Safer Weather & SKYWARN Operations

  • Administrator weather changes now stop safely when another update has already won, keep entered information on errors, and preserve the original activation time during routine active-net edits.
  • Inactive repeaters remain available to administrators for correction or reactivation while staying hidden from members, without changing the club’s SKYWARN state or primary repeater automatically.
  • Official alerts, outlooks, and map products now enforce their validity windows, trusted provider boundaries, accurate map intersections, and bounded regional requests.
  • Weather refreshes show progress, keep useful information during partial failures, and prevent older delayed responses from replacing newer results.

Safer Contest Contact Logging

  • Contest contact edits and deletions now stop safely when another correction or contest closure has already won, and forms explain what to review next.
  • Contact times now come from the club server, entered frequencies must match the selected amateur band, and contest history records the details needed to understand corrections.
  • Contest forms keep errors in context, focus the first field needing attention, confirm deletions, and provide larger phone-friendly controls.
  • The active Contest Desk is now selected consistently throughout the hub and protected against duplicate active logs.

Safer, Complete Radio Marketplace

  • Listing edits, publishing, unavailable changes, deletions, and photo updates now stop safely when another change has already won and explain when the latest listing must be reloaded.
  • Every active listing and personal draft is now reachable through accurate page controls with stable ordering, while photo limits match the club's server setting.
  • Expired listings now give owners clear read-only guidance, and automatic expiration records one truthful history entry per listing.
  • Marketplace forms and photo uploads now keep entered details, identify individual file results, wrap long content safely, and provide larger phone-friendly controls with connected error guidance.

Safer, Complete Document Library

  • Every approved document is now reachable through clear page controls with accurate totals, stable ordering, and preserved search and category filters.
  • Document edits, reviews, replacements, archives, and deletions now stop safely when another person has already changed the same item and explain what to do next.
  • Uploaded document contents are now checked against their file type, repeated submissions reuse one upload, and PDF viewing uses stricter browser protections.
  • Document controls now provide clearer progress and results, connected error guidance, unique names for assistive technology, and larger phone-friendly touch targets.

Complete, Safer Announcement Conversations

  • Every active announcement and comment is now reachable through clear page controls with accurate totals and stable ordering.
  • Announcement edits, reviews, deletion requests, posting-date changes, and comments now stop safely when another person has already changed the same item and explain what to do next.
  • Repeated announcement submissions no longer create duplicates, and each deletion-request cycle now sends its own decision update.
  • Announcement controls now show progress, connect errors to the affected field, use clearer names for assistive technology, and provide larger phone-friendly touch targets.

Safer, Clearer Calendar and Event Reviews

  • Members can now submit one-time events from the Calendar, and administrators can review every pending submission from Calendar Administration.
  • Calendar edits and reviews now stop safely when another administrator has already changed the same event, and event deletion is limited to the selected event or its exact recurring series.
  • All-day events use clear first and last dates, including across daylight saving changes, while long event lists are no longer cut off.
  • Calendar dialogs now keep keyboard focus contained, event colors remain readable, and phones use a date-grouped agenda with larger event controls.
  • Long event names now stay inside their calendar day instead of widening the page.
  • Month navigation now stays within the supported January 2000 through December 2100 range and failed month loads offer a clear retry or sign-in path.
