Are you taking over? Good on you!

No, it shouldn't be an arduous task at all - can probably be changed in a couple of minutes in the site settings, if you know where to look.

I can neither confirm or deny that, at least not until our illustrious chairman says something.

It will depend if the attribution is written out to the database or not. Hopefully not.

Sorry, Peter, I'm not following you - you're right that nearly all the reviews on the website from that period were published in Prism, but the problem is the missing writing credits on the website.

Are mixing this thread up with the one about Shelflings? If that's it, yes, the first issue of that will just include reviews from January to March of this year.

Probably

Something I've noticed in the past but it seems to be constant at the moment:

Looking at the frontpage - text in column 2 (reviews) is overlapping across into column 3 (events calendar etc).
Currently this appears to be constant in Chrome and on the iPad but I've seen it come and go in Firefox, also.

I only see that in Firefox when I Ctrl+ to enlarge the page & then I have to do that 4 times, before the text breaks out of the edge of the column. This suggests to me that it's a screen res. variable issue.

Hadn't thought of trying that... *goes off to try it out...* Hmm, it seems to still overlap even when the text size is reduced Cheesy

Possibly needs a bit of under-bonnet tinkering in WordPress!

Is it the long weblinks not wrapping, maybe?

Anyone who is experiencing this problem, could you please send the webmaster@ email address the following:

A screenshot of the problem. Ideally a full screen shot.
The browser you use and its version number.
Your operating system.
Your screen resolution.

I'm currently snowed dealing with some major issues for an event I'm organising in August, but I promise to make some time this weekend to look at it.

Something else I've just noticed is it is saying "Featured Category not specified" at the top of various category types on the frontpage... I've had a look under the bonnet and everything appears as it should in each various post, though.

It's not limited to us... A quick Google and it looks like this is something that others who currently have the same/similar theme as us are experiencing:
http://www.buyingmobiles.in/
http://www.topmoviez.net/
http://www.techcf.org/

I'm a pedantic so-and-so, though, so it might not be an issue for most folk  Smiley


ETA: Found a fix but I don't have access to the theme options from my log in. This is cut 'n' pasted from the Gadgetine theme creators own website comments (here):
It doesn’t look like ANY of your categories have been selected for the feature category as they all say ‘Featured Category not specified’.
On your theme options>news blocks you should have xxxx as primary category and then featuredxxxx as featured post sub category and you must remember to SUBMIT this too.


ETA 2: Is it just me or have our smilies disappeared from the forum? They might need reloading somewhere... Cheesy

Yes, they've gone -- off to a convention for bodiless heads

I have to fess up and say that I haven't had an opportunity to look at all of this yet. Manic for a few days more but I'll try to get it all sorted over the weekend.

Well, the messed up text is back again...

ETA: scrap that, I fixed it myself. Mr Theaker was right about it being weblink related...
