Summary | 0003559: Can't post in the forum | ||||
Description | I can't post anything in the forum, because my account is too new. That's not the bug. The bug is that I'm being told this AFTER typing out my post, and AFTER (trying to) submit it. The text I typed out is not stored anywhere in cache, so going to the new topic page gives me a new blank form. Not github-style where it remembers anything in localstorage that hasn't been submitted yet. Only the browser keeps it in volatile memory, so using the back button goes back to the add topic form without losing it. The problem is, why can I get the this add topic page in the first place, when I'm not allowed to submit literally anything? The thing to take away here, is to check things beforehand, so that you won't have to punish the user with some error, but warn them before any data can/could get lost, by not allowing them onto a page where they won't be able to do anything anyway. | ||||
