Having a list of known bugs

[IctoraPost]

There's a number of bugs on this site, and some keep popping up in questions here. Why not just pin up a list of the known bugs, so there won't be as many repeated questions? There's already a list on The Site Update Survival Guide, but it's missing a few common ones, like copy-pasting the background color and the auto-saving function not always working.

 

[Kaerri]

Right now we can't even get people to check the other questions threads first :/   (We literally had three different threads on the same question once, all on the first page where they were clearly visible...)  I'll see what we can do about getting a list up, though.  It is a good idea.

@IctoraPost why don't you make the list then

 

[Chordling]

I have been working on a site FAQ.  No estimate on when it will be finished.  I will see if I can combine your suggestion into the new resource.

I could do that.

Mind if I jot down a quick list of bugs?

I could do that.

If you do it, you should get it checked by staff, as they will know if you missed anything.

I don't mind at all!

I've slogged through every thread here on Questions & Information back to the beginning of September and put together a list of bugs. Some of these may be fixed by now.


This took me way longer than I thought it would.
