Category: documentation Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: jidanni (jidanni) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: FAQ Wizard must add links to req=show on every page Initial Comment: Welcome to move this bug to where it belongs. Q: On http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all how does one link to one of the individual FAQs? One doesn't. One must go to http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=index to find the links, because for some reason, no HREF tags are implanted into the titles on http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all or an "edit" page. I.e., I have just edited a FAQ and am starting at the results. But there is no link for me to copy to send to my friend to tell him to have a look. This is unlike Wikipedia, where there is always a link to just view, an article. Also at least in a Wikipedia TOC, one can find links to the anchors too... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1878601&group_…

Category: Web/CGI Group: 2.1 (stable) >Status: Closed >Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 1 Private: No Submitted By: jidanni (jidanni) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: make logos clickable Initial Comment: The three logos at the bottom of most mailman screens: users are used to being able to click on things for more information, so make them clickable. Or maybe you fear sending beginners on to tangents. How often does one see a non-clickable logo these days?! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2008-01-23 19:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Originator: NO In fact, these used to be clickable and it caused lots of problems both for users being sent of into tangents, and for people whose email addresses were locatable by the sites behind these links. The links were removed at the requested of the FSF in fact. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1866473&group_…

See patch. You might want to mention it too on the screens that talk about the moderator. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: jidanni (jidanni) Date: 2008-01-24 08:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1971011 Originator: YES Also noted in FAQ 3.45, i.e., too often asked. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1867277&group_…

E.g., no logout provided on admindb.cgi. Would a real company have a members only area with no logout button on the panel? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1866484&group_…

It is very easy to choose wording that does not lie and still states the facts that you are intentionally not revealing all the actions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2008-01-24 05:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO This is an intentional feature to prevent probing for membership on a list with private rosters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1878088&group_…
