h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

These bugs have only been tested in the Brunel skin; they are not for urgent attention, but I log them here for reference and will add to this thread if I find more. Bug 1: If I'm signed out and hover over the 'sign-in' button, it disappears/blanks. Bug 2: The 'text only' link http://wsogmm.h2g2.com/cgi-bin/education/betsie/parser.pl fails. Bug 3: The 'send it to a friend' link fails. Bug 4: In my PS, I wish to have the following GuideML: Alabaster Despite this being valid, when I hover over the link it shows as "http://wsogmm.h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/brunel/U1263973" in my browser status bar and functions as such. I suspect there is some code being auto-generated. I can get around the issue by coding the GuideML with Alabaster

Bug 5: I am signed in. I go to a users personal space and select the 'subscribe to user' link. I'm presented with 'Deep Doos Doo's Subscribed Users' page and the message: invalidparameters - You must be logged in to subscribe to a user.

The 'sign in' button appears as though I'm signed out, which I'm not. It also disappears/blanks on this page if I hover over it.

Bug 6: 'RSS Feeds' links to http://wsogmm.h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/brunel/feeds which offers (broken) BBC links.

Bug 7: I select 'my preferences', add a suffix, selected 'Brunel' from the drop down menu and press 'update details'.

Error message as follows:

Please note the page also displays/mentions BBC ID in numerous instances.

I hope you don't mind me butting in here

but when you click on 'see older journal entries' or 'older conversations' you also get the sign in button and it does disappear when you hover over it

Confirmed, Peanut, in Brunel skin.

'Show more conversations', 'Show more of my journal entries', 'More subscribed articles' and 'Show more of my guide entries' all exhibit the same behaviour.

However, 'Show more messages' does not.

Bug 8: Plain skin only. Attempting navigation past the first twenty posts inserts 5-6 blank spaces in the URL and causes the page to reload, as was (ie posts 1-20).

Removing the spaces from the URL causes the page to load correctly and display the new messages.
