Known ‘bugs’ in beta testing experience

Today we went into a lab as a class and logged in and uploaded all at once. This experience revealed a few more little bugs that we are currently working through. These ‘bugs’ have all been reported and we are working quickly to fix them before we broadcast the ‘Salty Chip’ more vigorously.

1. Powerpoint and presentation files. We noticed that uploading powerpoint and presentation files was quite easy to do, but when downloading the presentation files, we are finding corrupt files. Staff are checking these files and will let us know what the fix is and when it has been addressed.

2. Email. When you create a login and password, your login must be alphanumeric, and cannot contain spaces. Sometimes people create a login with spaces (e.g., Kathy Hibbert), but when the system generates a login name that I must use to sign into the system, the space is removed (KathyHibbert). We are going to add a note or some way to tell you this.

Similarly, you are asked to include a picture. You have the option of skipping the picture, and adding it later. This was not working today, so the tech team will be addressing this bug as well.

Otherwise, the rest appears to be functioning rather well!
