Not a bug, a hidden feature
-
At work I've been handed the task of being a tester for our website. The website searches through a database with different criteria. Was looking at in Monday and found a checkbox out in the middle of no where. You could check it but it apperared to have no effect on the results of the search. I reported this as a bug to the other developers. Monday comes along, and I'm told it's not a bug but a hidden feature, literally. This checkbox has value and does effect the search but is only needed by a few of our customers so the desicion was to offer it but to "hide" it. See the brilliance of this solution at: http://www.geocities.com/vengafoo/checkbox.jpg[^] Greba, My lack of content on my home page should be entertaining.

If anybody on my team came up with or implemented it, they'd be getting a visit to the woodshed. How professionals could even consider such a solution.... Michael Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch Who watches over you Make a little birdhouse in your soul - They Might Be Giants

Dare I ask what happens in the woodshed? Do they get locked in a box, tortuting them with no electronics for weeks on end? Greba, My lack of content on my home page should be entertaining.

"Taken to the woodshed" is a term originated in the American South, meaning a child is taken out to the woodshed for a spanking.

I guess we've tested it enough for you already: "This page is not available. We're sorry, but this page is currently unavailable for viewing. If this site belongs to you, please read this help page for more information and assistance." :laugh::laugh: CP Effect. "Your village called -

Ah, I usually avoid geocities sites, so haven't noted a pattern yet.:-O "Your village called -

Most geocities sites I equate with hotmail users - avoid at all costs. But I never noticed that the cut'n'paster doesn't work on them. "Your village called -
