Michael Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 I am asking for assistance testing a website improvement in development for the NihontoCalendar. If you have a moment to click http://NihontoCalendar.org/geoip and then send me an email regarding your experience I'd be obliged. You should see national news of your country if you are in one of the primary regions served by the NihontoCalendar, IE: UK, FR, US, IT, JP, DE, CA, AU,... Your email to info@NihontoCalendar.org to confirm if it worked (or didn't) is greatly appreciated. Michael http://NihontoCalendar.org Quote
Michael Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Posted July 7, 2008 I appreciate the feedback... Thanks Brian (UK), Stephen and Grey (US).

Brian Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 I'm at work, so forgive me if i don't use the work email and rather post here I tried it earlier, but didn't notice anything different, however when I try it now, I get the news feeds that are South Africa related. Nice touch I like it..and as always your site grows better and better all the time. Thanks Michael. Brian Quote

I'm glad to know that the site responded with your regional news. There has been good response across the board. A number of people have noted checking links for function; and a great idea came to readily change the calendar to upcoming months rather than going to the "list" at bottom of the month. Good suggestion - we'll look to add that function in future. Again, others if you have a moment please click http://NihontoCalendar.org/geoip and send me an email regarding your experience - you should see national news of your country if you are in one of the primary regions served by the NihontoCalendar, IE: UK, FR, US, IT, JP, DE, CA, AU, and yes...South Africa too. Your email to info@NihontoCalendar.org confirming if it worked (or didn't) is greatly appreciated. Michael http://NihontoCalendar.org Quote

Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 Guess now is fixed as it works fine for me. Quote
Guido Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 The calendar itself works o.k., but with a strange twist in regard to the news: although I'm in Japan, the news I get are from the US at home, and from Germany at my office. Both have some garbled fonts like â€â€. Quote
Michael Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Posted July 8, 2008 Carlo and Lorenzo - Grazie! Guido - That is very interesting for the programmer's review. Thank you for the specific feedback. Michael http://NihontoCalendar.org Quote
Michael Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Posted July 13, 2008 The calendar itself works o.k., but with a strange twist in regard to the news: although I'm in Japan, the news I get are from the US at home, and from Germany at my office. Both have some garbled fonts like â€â€. Guido, The programmer came back with a solution allowing correct display of non-English characters. The jury is still out on why you were directed to German and US content. In fact yours was the only response (of 200+) that noted this anomaly. In future, there will be a feature added allowing visitors to override automated redirection in favor of personal preference if desired. Again, thank you for your time and kind attention.
