[opensuse-web] searching forum posts too difficult
Whose idea was it to require captcha input in order to search for existing solutions? That kind of nonsense, coupled with https-only Bugzilla access for all purposes, and mousetype CSS text forum page styling (very very rude - see http://www.useit.com/alertbox/designmistakes.html ), is almost enough to cause a switch to *buntu. :-( -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

If the http://forums.opensuse.org is the problem this ML can't help you. Forums are to some extent isolated as they manage their layout and functions, including capcha. So head over, login using Novell account and comment in appropriate forum. And it is obvious that we have no many that read http://www.useit.com/ :) It is not on topic for this thread, but this one is also good: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/980614.html Let Incoming Links Live -- Regards Rajko, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-web+help@opensuse.org

That's the proverbial chicken & egg problem. Because it's unusable, it cannot be used to complain that it's unusable.
And it is obvious that we have no many that read http://www.useit.com/ :)
Same as virtually all web forums. :-( There are only two I ever contribute to. Both have no counterparts in any other form. One isn't too bad, as it's maintainers don't default so bad that it's impossible to get into preferences to get things right-sized.

Hello Felix, you talk about forums.opensuse.org, right? I didn't get what your problem is, coud you explain it once again? We work on the redesign of our forums and I love to get input which helps us to improve the forums or other opensuse.org websites. Thank you! Robert On 14.06.2010, at 07:12, Felix Miata wrote:
