Another Question:  Could ELOG be configured to send notifications as a Blind 
Copy?  Just wondering if that would take care of the problem?

I just noticed that the notifications I receive from your ELOG system, 
doesn't show anyone in the "TO:" section but myself.  Or is ELOG configured 
to only send myself a message?

This is on purpose. I have many people registered for the Forum. So when a 
notification is sent, it is not a good idea if everybody sees everybody 
else's mail addresses. Therefor I have 

Omit Email to = 1

in the config file. This way the "To:" field is omitted to "hide" the mail 
recipients from each other. Your mail client realizes that and fills in your 
own address automatically, that's why you only see yourself. Maybe you try 
that option, might help with your previous problem as well.

Well, I decided to make all entries in a table a link, to be consistent with 
the threaded display. But I changed the style such that they look like 
before, but are actually links. This way it cannot hurt (like having too 
much underlined text). The style can be changed via classes ".list1" 
and ".list2" in the style sheet.

The modification will come in 2.3.1, or you can get the source code from CVS 
under

What happened. If you tell your initial problems, I can maybe put something 
into the docs so that others won't have it...

I upgraded to version 2.3.0 the previous version didnt seem to work with 
stylesheets, when you viewed the html source there was no stylesheet defined 
in it.

Please see my other posts for feature requests.

Many Thanks - FANTASTIC program btw

Stefan,

When will you have 2.3.1 out? I just upgraded to 2.3.0 and would like to see
the links in my summary view. If it is going to be out soon I will wait
instead of compiling from source.

Thanks for great software,
k.

2.3.1 will come out next week, since this week I'm at home. But you always 
can get the sources from CVS (see below).

Is is possible to postdate the Entry Date for an entry?

The documentation lists the ability to forward date an entry, but I don't 
see any ability to backdate an entry (edit the date to a date in the past).

Given that the entry date is part of the logbook entry file structure, it 
wasn't obvious how to make this change.

thanks
