Yeah, I tried it again and I got a similar thing, but instead of the whole list getting squished, only the bottom listing was.

List of businesses became squished

Dear Zoodango-

Hello, this morning I logged into zoodango. I went to the map of Seattle, clicked on the recommend button for Voltera in Ballard, and the list of businesses became truncated.

I grabbed a screenshot and will attach it so you can see.

I am using FF2 on a Mac.

Tracked Comment: Mystery comments showed up in my "Comments" section

NOTE: As an end user, I believe this to be a bug.

Hello! I logged into BK today, and I went and checked my "Comments". I noticed in the "Comments" section that there was this thread which I did not initiate and which I had never commented upon.

I have no idea why comments on this post are showing up in my "Comments" section. Attached are some screenshots.

Here is the link to the comment:

http://brightkite.com/objects/180bd03...

As an end user I:

1. Logged into my account on BK
2. Went to my "Comments" section
3. Saw people commenting on a conversation that I didn't start and never participated in
4. Scratched my head in complete bewilderment

Result: Confused!

Confusion with the "Track this thread" check mark

Description:

Note: Confusing to describe. Please look at attached screenshots.

I am in end user mode here. I am seriously confused by the "track this thread" check box which appears to the left of the submit button in the feed.

Several times now, I have "unchecked" this box, thinking that will stop me from tracking the thread, only to have it rechecked when I go back to look at it.

Even more confusing (for me at least) is that in addition to the "track this thread" check box, above it there is a link for "track this thread/untrack this thread".

When I click on the link, and change it's state, the check mark in the box doesn't disappear. It stays inside of the box, indicating to me that I didn't do anything.

This could be just me, but I was actually trying as an end user to enable this feature and couldn't make heads or tails of it.

Is it possible that the check mark in the box isn't working? Tried with multiple browers.

Repro Steps:

1. Navigate to Brightkite.com
2. Sign in
3. Go to any entry in the "What's Happening" feed > Click on the talk bubble
4. (Keep one eye on the check mark) Click on the "Track this thread" link

Result: Clicking on the "Track this thread" link does not remove the check mark from the "track this thread" check box

Expected: That clicking on a "Track this thread" link in the UI will also remove the corresponding check mark in the box

This did not reproduce with Opera 9.63 or with IE7. Don't have Safari on this PC.

Worked as a web tester for a while, and they were always interested in back button on browser problems. Didn't fix them, but they were interested in them.

Firefox 3 Specific: Button on Help screen stops working

Description:

NOTE: This problem is speicific to FF3. That is why I logged it.

If you are using FF3, the "Continue" button on the "Help" page is deactivated after pressing the BACK button from
Getsatisfaction.

This is difficult to describe, just look at the screen shots.

Repro Steps:

1. On a PC running XP open FF3
2. Navigate to www.brightkite.com
3. Sign in and select "Help"
4. From the Help screen mouse click inside the "People-Powered Customer Service for Brightkite" box
5. Mouse click on the "Continue" button > Click on the "Add Details & Submit" button
6. From the Getsatisfaction.com page, click the BACK button on the browser
7. Mouse click inside the "People-Powered Customer Service for Brightkite" box

Result: With FF3, the "Continue" button on the "People-Powered Customer Service for Brightkite" section of the Help page is deactivated after returning to this page from Getsatiscation.com by using the BACK button on the browser.

Expected: The "Continue" button should work using FF3 after the user presses the back button on the browser from Getsatisfaction.com
