==8/12/08 Weirdness==
I recompiled Apache and apparently did something to the "tidy" extension for PHP. I could disable it, but it would break certain layout features (like infoboxes). Will get it resolved sometime today. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 09:31, 12 August 2008 (CDT)

==Google Maps down?==
Seems to be. I'll look into if the problem is on my end. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 16:12, 17 August 2008 (CDT)

==New MediaWiki Skin==
There's a new skin (template) called "PensaBook" available in your user preferences. It will eventually replace MonoBook as the default template. Please try it out and let me know if you have any suggestions or encounter any errors. Thanks! <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 11:45, 24 August 2008 (CDT)
:BTW -- I like it. '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 06:55, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
::Thankya. I'll still be fine-tuning it, so feel free to make suggestions. I made it the default template ahead of schedule because of some funky things the old MonoBook inherited from the new version of Mediawiki. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 13:02, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
==The lowdown==
It was a rough morning, but I got MediaWiki upgraded to the latest version and hopefully resolved some of the other issues. I recompiled my server's Apache & PHP a couple weeks back, and in doing so apparently messed up the "tidy" module. (That's what was causing the Google Maps problem.) Rather than track down the exact problem, it's probably easier/better just to convert infobox templates that use html table markup over to wiki markup. See my recent changes to {{tl|Infobox Biography}} for an example. Let me know if you have any questions. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 12:49, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
:Other things that need to be done: Google Maps (like [[Neighborhoods]], [[Pensacola city limits]], etc.) need to have a minor code upgrade to deal with their overlay transparencies (see [[Florida House of Representatives District 3]] for an example). I'm also working on getting the new Lucene search engine up, but it's been a much more complicated process than I imagined. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 13:02, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
::'''''WOO-HOO!!!''''' I finally got the new search engine working with the dropdown box of suggestions as you type a search query.
