===Re-Captcha doesn't work===
 
On anonymous edit, you get asked for Captcha, but the syestem already saved the page, so you either get an edit conflict alert or a time out screen. ~~ [[User:75.148.54.233|75.148.54.233]] 08:21, 26 March 2008 (PDT)
 
 
 
==Design related==
 
* leaves don't link to home page, and probably should
 
* there should be something replacing the footer ad when ads don't show
 
* <s>I'm noticing something odd with links that aren't simple internal but not quite external links.  The underlining will goes a few spaces beyond the text of the link...?  [https://www.aboutus.org/au_web_services/sponsor/portal Case in point.]</s>
 
 
 
* <s>favicon is missing for some '''(who? what browsers?)'''</s>
 
** Me, firefox [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] <small>([[User talk:TedErnst|talk]])</small> 15:33, 25 March 2008 (PDT)
 
 
 
===Navigational===
 
* Also, when editing an older version of the page, we lose the edit button - which we need to get to the front edit version if we want. ~~ [[MarkDilley]] [[Image:EditingOlderVersionIssue.png|thumbnail]]
 
* [[Talk pages]] have both a "user talk" link in the blue on top as well as an "article" link below which seems confusing/redundant (the same goes for User: [[personal pages]].  [[Kristina Weis|Kristina]] <small>[[User talk:KristinaWeis|.talk.]] [[WebIRCHelp|.chat.]]</small> 22:35, 17 March 2008 (PDT)
 
 
 
* <s>How do I get to the front page here?  ~~ [[MarkDilley]]</s> [[Image:ViewingVersionsIssue.png|thumbnail]]
 
** by clicking article or user_talk.
 
 
 
===thoughts===
 
* center the layout for folks with larger monitors?
 
** <span style="color:#257a5a;">this will probably happen soon, but is not a priority. --[[Vinh Nguyen]]</span>
 
* Having "related changes" and "what links here" at the very top left of a domain page seems quite odd to me.  And it seems logical that all of these (especially "move" should be together with "article", "edit" and "history"). [[Kristina Weis|Kristina]] <small>[[User talk:KristinaWeis|.talk.]] [[WebIRCHelp|.chat.]]</small> 22:00, 17 March 2008 (PDT)
 
** <span style="color:#257a5a;">unfortunately move refers to the ''page'' while the edit, history, article commands refer to the wiki portion of a page. Now, for non-domain pages this makes sense, as the whole ''page'' is a wiki, but for domain pages this isn't the case as there will be distinct sections other than wiki. --[[Vinh Nguyen]]</span>
 
* I think it would make sense for the first three links at the top left to be home, then help and contact.  [[Kristina Weis|Kristina]] <small>[[User talk:KristinaWeis|.talk.]] [[WebIRCHelp|.chat.]]</small> 22:09, 17 March 2008 (PDT)
 
** <span style="color:#257a5a;">''contact us'' has been demoted to an even lower position on the page, and the purpose of random page and rc is to push users into traversing the site by giving them large ''jumping-off'' points. --[[Vinh Nguyen]]</span>
 
 
 
====Ad Reaction====
 
Screenshot: [http://usera.imagecave.com/nick/aboutus/ads3.png here]
 
<s>On Domain Pages as the screenshot shows there is a google ad above the owl ad. This seems a bit messy in my opinion. I think it should be one or the other.</s>
 
--[[User:Skydork|Nick Burrus]] [ <small>[[User Talk:Skydork|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Skydork|Contribs]] </small>] 22:27, 17 March 2008 (PDT)
 
 
 
<span style="color:#257a5a;">''the placement of the ads in content will probably move over time, but for now the bottom of page is the agreed upon position.'' --[[Vinh Nguyen]]</span>
 
 
 
==Functionality--Todo==
 
=== presense meters ===
 
* presence meters (currently online)
 
** With the current backend that we have, its a bit difficult to get this working for now. So, we will continue working on other bugs and functionalities for now and will get back to this later. [[User:Arif Iqbal|Arif Iqbal]] 00:29, 26 March 2008 (PDT)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
=== Images (upload '''Not Working''') ===
 
'''Fixed''' --[[User:Ali Anwar|Ali Anwar]] 00:08, 26 March 2008 (PDT)
 
* <s> Uploads now appear to work great! -[[User:Stephen Judkins|Stephen Judkins]]
 
** And now, we used the scaled image when they exist. -- Ward
 
*** Sadly, disabled for now--we either need to implement image scaling in Ruby or do a small Mediawiki API call. -[[User:Stephen Judkins|Stephen Judkins]]
 
**** The Wiki page of the uploaded file is empty...
 
***** Seems to be working again. Uploaded several images using compostus today. --[[User:NickBurrus|Nick Burrus]] [ <small>[[User Talk:NickBurrus|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/NickBurrus|Contribs]] </small>] 05:45, 18 March 2008 (PDT)
 
** Upload file
 
* Can't upload images "The file you uploaded seems to be empty. This might be due to a typo in the file name. Please check whether you really want to upload this file." ... perhaps just erasing the filename?
 
