Unable to view calendar for 3 weeks
I have not been able to view the calendar for the last 3 weeks. I just get colored lines across the screen every time I log in. I do the program for our branch and it is hard to post the announcements if I can't see them. Any help? Never had problems with this before.

You must be using IE8 (or IE7). See the thread Calendar View Distorted with New Update.

Might it be a good idea to put a message in the pop up that comes up announcing the update to the 2.2 version? That pop up seems to come up okay if you are viewing it with a now obsolete browser or not. That is kind of an important new feature of the 2.2 version:
NEW with 2.2! You can no longer view the calendar on most of the browsers on Church computers...
Something like that.

Seems like we used to have a warning when we used a unsupported browser. I wonder how hard it would be to add that back in?

That message still appears if you are using IE7. The message comes in two parts:RussellHltn wrote:Seems like we used to have a warning when we used a unsupported browser. I wonder how hard it would be to add that back in?
A banner is displayed as part of the header; because the header is part of most pages on LDS.org, the banner message is displayed on just about every page. In that banner, the phrase Web Browser is a link that takes you to a page that tells you to upgrade your IE and provides links for upgrading IE or installing another browser.
Additionally, a popup warning is displayed when you go into the calendar in IE7. It specifically says to use Firefox 3.0+, Safari 4.0+, or IE 8+. Interestingly, it doesn't mention Chrome. Even more interesting, it specifically says to use IE 8 or greater, when we know that IE 8 doesn't work. It seems like it shouldn't be all that difficult to adjust the browser version detection script for the Calendar to display the popup warning for IE8 (and adjust the wording, of course).
Here's a screen shot that shows both the banner and the popup:

Yes. You'll have to use another browser like Chrome.
