I hate sites that have absolutely broken validation of fields. Whether they require you to enter your credit card number without spaces (because stripping spaces is SO HARD!), expect dates in the brokenest format ever (MM/DD/YYYY, cue the angry Amurricans) without telling you, or disallow special characters in the password(!)... but my favorite would have to ...

Update: I forgot to mention that you must hack a core file and adapt your theme, too. See the end of the article. Upgrading to WordPress 2.2 bleeding edge is an adventure, always. Not necessarily because they introduce new bugs--it's the new features that are sometimes worrying. When one svn up changed all the feeds from ...

In Changeset 4349, WordPress 2.1 lost the "jump to preview" / "jump to post" links. Aside from being damn useful, that changeset also broke the Kill Preview plugin. Funny enough, the changeset log message was "Some UI cleanups, changes, and various miscellany." So useful quicklinks that save a lot of scrolling are now 'clutter'? *reverts the ...

Are Snap.com actually paying people a lot of money, or why would wordpress.com think it's a good idea to enable Snap Preview Anywhere on all wordpress.com blogs?

The add-meta-tags WordPress plugin broke my WordPress 2.1 alpha site in more ways than one. Update: Version 0.7 is out with fixes. Anyway, here's a (quick and dirty) patch against 0.6 to fix things. --- add-meta-tags.php.old 2007-01-10 13:14:40.000000000 +0100 +++ add-meta-tags.php 2007-01-11 04:03:26.466994857 +0100 @@ -148,6 +148,7 @@ function amt_clean_desc($desc) { // This is a filter ...

Recently, Snap Previews Anywhere (by Snap.com) have been proliferating wildly. Some people only experimented with them for a short time, then disabled them again; others are still using them. I personally find them annoying as hell. They: break the user flow, since they just pop up right in the middle and they can't be anticipated (unlike ...

Mozillan browsers (SeaMonkey, Firefox, Flock, ...) cut off tooltips after 80 chars, including tooltips from HTML TITLE attributes: bug 45375, bug 218223. After the bug has been open for six and a half years (opened 2000-07-13), it has finally been resolved - on the Seamonkey trunk, which means the change will not make it into the ...

Windows Update does this annoying "you absolutely must restart now, or later, by which I mean that I'll keep nagging you every 5 minutes" thing. It's a pain in the ass since the popup usually occurs only after you have just settled in to work - once all your programs are open and the windows arranged, ...
