Communication flaw

Customer creates an article with a really long title. Then he asks if I can shorten, because it doesn't look good on the website. The actual title of the main article, why???? :confused: I'm pretty sure that wouldn't really solve his pro... In fact, displaying only half the title on the article page is a lot worse than...

Than what? What? :) Don't leave me guessing.

:-D Have you written this on purpose ?

The customer is always right. Stupid, dumb, and ridiculous, but always right. Anyway - you can charge him for shortening it, then charge him again for putting it back! :-D

Under normal circumstances I could do that, but this is supposed to fall under "debug-time". Prefer to debug actual bugs instead of fixing idiocy with more idiocy; so in this case it's up to the project leader to decide what the best strategy is, even though the problem is quite frivolous. :)

That's brilliant... should have thought of that, maybe next time. :) Our project manager succeeded in convincing them to change the titles without making them feel like complete jackasses. Also quite brilliant.
