Website Bug Reports

[MarcGuay]

I couldn't find a section in the tracker to report bugs on the website itself, so here she goes.

- In the Wiki, when you are not logged in and click Edit, a log in window appears.  Clicking cancel appears to attempt to bring you to the registration page but fails, instead displaying this: {ScriptUrlPath}/view/TWiki/TWikiRegistration.  

- When I was signing up for the forums the visual verification option "Request another image" did not respond.  (It appears to be linking to the wrong place).  The "Listen to the letters" function was a very useful plan B, though.

- A Contradiction:

The IRC Guidelines (http://www.rockbox.org/tw...n/view/Main/IrcGuidelines) state that only "grammatical, correctly-spelled english [sic]" (ironically, English should be capitalized) should be used, using "thx" as an example of how not to write, while at the same time the IRC Talk page (http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IrcTalk) lists a series of non-English "Commonly used abbrevations or phrases seen on IRC ", one of which is 10x for "Thanks".

Based on this, it's unclear what the rules are.  I realize the second one is more for explanation of terms and not so much an encouragement to use them, but still, it seems contradictory, or at least cloudy.

Nit-picking, I know, but I really like the firmware and think it deserves a quality website to match.

- The front page has Subversion update info shown in the order "when who where what", while the history pages have them as "when who where what".  Consistency is lovely.

Salut,
Marc

Thanks for the feedback.  But please read the forum guidelines.  In particular, please use the Modify button rather than multi-posting if no one has responded to a topic.  

I guess the IRC pages could use a bit of clarification there.  (I capitalized "English" for you, by the way.)  Some of the pages, such as the recent activity page (as can be accessed by clicking the Subversion link on the main page) are not in the wiki.  Changes to that material will require someone with special access.

Didn't catch that rule, problem solved.

Which is why I posted it here.  Any idea if the people with "special access" bother to read the forums anymore?  (I sure wouldn't, but anyway...)

Yes.  I'm sure someone in the know will be by to discuss this.

Updated the IrcTalk page with a slight clarification then.

I'm not sure what you mean by

- The front page has Subversion update info shown in the order "when who where what", while the history pages have them as "when who where what".  Consistency is lovely.

but I haven't looked at both pages yet. I assume one isn't "when who where what" and the other is? I'll try to point someone to them later, but I'm busy so maybe someone else will get to it first.

As a note, the best place to bring up website problems is on IRC to Zagor or Bagder as one of the two of them is the most likely to end up getting the job of fixing it in the end.

I took a look at those pages and there is an inconsistency in the ordering between them.  The front page's order (also the Recent activity page) is:  

When | What | Where | Who

Meanwhile, the older history pages (e.g. Commits since 4 weeks back) list the order as:

When | Who | Where | What

[MarcGuay]

L:  Thanks.  And indeed, the "what where how why because" order is as C explained it.  I got a little carried away with the ol' Copy/Paste.

C: Thanks for clearing that up.
