Windows Server 2012 itself is almost EOL but it should still work, I believe.  I did see that the elog314-2.exe file is a Win32 binary whereas my binaries are 64bit. On Windows Server 2019 did not cause any issues.
Can you try the following
- extract the new elogd.exe binary somewhere , e.g. c:\temp\elogd.exe
- then type
  cd \Program Files (x86)\ELOG
  \temp\elogd.exe

- post the output/error code that you see.


  

Here is the problem:

[url=http://example.com?arrays[]=v1&arrays[]=v2]click here[/url]

How can I escape [] inside url tag?

\[\] seems not working.

That tweak works!

Thanks

What is the string length limit in url tag and how to increase it?

For example,

[url=http://example.com?<text_string>]click here[/url]

When I provide very long <text_string>, it was truncated and showed partial link only.

My Time field is displayed i  a 12 Hour format I would like to change it to 24 Hours, can someone advised how it can be done

 Sorted no problem

I'm trying to set up a python rss parser to read the output from my collaboration's elog, however the elog is password protected and I cannot figure out how to have a python scrip get past the login screen.  Is there something obvious I'm missing that will allow a parser to submit a username and password? If that's too python-specific of a question for this audience, then what is the exact security method elog uses, so I can get information on that?  I've read through the documentation and either I don't know what I'm reading (likely) or I'm not looking in the right spot.
