Logbook Maintenance - please save your drafts before 10am
The logbook will be unavailable from 10-noon tomorrow.  If you are working on an entry during that period, please save it as a draft before 10am Pacific time.

The logbook will undergo some maintenance tomorrow morning.  This is to fix some layout issues with the quick search area for webkit based browsers (ie Safari and Chrome).

Also it appears that there still is an issue with log session times. It appears that simply extending the Shibboleth SP Session time to a large value is insufficient.  I will attempt another short term fix tomorrow.  Ultimately it must move to a system that will require re-authentication when the Shibboleth session times out.  However it is not quite a quick fix as we must ensure that no data can be lost when handling this.  Likely the user will be given a notice that they must login again, but that their post (if there were any pending) have been saved to a draft.

The logbook is going down for maintenance

Maintenance has finished on the aLOG.

The following work was done:
* Updated CSS and HTML to better layout the quick search fields on Safari, Chrome, Opera, and Internet Explorer
* Updated the display logic to highlight search terms better.  The search has always been case insensitive, now the highlighting is case insensitive and case preserving.
* Another fix to make sure the author name is always filled out.  This is a temporary fix, a more correct fix will be needed.
* Updated the database to make sure author names matched usernames, ensuring that searching will work properly.