: '''Not working again :-(''' ~~ [[MarkDilley]] 15:26, 23 March 2008 (PDT)
 
* Bring back delete
 
* Bring back re-upload/overwrite </s>
 
** File Upload work fine. Kindly state your issues if any...
 
* When viewing image pages (such as [[:Image:RVita-EChinacea.jpg]]), you can't click the image to get to the images.aboutus page where the raw image is. Without this ability, you can't use [[Template:ClickPic]] or [[Template:ExtClickPic]]. [[User:Steven Walling|Steven]] | [[User talk:Steven Walling|talk to me]] 16:03, 21 March 2008 (PDT)
 
** Steven, we can use ''right click'' and then ''view image'' whenever we want to use the templates you mentioned.  Does that sound like a solution? Should we remove this from the list for now? [[Asad Butt|Asad]]  |  [[User_talk:Asad_Mahmood_Butt|<small>*~talk~*</small>]] 01:20, 26 March 2008 (PDT)
 
*** I'm currently working on getting our old layout for images. It will address Steven's issue as well. --[[User:Ali Anwar|Ali Anwar]] 01:59, 26 March 2008 (PDT)
 
* This seems related: [[AboutUsBugs#Image_upload_No_Worky]] --[[User:Saad_Saeed|Sa'ad]] <sup>[[User talk:Saad_Saeed|talk]]•[[Special:Emailuser/Saad_Saeed|email]]•[[WebIRCHelp|chat]]</sup> 06:27, 26 March 2008 (PDT)
 
 
 
=== Redirect ===
 
* Redirect to self is not properly handled: http://www.aboutus.org/123exp-Geography.com/albania
 
: In this case, there is a redirect to the page titled "123exp-Geography.com/albania/" (notice the trailing slash). Previously this used to work fine with mediawiki but this will not work now because our new setup automagically removes the trailing slashes. Such a redirect should be avoided now. Moving the page is a quick fix.
 
* Redirect to non-existing gives confusing results ... should take you to the non-existing page or at least tell you why it stayed at the original
 
 
 
===Login===
 
* <s><big>User names are now case sensitive.</big></s>
 
* <s>Login session is forgotten even after checking "Remember my login on this computer" --[[User:Saad_Saeed|Sa'ad]] <sup>[[User talk:Saad_Saeed|talk]]•[[Special:Emailuser/Saad_Saeed|email]]•[[WebIRCHelp|chat]]</sup> 04:31, 20 March 2008 (PDT)</s>
 
* '''From AboutUsBugs page:''' Login bug is still there. This time my username is automatically inserted, but my password is not recognized. I have created and edited a lot of pages and I think, it is usefull, that not another person claims my username and continues to write in an inconsistent style and intention. <br>Interesting enough, the preset username got a capitalized first letter, just as before, when the login worked properly. Nevertheless I always had to change the first letter to lowercase to make the login work. With uppercase (as default) it didn't work however. [[User:84.149.216.205|84.149.216.205]] 16:30, 24 March 2008 (PDT)
 
 
 
===Categories===
 
* They are not comprehensive, but based on sub category pages.  Need to fix that from multiple angles, most importlantly sales. [http://compostus.aboutus.org/Category%3APortlandTech?page=1 There are 30 articles in this category.] [http://compostus.aboutus.org/Category%3APortlandTech?page=38 There are 25 articles in this category.] ~~ [[MarkDilley]] 12:05, 17 March 2008 (PDT)
 
** Category count fixed.
 
 
 
===Influence Us===
 
* ''While leaving InfluenceUs messages:''
 
** Cursor missing in FF when typing
 
** If not logged in, the system takes you to login screen thereby discarding the message that you typed. (That can be very frustrating, like you just paid for an icecream and the cream part fell off) Either the text should be re-added after login (or sign-up) is complete or facilitate a way to accommodate not loosing the text but having the person logged in before they leave the comment. --[[User:Saad_Saeed|Sa'ad]] <sup>[[User talk:Saad_Saeed|talk]]•[[Special:Emailuser/Saad_Saeed|email]]•[[WebIRCHelp|chat]]</sup> 22:49, 16 March 2008 (PDT)
 
 
 
===Server name/email===
 
* <s>Email alert links for my watchlist pages contain an error like this: aboutus.org:8888/ [[User:Julia|Julia]] 15:18, 10 March 2008 (PDT)</s>
 
** I confirm this as well. Thought it was happening to me only. Reported in aboutus bugs but i hear it is related to compost. --[[User:Saad_Saeed|Sa'ad]] <sup>[[User talk:Saad_Saeed|talk]]|[[Special:Emailuser/Saad_Saeed|email]]|[[WebIRCHelp|chat]]</sup> 03:28, 11 March 2008 (PDT)
 
 
 
* When clicking EmailUser on a userpage, the return to this page give the wrong page.
 
** Kindly reply with an example userpage where this problem occurs. --[[User:Ali Anwar|Ali Anwar]] 01:51, 15 March 2008 (PDT)
 
 
 
=== Source view===
 
can't view the source of earlier versions of protected page. ~~ [[MarkDilley]] 15:06, 23 March 2008 (PDT)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
===Pagecreation bot===
 
* I clicked on a redlink in compostus for [[Jona-li.de]] and did not get the bot screen.  I can't remember what I got.  When I looked at the history, there was the page! http://compostus.aboutus.org/index.php?title=Jona-li.de&action=history [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] <small>([[User talk:TedErnst|talk]])</small> 10:05, 19 March 2008 (PDT)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
===Adult Content===
 
* All adult content functionality should now be present. -[[User:Stephen Judkins|Stephen Judkins]]
 
** I can't flag a page in Safari (live site or in CompostUs). Works fine in Firefox. -- {{TakTalk}} 16:46, 18 March 2008 (PDT)
 
 
 
===ConnectUs===
 
* [[WikiWear.org]] doesn't show the claim just made, kind of confusing.  [[Image:ConnectUsNotShowing.png|thumbnail]] ~~ [[MarkDilley]] 14:54, 17 March 2008 (PDT)
 
* Publishing a '''''Claim''''' seems to happen a little too fast. Ted & I made one to [[Aol.com]]; I hit 'return' and it was published, no preview mode or chance to edit or delete. Luckily there were no tyops. [[User:Kasey|Kasey]] 14:22, 14 March 2008 (PDT)
 
 
 
===UberPatrol Functionality===
 
* <s>Diff in uber has disappeared again.</s>
 
* Fixname functionality does not work in UberPatrol like it used to in the past revision. Fix name now takes you to a new page where you can click to complete the fix, rather than fixing it through uber itself.
 
* <s>UberPatrol is broken at this moment. [[User:Obed Suhail|Obed Suhail]] 22:45, 25 March 2008 (PDT)</s>
 
 
 
=== Uber Patrol Styling ===
 
* Too much horizontal scrolling. Can we have uber use full screen width/smaller font?
 
* Buttons need an overhaul. Make Patrol bigger (move to the right), make others smaller.
 
 
 
=== Very Small Edit Box ===
 
* Edit box for the new registered users is too small. Hardly two rows. Maybe specify the user box dimensions in the user preferences? [[Image:VerySmallEditBox bug2.jpg|100px]]
 
 
 
===Other/uncategorized===
 
* <s>redirects should be permanent (301) rather than temporary (302)</s>
 
* Remember Me on login doesn't work --[[VartanSimonian]]
 
* on cascade-protected pages, two messages are shown instead of one: "'''WARNING:''' This page has been locked so that only users with sysop privileges can edit it. '''Warning:''' This page has been locked so that only users with sysop privileges can edit it, because it is included in the following cascade-protected page: * [[Wiki]]" --[[VartanSimonian]]
 
* view deleted history on deleted pages doesn't show --[[VartanSimonian]]
 
* move appears on Image: pages even though it is not functional on them --[[VartanSimonian]]
 
* nowiki tags don't work -[[User:Stephen Judkins|Stephen Judkins]]
 
* <s>pre tags don't work correctly. Line breaks get eaten --[[User:Ali Anwar|Ali Anwar]] 22:08, 19 March 2008 (PDT)</s>
 
* When I'm looking at a diff, and I click "edit" I expect to be editing the version on the right, but I'm actually editing the one on the left.  [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] <small>([[User talk:TedErnst|talk]])</small> 15:54, 12 March 2008 (PDT)
 
* I cannot "unprotect" a page in compoustus.  I get the dreaded, "we're sorry" message. [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] <small>([[User talk:TedErnst|talk]])</small> 14:13, 14 March 2008 (PDT)
 
** For some reason, I cannot reproduce the problem. Protecting/UnProtecting seems to work fine.
 
* [[Template:LargeCategoryTOC]] does not work the way categories are currently implimented in CompostUs.  This may be okay if categories are being re-thought anyway.  Is there a page for this, where I can participate? [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] <small>([[User talk:TedErnst|talk]])</small> 07:28, 17 March 2008 (PDT)
 
