On both Level26 and Harper's Globe I am having problems with the layout of the site being disfigured. Am I he only one who is having these problems or is it a mutual thing because its kind of annoying and I wonder if it had to do with the scheduled maintenance that went down?

Just checked LG15 and theres no problem there...

Yes, there are a couple very minor CSS issues on LG15 and some other sites. On LG15 the backgrounds of each of the show pages are displaying the homepage header image file which they shouldn't be doing. We'll fix this and the other CSS issues on Monday.

The LGPedia issue has nothing to do with the Umbrella upgrade and has been there for awhile. I think it's only in Firefox, but let me know if it's also in IE (it's fine in Chrome). It's something we need to get to, but unfortunately we haven't had time and since it doesn't affect functionality of the LGPedia it keeps getting bumped. We'll get to it eventually.

If anyone notices any problems with sites, feel free to email us at support@eqal.com.
ModelMotion updates that site with all of the latest info, so keep an eye out there for information. 
And as a side note, I can't edit anything in the above message other than the word "From". I would put a nice space between the last two sentences if I could, but I can't.

But im not having any problems on LG15. only on the other ones. and I am using IE.
LG15 is having some issues of it's own, but the major issues were already fixed there. I think they fixed stuff there first. 
Here is a question for Jason, why does The Kind Life have a search function, and this site doesn't?
WHat is The Kind Life???  OMG, I can't keep up for anything...
FA - the Kind Life is a site done by Alicia Silverstone.  Its run on the UMBRELLA software or whatever that EQAL has brought out (its what this site and HG and LG15 all run off of)  For a list of all umbrella sites you can see them at http://umbrellatoday.blogspot.com/

As for the layout, all the sites are having layout problems (atleast on firefox for me) text is compressed and hard to read, pictures overlap areas where they shouldn't, and avatars are NOT lining up properly and overall looks very sloppy!  I think this is a combination of page template changes and font size changes...

LGPedia is also screwed up.  IF you use firefox and have greasemonkey, I know that Renegade15 is working on a fix for the LG15 site right now.  I'll link you when it is public. 

ALSO, yeah... how about that search function... glad to see Alicia has it!!!!!!!!  It could have helped me out A LOT this weekend when I was searching for something!
Ok, since this seems to be the place to post the errors lets do it here. -The Dutton logo has a line through it, a white line, also clicking the Dutton logo takes you to EQAL.com should it not take you to Dutton?- On Deputy 26 the blue arrows for paging back and forth between contests have the same white line.- The menu items at the bottom of the page are squished so that Terms of Use is on a new line under Cast ad About. It looks sloppy.-Copyright needs to be updated to include 2010.-Highlighting is gone from the Deputy 26 area.-Highlighting is gone from Inbox, as is inbox alerting, making it difficult to know when you have a new message.

To add to that list....

There is a lot of excess space on the disussions ive posted in and avtive discusions boards. The whle thing looks incredibly sloppy and disfigured. The problems for me are mostly taking place on the boards on both Harper's Globe and Level26. I haven't had any probems on Lonely girl oddly enough. But yeah the homepages, profiles, etc. look fime for me at least. just the forums ;)

I assure you that EQAL is working non stop to get these errors fix.
The best way to pass this on, A message from Miles(EQAL: CEO) word is, send a email to Support@eqal.com if you notice any bugs from the update.
Best i can say.


TJ, we know how to get ahold of him.. Thanks for speaking on behalf of EQAL.  We have been keeping seperate threads on each site to keep a running log so that OTHERS that are NOT associated with EQAL can know what has already been addressed so they are not flooded with the same emails! 

Its amazing... the only time you chime in EVER is to tell us what a bang up job EQAL are doing to fix any problems.
