Bugs and annoyances
Posted by dbadke on 10 Jan 2007 in Tasks
- BUG: Formatting of the comments display is messed up on the "Post details" page (i.e. when you click on the comments link at the bottom of a post) - probably a CSS problem. Comments are run together, making them hard to read. Need some whitespace (it's pretty cheap these days).
- BUG: Even if a user does not have permissions to post to a blog, the "Post to this blog" link is available. However, clicking it just displays the usual post page, and if the user has permission to post to any blog, the first of such blogs becomes the one being posted to. It is not obvious this is happening, so it is easy to post to the wrong blog. Either the "Post to this blog" link should be disabled if the user can't post, or there should be a message warning of the situation.
- I find the "Auto line break" thing in creating comments annoying, as it defaults to ON. Would be nice if there could be an option to turn it off by default.
- It would be convenient if the person who is responsible for moderating comments on a blog could post comments without having to moderate them. For example, if I post a comment in the Scraps blog in reply to an earlier comment, I get an email saying I need to moderate my own comment; I can't just publish the comment in the first place, as I can with posts.
- The date displayed at the top of a post is potentially ambiguous because of its format (dd/mm/yy). It would be better if it used a non-ambiguous format, like yyyy/mm/dd, or even better "January 7, 2007" or "7 Jan 2007".
