I am wondering if we ought to not have the preview button if the page hasnt been saved, since it is a little confusing. Another issue is I have seen a couple of people try to modify links to point to /community/techdocs.2112 or whatever instead of /docs/techdocs.2112 Is there something leading people to think the former is the proper link rather than the latter? Also a bug that I think exists is that after accepting Guido's changes to http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.3 his name is not in the history, but mine is instead. His name did show up in the admin interface though, to which i clicked edit and then made a few changes before accepting. istm his name should be in the history, but it isnt. thanks so much for the feedback so far! -- Robert Treat Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread

Yes, I beleive the problem is that we "cut off" the first name in the list. When the next person updates the page, Guido will suddenly show up :) //Magnus ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread
