    3 questions re Umbraco

    Hello

    We have been using Umbraco since April 2011 and have had no real problems until recently - if anybody can help with the following questions I would be very grateful.

    Our website - www.brentfordfccst.com

    1. Text Formatting:

    I use a Mac - when I post new pages any text formatting such as bold or italic is not applied when I publish? (It works fine when posting using a PC?

    2. Homepage News Dates:

    On our homepage the date for each post uses the US format of Month/Date/Year - how do I revert this back to European format? (This is something that just changes itself one day, I have no idea why)

    3. Schedule Publish:

    When I schedule a post to be published at a future date/time it does not work - I always have to manually publish each page?

    4. Flash animation:

    We have a Flash animation to the left of our home page - ever since this has been embedded in the site the pages seem to take an age to load...especially the home page, any ideas why this is?

    5. Homepage montage Images:

    When a browser loads the home page the scrolling montage images at the top load vertically first before resetting themselves to the correct format, its annoying, any ideas?

    Please note I am only the website editor - I am not a developer so I know nothing about code etc.

    I appreciate this is a lot of info to ask for help on but if anybody has any ideas on how to resolve these issues It would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Paul

    Paul,

    Some answers:

    1. What version of umbraco are you using also what browser on Mac?
    2. The server running umbraco has it been updated recently looks like the windows locale has been changed updated? try and set the locale to GMT and the date format to dd/mm/yyyy, the other thing that can be done is in the web.config set locale to british and further more check the macro / template that is writing out the date there may be some date formatting going on there if not you can do date formatting there.
    3. This has been a problem on some versions i would need to know which umbraco version you are using
    4. No idea sorry. 5.Not really umbraco question its probably something todo with the javascript that is doing the montage would need more information.

    regards

    Ismial

    Hello Ismail

    Thanks for the swift reply.

    As follows:

    Q1 & Q3. Umbraco version 4.6.1 - Safari version 7.0.1

    Q2, Q4 & Q5. I will pass this on to our website support company - they look after any architectural changes to the site including embedding flash movies and widgets etc.

    I appreciate your help on this Ismail, like i said I am not a developer so really do not know if i am missing any easy fixes etc so thanks for the info.

    Paul

    Paul,

    I have moved this topic to ui questions as its not v7 related. One thing with browser on mac can you try it with chrome see if that makes a difference.

    Regards
