Colors for award interest in cluster ?

Post by k3uk »

Previously, whenever a POTA station was noted in a cluster spot's comment field, it would be highlighted in yellow (to my eyes) ? Similar to the band and emission type in the attached screen grab. Today it seems that POTA does not get highlighted. As far as I know, I did not change anything. This happened once before, but the yellow highlight returned after a day or two. I DO have "POTA" in the "active" Awards list for cluster and UI Identification.

Have you changed the highlight colour in the program config or perhaps turned off award parser in the performance tab.

Dont forget Log4OM is looking for a valid award reference in the notes field of the cluster

Works fine here

Aha! I had turned off the cluster note award parser in performance. THANKS.

but... interesting that right after I re-enabled and saved cluster award parsing, I saw the note field highlighted in yellow. Then, subsequent spots with POTA in that column are not highlighted ( even though not worked before). Parsing is still enabled.

Yes. Takes my brain a bit longer than yours Terry. I was just thinking the same thing when I saw some later spots with the POTA reference highlighted as one would expect.

And what is frustrating (to me anyway) is that those of us on the receiving end are relying on whomever is posting the spot to properly enumerate the POTA location in the Notes field.

Does not happen that much from what I've seen.
