Beta Testers Welcome!

Thanks for being part of The Perfect World's beta test. Here are ways that you can run the software through its paces.

Functions

Registration/Login/Logout

--Try to break it with weird ids, duplicate monikers, and so on.
--We have a variety of weird situations with login/logoff still; if the interface goes lime, you've been logged out. Check the bug list to see if a like situation has been logged; add to it or create new bug.

Preferences

--Change colors
--Change fonts
--Change password
--Set Posts per Page

Moniker Link 

--Check yours; does it accurately reflect your email address if available?
--Click on other posters contact link; email them using the form. You can use any email you like to reply to; the subject line will say "A Message from [Moniker] at Test Forum".

Posting

--Try to post while not logged in.
--Use the button shortcuts for links,  brackets, and italics.
--Try the quick edit for quoting text.
       
      > quoted text

   Make sure you leave a line in between the angle bracket and the previous text, as well as a space between the angle bracket and the
--Edit
--Preview
--Delete
--Length..
--Subscribe, unsubscribe.
--Message center
--Check Subscriptions
 

Thread Creation

--Create a thread. Ensure that you are automatically subscribed.
--Ask for a hosted thread (making you thread deity).
--Check the New Threads list, and make sure that selecting a thread removes it from the list.
 

Highlights

--Create
--Edit
--Use--do you get logged out? It happens some times, mention it if it does. (this bug appears to have been fixed)
--Verify that highlight disappears after correct amount of days.
--Highlights appear randomly from thread to thread. Otherwise they could consume an entire page. Make sure you see any highlights you create regularly; we'll be monitoring that more closely as time goes on.
 

Bookmarks and Help

--Pages not available yet.
 

Bugs

--Please use the Report a Bug link to log the bug, and check periodically to see if Lime has asked for feedback. It's also good to review the bugs and add on to one if you've experienced it as well, rather than create a new one. (We will probably be running Bugzilla when we move to my server).
--Include any error messages you receive, as well as the URL.
--If you are using Netscape, mention it. (And have you downloaded Netscape 6.2? It's really a lot better).
--If you can recreate it, make sure you mention how.
 

Input

--Read What's Next thread. Thus far comments are specific to issues with MWT, but we also want to get feedback from the Mote and WX.
--Read the suggestions thread, check the Suggestions link, and log any suggestions you have.
--Consider usability, both short-term and long. As a newbie, what would make a process easier? Would it still be something you wanted once you were familiar with it?
--I'm creating explanations and the like right now; mention any page that you think needs more explanation.
--GUI suggestions?
--Your take on procedures, processes, policies is solicited.
