Bugs and Wishes Section
Is there a section in NEARDAT for user feedback on the website problems/improvements/maintenance? The Forum should be for discussion items on the content, on website stuff. I would suggest opening a Bugs and Wishes section under Website Assistance. Here are some items that would fall under that category: 1. The navigation outline on the left can be resized for better viewing, that’s fine. However, after re-sizing, the outline is closed and I have to re-open the all the branches that I had open before. Would you fix it so that the state of the tree is remembered. [Bryan, you will have to store in Java an open/close flag with each tree node?] 2. In the navigation outline on the left, the display of all the items is at the same level. I would suggest adding more structure by indentation, rather than by the Re:Re:Re 3. When I submitted this Comment & Feedback form, it automatically opened another coment & Feedback page. Is this meaningful? Where does it end?
