We hope that this listing is as complete as possible, however sometimes bugs can occur after a 'Bug Juice' issue has been posted. In such cases these bugs will be posted to the Status Forum. If you do not find the bug you experience listed there, please contact the Help Desk, DO NOT USE THIS ARTICLE TO REPORT BUGS!

Introduction

Welcome to Bug Juice Volume Twenty-Three, the second weekly article delivered to you by the Help Desk Team.

This article is meant to serve as the current bug listing for users for issues on the main site, prints bugs will not be noted here. Bug Juice articles will repeat the bugs weekly until each issue is resolved and any new ones will be added when they arise, when an issue is resolved the bug will be crossed off and phased out of the listing the following week.

Links to this article will be mirrored in the Status Forum.

System

Now before we get started to help you better understand some of the Status Terms that will be used throughout this article we have compiled a listing of descriptions below.


Acknowledged - This means a case has been acknowledged as being present and will be worked on soon, but is not a high priority.

Assigned - This means the case has been assigned to a developer and is in review and will be worked on soon.

Closed - This means a report has been closed, either the issue will be worked on along with another one or the issue was found not to be present anymore or will not be fixed.

Feedback - This Status means a developer has requested further information from the administrator who filed the report before they can continue working on the issue.

New - This is a new report and has not been assigned to a developer yet.

Resolved - This issue has recently been resolved.

Clicking an underlined Status above will take you to that section.

22.) Deleted Items Leaving Trash in devWATCH - If a user posts a piece and then deletes it the devwatch occasionally leaves behind an empty box in it's place, acting as if something is really there to look at.

23.) Join Process Flaw - When trying to join if you have created one too many accounts under an email address and then are asked to recover one of these accounts clicking recover brings you to a file not found page. The same happens even if you have not created too many accounts and are asked if you wish to continue joining with the new name or to recover an old one.
