Holiday lettings availability calendar

[alifrank1]

It may be struck through but it is only half red, which to me means that it is a changeover

Ok, it is only half red to you because you don't have IE7 so you can see both red and green. Anyone who has IE7 would not see the different colours, just the strikethrough so it looks like it is not available at all.

This is the email I got today:

In response to a recent request from holidaymakers who were struggling to view colours on the calendars in the IE7 browser, we have improved our availability calendar. The latest version of the calendar now has a strikethrough on dates that are booked to help visitors see at a glance when your property is available.

.......... I'm beginning to regret starting this thread

Actually, I have got IE7 and it does show red (booked) and green (available) .....it looks exactly the same as it does in Firefox to me!

[alifrank1]

......... then what is the need for the strikethroughs then?

Confused? Yes I am!

This may seem like a stupid question (especially because I'm not on HL and don't know how their calendar works), but are you sure that you've set your changeover days at the end of a stay to "Available" (if you are supposed to, that is)?

I think of my booked weeks as Saturday to Saturday, but in availability calendars I have to mark them as Saturday to Friday.

Yes Helen, we can see that but renters can't.

Vrooje - yes, I have done my bookings correctly. I didn't have a problem until they changed it.

There is a key to the colours at the top of the calendar though that is quite clear.

Yes Helen, we can see that but renters can't.

Oops, forgot I was in the owners area.

What the renters see above the calender explains it too. I'll get my coat......

I went in as a renter on IE7 and it was still red and green, the same as for an owner - am I colourblind? What colour are you seeing?

[alifrank1]

I see red and green. It was the guy I spoke to today at holidaylettings who said some people have problems and it's in the email they sent.

.......... I think I'll drop this thread
