Radox, if you find any broken links in Edited Guide Entries please report them to Editorial Feedback. A388334


The curator volunteers are very responsive and will usually fix this the same day, sometimes within the hour.

Reporting things like this on the noesis forum will mean that someone else will have to search for the link and then report it to the Curators - so it would make much more sense for you to report it to EF and then drop a note to me for reference, if you like. Ta muchly!

If the Entry is in the Post smiley - thepost please could you do the same, and contact the post editors? smiley - ok

He did, but he didn't tell me which article he meant and referred to something in Noesis which I can't access, so I have to wait until he tells me exactly where and what. smiley - ok

Mrs Zen

Please make those suggestions in the Technical Wishlist thread? I couldn't find one on the Tech Team pages, so I've added one here: F21553349?thread=8261923

Which suggestion d'you mean Ben? The EF system works really well when it's used, its just that people don't seem to look at the feedback buttons. Our curators are just brilliant, but modest workers toiling away behind the scenes.

I'd like to see this whole area highlighted as a need for better navigation in the future. It's certainly an area that the Interim Guide Editors are aware needs to be more accessible, especially to readers of the older Entries. Comments appended to the bottom of such are often not replied to when the author has elvised. We're looking into ways around this, because this is where a lot of updates, corrections and so forth can come from.


The Guide Revised project that Vip started would be good to begin again - it just needed more volunteers to go through the Entries.

Here is all about it: U14449759

It's been mothballed until we have the time and volunteers to begin working with it again.

I meant Rod's suggestion:

>>Or we could add a tiny "report broken link" button to edited A-pages on all the skins.
