Here are some things for your wish list:                                        
                                                                                
1) elogd should report quota or disk-full problem:  In case a logbook           
   entry cannot be saved (quota or disk full) then a message like               
   'Could not save last entry.  Please contact administrator.' should           
   be displayed.  Currently nothing happens.  Only the submitted                
   entries 'vanish'.                                                            
                                                                                
2) default page view per user, i.e. the 'Back' link goes to                     
   ?mode=Full,summary,... depending on the user that is logged in.              
   Some users complained that 'Back' is not really back.  Maybe                 
   consider renaming 'Back' to 'Default View' or something.                     
                                                                                
3) (related to 1) the 'Back' link should go back to the last used mode          
   (full, summary, threaded,...) and not to the default mode                    
                                                                                
4) mark messages as unread/read on a per user basis: The                        
   implementation of this might be quite involved but it would be               
   rather useful.  One way would be to add a default attribute 'Seen            
   by' to each entry, which lists the login names of the users.  Or 
   files LOGIN_NAME.has_seen can be created which contain the entry 
   IDs of the viewed entries for each user.   
                                                                                
5) alignment of attribute table (using <td colspan=2> for multi line            
   stuff): see elog:669 :)                                                      
                                                                                
You can count my vote for:                                                      
                                                                                
- Use "and" and "or" operands in queries                                        
                                                                                

At some point, in the last week or so, I upgraded the debian-unstable
version (r1459-1) of elog.  Now, PostScript files (as attachments) are
displayed (shown in ascii text, instead of just showing the link).  

Is there an option in the elog.cfg to only display certain files (like .gif
or .jpg).

The button name has been changed from "change elogd.cfg" to "change config file"
since the file name is now variable (can be changed during compile time). But I
guess this is not your problem.

Can you try with the demo logbook (contained in the distribution). Just add
"password file = ..." and "admin user = ..." to the sample elogd.cfg. If I do that
here, everything works fine. You also can send me your elogd.cfg so I can have a look.

without password protection on logbook it is working fine with windows 98.

First, upgrade to 2.5.4-5 (if you haven't done so). If the problem persists,
please start elogd on the server with the "-v" flag, capture the screen output
and send it to me by email so that I can have a look. Please send also your
elogd.cfg file.
