~12 seconds. The hope was folks would be checking their phones for messages that were never there. Evil, but I'm OK with it. :)

    Interesting, I'll take a look, but I expect it will be resolved by end of day.

    Site Administration Welcome to the new Army.ca!

    Hi QM, In the menu bar at the top, there should be an entry called "What's New" and clicking on that will take you to a page showing all that is new/unseen on the site. There's even a line that divides what's new since your last visit and what's "unseen" prior to that: The new format takes a...

    Site Administration Welcome to the new Army.ca!

    Folks, The old Navy.ca and Air-Force.ca themes are back. I am certain some tweaking will still be needed but they are mostly set and ready to go. You can change styles by clicking on the "Default style" link on the lower left of every page, or use this link to go directly to the style selector...

    Re: quote timestamps Looks like that's not an option, the closest is to click on the arrow next to the quoted user's name to go to the original post. I've made a request of the XenForo devs to consider adding it. No idea if it will make the cut.

    Site Administration Welcome to the new Army.ca!

    Thanks Malcolm, I think it's a problem with the Google Adsense code... previously I had been using Display Ads, and it worked pretty well. Automatically inserted a few ads here and there. With XenForo, it seems to have gone nuts, inserting ads all over the place and consuming nearly all viewable...
