Re: chat links

Hi, Doug:

I'm sorry I don't see what you're saying. What I see is a link to the list
of meetings. But it sounds like you have a fix? Maybe fix it or file a bug?

I'd wait on filing one on the smaller small-caps T, because, as I
mentioned, work is being done on the global nav.

Regards.

J
