Hi, I was hoping to find out if a couple of issues are know bugs in the Shortlist Story Map. It was pointed out yesterday that when a user clicks on a site photo instead maybe zooming in to that location on the map or possibly another photo the application goes to the next site location photo? This does not seem like a desired action for the user, can you tell me if someone is working on this or why it was designed this way? Also some users were having trouble with their back arrow within the site location photo box. For instance if they did click on the photo and the photo changed to the new location they then couldn't use the arrow to move back to the original site. I'm not sure if this is a browser update issue or what. It was working for some folks and not others. Here's a link to the story map. Thanks for your help, Kathy ... View more

Hi, I'm using the Shortlist Story Map and I have the address, place, and feature finder enabled. When I type in a location the tool will find it but when I click on it instead of the map zooming in to the place I was searching for it does the opposite and zooms way out which isn't very useful. Is this a known issue? Do I have a setting not enabled correctly? As it sits right now it might be better if I disable the feature if its not working correctly. Thanks for any insight, Kathy ...

Hi, I recently upgraded to ArcGIS 10.5.1 and also had my desktop reimaged. In trying to establish a connection in ArcCatalog to an Oracle database I am now getting errors when this used to work.  I get the following error, "Failed to connect to the specified server. Do you want to continue? Underlying DBMS error[ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specifiedNo extended error.] I confirmed with our IT help that the Oracle 32 bit client is installed and the path is set in the system variable. I did find some posts relating that error to the install path of the parentheses in the ProgramFiles (x86) and so I uninstalled and tried installing to the top of the C:drive. Although I'm not 100% its installed at that location because I just see C:Desktop10.5 instead of the ArcGIS folder name but all the files look to be in that folder. I thought by installing at the C: drive location I would eliminate the parentheses issue but after I restarted I'm still getting that connection error. The connection used to work prior to installing 10.5.1, I think I had 10.3.x installed prior. Does anyone have any suggestions. IT staff is willing to help but the ESRI/Oracle compatibility isn't the most straightforward on how to diagnose. Thanks kindly, Kathy ... View more