* I just tried the "scrub" function leaving checked on "history" and it simply told me that "no changes were made to the page".  We need this feature. :-) [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] <small>([[User talk:TedErnst|talk]])</small> 08:37, 17 March 2008 (PDT)
 
* When looking at an Image: page, none of the metadata shows, including the link to upload a new version. :-( -- [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] <small>([[User talk:TedErnst|talk]])</small> 17:14, 17 March 2008 (PDT)
 
* Talk page messages '''do''' turn the account box yellow, but when I click the link for "view last message", I do '''not''' get the diff, I just get the page. [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] <small>([[User talk:TedErnst|talk]])</small> 08:50, 19 March 2008 (PDT)
 
* Intersected Maps never got tested because they didn't work in the CompostUs namespace. It now occurs to me that the maps that are drawn are larger in width than our new fixed width. Presumably that's a quick fix in the parser call for the address intersect which will fix all at once. -- {{TakTalk}} 15:19, 19 March 2008 (PDT)
 
** Even still is it possible to get a list of all pages that use the address intersect? If it's easy to generate such list, I'd like to double check the maps once we switch over. If it's difficult to do (like it takes more than 15-20 minutes), then it's probably just as fast for me to hunt for said pages. -- {{TakTalk}} 15:23, 19 March 2008 (PDT)
 
** Similarly, a list of pages using the <pre><googlemap></googlemap></pre> extension. Pages like [[BasketAndFloral.com]] -- {{TakTalk}} 15:23, 19 March 2008 (PDT)
 
* We don't seem to have the ability to patrol new page creations in [[Special:RecentChanges]].  [[Kristina Weis|Kristina]] <small>[[User talk:KristinaWeis|.talk.]] [[WebIRCHelp|.chat.]]</small> 22:03, 19 March 2008 (PDT)
 
* I found an oddity... when I try to go to [[User talk:RascalsCastles.co.uk]] it tries to create a domain page unsuccessfully???  [[Kristina Weis|Kristina]] <small>[[User talk:KristinaWeis|.talk.]] [[WebIRCHelp|.chat.]]</small> 09:46, 22 March 2008 (PDT)
 
 
 
===For later?===
 
* Double-clicking to the edit the page (part of a user preference setting) is broken. I'm probably the only person in the world who uses this, but I do use it like extensively. It's also might be related to something else, since double click to edit relies on Javascript to work correctly. -- {{TakTalk}} 20:54, 9 March 2008 (PDT)
 
* The log-in screen doesn't allow a cookie to be set to "always keep me logged in" like in the regular wiki. This is important to me since I always use the same machines and am not used to having to repeatedly log in (so I find I make a bunch of edits anonymously that have to be patrolled). The converse is also true, for people using shared computers, the ability to set this for only a session is important. -- {{TakTalk}} 11:47, 10 March 2008 (PDT)
 
 
 
* '''Social Bookmarking widget''' Can a delay be added to the social bookmarking widget so that when we mouse over it, it opens after maybe half a second later. Right now it opens right away even when you fly by it quickly. The open menu hinders on the title and buttons coming in the way of quick actions. --[[User:Saad_Saeed|Sa'ad]] <sup>[[User talk:Saad_Saeed|talk]]•[[Special:Emailuser/Saad_Saeed|email]]•[[WebIRCHelp|chat]]</sup> 00:19, 18 March 2008 (PDT)
 
* We seem to have a menu overload. Granted the footer isnt a menu but we have a lot of them at the top that can be merged. [[:Image:Example.com - AboutUs Wiki Page 1205838270435.png]] --[[User:Saad_Saeed|Sa'ad]] <sup>[[User talk:Saad_Saeed|talk]]•[[Special:Emailuser/Saad_Saeed|email]]•[[WebIRCHelp|chat]]</sup> 04:19, 18 March 2008 (PDT)
 
 
 
 
 
== Waiting for others ==
 
 
 
=== User Rights ===
 
* It looks like some of the "user rights management" stuff for auto-patrolling some people isn't working.  Example: [[Special:Userrights]] and enter "Omenvorte" he shows up as ActiveCommunity but he is showing up unpatrolled in RC...  [[Kristina Weis|Kristina]] <small>[[User talk:KristinaWeis|.talk.]] [[WebIRCHelp|.chat.]]</small> 14:33, 21 March 2008 (PDT)
 
** This seems to be working.  Please watch for a specific example, and don't patrol the change.  Also, since you can now create test users, please feel warmly welcomed to create a user that demonstrates the problem.
 
 
 
==Fixed Bugs==
 
 
 
 
 
=== csv reports ===
 
* <s>csv reports of advertisers and promote us folks</s>
 
 
 
=== Advertising ===
 
* <s>Ad Channels fixed</s>
 
* <s>AdSense on for pages that haven't been explicitly marked</s>
 
** Alternative Ads running
