I removed

from the top of the page, which required removing a lot of mark-up, (some of) which may need to be put back - ??? Ro Thorpe 18:46, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh wow, that was my fault. I was messing with the Coordinates template and forgot to fix it.Drew R. Smith 00:15, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

problem with conversion from feet to meters

I know that people have been playing around with this but I haven't paid any attention until now. You're gonna have to refine things. I just now tried to change, in the text, 33000 feet to 33,000, which is how it should be, and that loused up the *metric* figure. Go figure. But please try to fix it -- this is not something that is just going to be confined to one volcano in Hawaii.... Hayford Peirce 01:55, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Good point. When we were making the conversion template we weren't really thinking about large figures. There's got to be a way to fix that, but I don't have the foggiest idea how. I talk to Caesar and see if he can figure something out.Drew R. Smith 04:35, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
