Open Board Page

Post by radarb8 »

I hate to be a broken record... this did come up in past posts.

earlier post on this topic <viewtopic.php?p=14642&highlight=#14642>

Is it me or does the Open Board list have some issues regarding the "first" day of the week being a Monday and availability of flights on Sundays? The first day of the week shows as a Monday (see page header below) but all the Sunday flights are "unclaimed" but they aren't until next Sunday the 13th, right? :x :?

Week 2
(Mon, 7 Jan 2008 - Sun, 13 Jan 2008) <-----------(Sunday hasn't happend yet.) :roll:

A strange thing happened to me; Yesterday morning (Sunday 6 Jan) EVERY flight was "available", including all Sunday flights... So, I mistakenly thought it was a new list for THIS week. Not noticing the dates at the top of the list (which must have been for last week) I pick a flight (PO168) which I thought was this coming Tuesday,... Not so, because NOW it shows that flight as "available". I intended to pick a flight for this week and I think I was somehow able to select a flight for last week, (in the past from the time that I selected it). :? wierd. :roll:

Is there any way to just have Sundays as the first day of the week (like most calenders), instead of Monday? I'm not sure why, but the whole Monday-first aspect, (appears to me) to be the cause of the unselectable "Unclaimed" Sunday flights.

when does the new weekly list get generated and released? Yesterday (Sunday) it appeared to be a fresh new list... it apparently was not.

Also, it is all very confusing to me how and when "unclaimed" gets placed on the list.


Just wondering. :wink:

According to most of the world - Monday is the first day of the week...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Week
The ISO week date, part of the international standard ISO 8601, also defines Monday as the first day of the week.
Now that said, there are some minor issues with the open board page but the first day of the week is not one of them... :?

I agree with Thomas. Having Sunday as the first day makes more sense.
In Christian tradition, the first day of the seven day week was Sunday. Most business and social calendars in the USA still mark Sunday as the first day of the week.
And I hope the open board issues get resolved.
