Changing Minimum Downtime

[Carroll, Jim P [PCS]]

Heh, I know the feeling.  When I first started playing with the
scheduled downtime facility, it wasn't obvious what the Fixed
checkbox was all about.  Even after reading the verbiage off to
the right.  I had to read it a number of times before it finally
sank in.  ;)

Perhaps a wee bit of Javascript to cause certain text in that
verbiage to be highlighted would be beneficial to some.  ;)

Ok now I feel bad, chalk this up as my stupidest question...
sorry guys..

It was that darn fixed button.. =(
Read over Jim's post again, and did a few tests.. looks like the fixed
button forces it to 2 hours.

So yah, whoops. Thanks to everyone that responded tho.
