What's up with Connections?

Question

What's going on with the Connections this week?  Banner still says 'Foodies ' from 2 weeks ago, the profiles listed still are called 'National Park Champions' from last week, but at least one has changed - Teddy Roosevelt has been replaced with 'Ann Bradstreet'; don't notice any other changes right off the top.

Answer 1

OK, things have changed again.  Must have been a timing issue on the name list - Connections are now 'Female Poets', but the banner is still 'Foodies'.

Answer 2

Hi Robert,

Connections were in the process of being updated. There are a lot of steps, some of which take serious processing, and some of which are done manually.

Everything should be updated now, though. What is this "Foodies" banner you mention? Is it possible that's coming from the WikiTree Browser Extension? Do you have that installed?

When you are on a WT profile, at the bottom of the page is the box that contains the Featured connections.The first thing in that box is a banner similar to the ‘Biology’ and ‘Sources’ sections in the profile data. The Text within the banner is ‘This week’s theme:’ followed by a short description of the theme.

The first line below the banner starts ‘Featured ____________ connections:’ <Name> is (then listing of featured names and * of seperation).

I do have WikiTree Browser installed, (I Think)

Robert, what browser and what version of WBE do you have?

---

I have:

 Firefox 125.0.3 (64 Bit)

Wikitree Bee 32.14. 7

WikitreeSourcer  2.2.5

Just tried MS Edge (which I have never used) and Chrome (which I don't use and is probably o/o date) - both do not present the 'Banner' in the Theme names box.  Firefox has always shown me the banner in the Box as far back as I can remember.

Some interesting stuff going on in the 'Featured Connections' section of the profile's source page, but no where is there any sign of any thing which could be read by the Bowser in err resulting in a 'banner' display; it must be coming in with some of the files being called.  All above my pay grade / time.

Please update BEE.

Updating BEE seems to have cleared the problem.  I also downloaded WBE beforehand without effect.  I am, however, somewhat confused as to what is the purpose of having 2 similar named and apparently interacting apps. Should 1 be disabled, or will both function together in harmoney? Is a migration in progress?

They work fine together if they're updated. Firefox isn't very good at keeping things updated (sometimes).
