| == Populated Places Links not active in Firefox/Chrome<br> ==
| |
|
| |
|
| Problem
| |
|
| |
| There are many county pages with "Populated Places" sections where the links in those sections are not active. Two examples are:
| |
|
| |
| Trousdale County, Tennessee<br> Greene County, Tennessee
| |
|
| |
| These links work ok in Internet Explorer. --janellv 22:16, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| Fix
| |
|
| |
| Remove the "align="left"" tag from the table properties in that section and the links will work again. janellv 17:28, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

| == Right hand navigation sidebar displayed below main content ==
| |
|
| |
| {{Resolved|by means of a workaround - problem will still occur}} Some pages when viewed instead of displaying the navigation sidebar along the right hand side of the page, it is displayed underneath the main content of the article.
| |
|
| |
| ;Cause
| |
| :This is caused by a missing <nowiki></div></nowiki> tag, often innocently removed automatically by the Rich Text Editor.
| |
|
| |
| ;Fix/workaround
| |
| :When this problem is found add the template '''{{tl|closing div}}''' to an appropriate section of the page. This will restore the navigation bar to the right hand edge of the screen

| {{resolved}} Users that are browsing a page in the Special namespace are not returned to that page after they have signed on.

|
| |
| [https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/User:StringhamDB StringhamDB] It appears as if the page URL is being mis-translated when handed over to CIS. Redirects can be the death of the web and this is an example of that statement. More research is being put into this issue to resolve it.

| == Sign-In Problems When Using Internet Explorer 8 ==
| |
|
| |
| {{Resolved}}
| |
|
| |
| Some users have reported being unable to sign-in using Internet Explorer 8. When clicking on wither of the sign-in links on the home page, the new sign-in page does not come up. In fact, nothing happens. A work-around is to place a short-cut on your desk-top, which takes the user to the new sign-in page from which the user can then sign-in.

| ==== Resolution ====

|
| |
|
| This bug has been traced back to the ''Browser Highlighter'' Firefox plug-in. See the thread [http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?locale=hu&comments_parentId=343800&forumId=1 Weird gwProxy code is inserted in WYSIWYG textareas] from the Mozilla support forum. Removing the offending add-on in Firefox should fix the problem.

| I seem to be able to create a table, specify the number of rows and columns, size of cell, etc. But I couldn't get the table centered. I used the centering feature but the table remained on the left side of the page. What am I doing wrong. Also, how do I populate the cells of the table. As I started to type in a cell, the sizes of the columns changed. Jbparker 11:14, 14 February 2008 (MST)

| We have documented an issue with HTML and other Wiki syntax showing up in the search results. For example, if you search on Alaska, the following items will be included in the results:
| |
|
| |
| <br>3: * Alaska State Archives<br />141 Willoughby Avenue <br ... <br>4: ...41<br />Internet: http://www.archives.gov/pacific-alaska/anchorage/<br /> <br>5: * Genealogical Society of Southeastern Alaska<br />P.O. Box 6313 <br />Ketchikan, AK 99901 <br>6: ...<br />Fax: 907-276-1596<br />Internet: http://www.alaskahistoricalsociety.org/<br /> <br>7: * Alaska State Library<br />Alaska Historical Collections<br />State Office Building... If you click on the Wikitext button (upper left corner of the tool bar)<br>while you are in the edit mode and delete the HTML language it will disappear from the final saved page--usually.

| This page was created when the content in Plone was ported over to the Wiki. Some concerns were raised dealing with the look and feel of the new home for content and also the navigation. The concerns at the time have been resolved. See the discussion that took place at [[FamilySearch Wiki talk:Look and feel and navigation|Talk:Look and feel and navigation]]. This page is currently categorized as FamilySearch Wiki, but likely needs a new category related to the ongoing development of the design and navigation of wiki content.
