You just need a half decent editor that has good extended search capabiltities Smile

I am having problems with my "today in history" block on my other site:

www.xtremejeepsofmaryland.com

I just upgraded. When you are not logged in as a user, all of the font within the block appears in BOLD.
If you are logged in, it looks right.

Where do I fix this at?

I have a simple block (ignores International/language field) available for download at my site. It's the one that's displaying the science ephemerids, 9.0.1 Final, on left of main page.

Dragonfly History Block

1.) I dont use dragonfly theme.
2.) Not interested in downloading from other peoples site, that I dont know are supported by this website.

Thanks anyways.

3.) Back to my orignal question:

How do I fix the "Today in History" block, where its showing "bold" font to visitors?

No go to this site: www.xtremejeepsofmaryland.com

Its not working on the site on my profile link, cause its not been updated to current cms yet.

Working with my production site first.

Please do not derail my thread, to promote your "custom" block. I don't have a science website and not looking to change the title.

I am trying to get help.

Thanks

Ugh!! Its not showing?? when I log out, it shows for me.

What could be causing this?

I have permission level set in the block to "visitors"

Perhaps if you resolve that conundrum, you may well resolve the original problem Smile

Mel · Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2005 5:48 pm Post subject: Re: Block: Today in History

huh? whats a conundrum?

Goes to google...

co·nun·drum Audio pronunciation of "conundrum" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (k-nndrm)
n.

1. A riddle in which a fanciful question is answered by a pun.
2. A paradoxical, insoluble, or difficult problem; a dilemma: “the conundrum, thus far unanswered, of achieving full employment without inflation” (Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.).

So, I do what?
