  • Fran will not be in the meeting due to an emergency at home. Will someone step forward and conduct the meeting for me? Thanks. --Fran 19:36, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
I will be attending the meeting today and can conduct if needed. If somebody else would like the opportunity, then that's OK with me. --Steve 19:45, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Discussion Items

From the Community

  • Determination of color for Nav bar templates and Locality templates? Dsammy
  • New York problem - side bars out of places. No explanation can be found. Dsammy
  • Hi Dsammy, I looked at the New York page and noticed that a closing div tag was missing. I have put one back in and the navigation sidebar is back in place. Unfortunately the Rich Text Editor will probably remove it again sooner or later. --Steve 18:35, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
  • OK I just replaced the </div> tag with a new template {{closing div}}, which should persit after edits using the rich text editor. --Steve 18:44, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
  • FHL Template problem status involving 3 certain areas (subject, locality and tables) Dsammy
    The FHL template is being worked on and is pending answers to questions from those at FamilySearch. Thomas_Lerman 19:17, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Changing from Pilot to Beta Dsammy
    I have started discussion on this with FamilySearch as well. It is in their court at this time as it will be some backend changes they will need to do. Thomas_Lerman 19:17, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Threads not set up in Forums Dsammy
    I am not sure what you mean by this exactly. Are you talking about a thread view of a thread? In other words, view a thread, click on "Display Modes", and select "Switch to Threaded Mode". Thomas_Lerman 19:17, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
  • What to say and what not to say on pages concerning "purchase" or "overt endorsement"
    The difference is obvious: Shelby County, Tennessee and Oregon Gazetteers Dsammy
    Good question. I have seen some that I have been a bit concerned about. One even has a non-genealogical related site in their discussion page . . . see strange to me. Thomas_Lerman 19:57, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
