Who?

Why?
The unofficial h2g2 Bugfinders are a group set up to search h2g2 (and DNA in general) for bugs1. We were founded on 01/02/032.
The bugs
Offsite Images
Various methods have been found by the bugfinders of displaying offsite images. The now-fixed methods are not detailed here, in case they serve as inspiration to others who might discover ways to use similar techniques to achieve the same end.Javascript
The bugfinders found a way to run a limited amount of javascript on any h2g2 page. This has now been fixed, but the method for doing so will still not be described.Creating GuideML articles on DNA sites where this is disabled
This has not been fixed, but we will not reveal how to do this. Jim Lynn described why this wouldn't be fixed in this thread.Being on premoderation on one DNA site affects creating articles only on all other DNA sites.
This will be fixed. Details are in this post. Being on premoderation on one site is not supposed to affect another DNA site at all. See also Development-Bugs, where it is listed as 'Bug 572'.SSO Errors for a pre-SSO non-migrated account
Details are in the thread: SSO-related deleted/undelete bugs.
Procedure for reporting bugs
Under the new h2g2 management, it's possible that the conventional route for reporting bugs may actually be effective!
