Hi; After this change, our logo is missed with tr.php.net. When url is tr1.php.net, i can see the our logo at the right-top. When url is tr2.php.net, i can see the second mirrors's logo at the right-top. When url is tr.php.net, i can't see any logo. There are 2 mirrors in Turkey as tr1 and tr2. Both mirrors have own logo. But in the tr.php.net, there is no logo... Is it a problem or planned? -- B.Baransel BA?CI ?stanbul Technical University tr1.php.net Alinti Daniel Brown <[email protected]> > Greetings, folks; > > There are a few things I'd like to discuss today, including the > network status, upcoming changes in requirements, new features, some > beta tools, and more.
