Daily website update

The WSU naming units feature has been restored to the Visual Standards website. You can sort lockups by college or division or see a large alphabetical listing. Clicking a link downloads a zip file of all image formats.

We continue to see improvement in all areas of the site and the work being done by our editors is a big reason why. We're seeing a slow down in support ticket volume but want to stress -- on a site with more than 15,000 page, we can't see everything. If you run into something that's not displaying right or isn't working correctly, let us know about it using the Web Support form linked in the footer on every page or by typing in wichita.edu/websupport. 

The web support site has handled 191 support tickets to date with an average time to completion at 2.8 hours. 

Remember that there are come-and-go open lab sessions on the schedule for 3-5 p.m. Thursday and 9-11 a.m. Friday this week.
