Try selecting Student and continue then ignore the email request and press continue, tells you the email is missing - click "go back" and you a web page error

It isn't hard to break John, perhaps some extra testing is needed?

I know you will try your best to find any negatives and anything positive will be ignored : I fully expected it.

John,
I have progressed to question 12. I have faced two questions twice so far. Unfortunately question twelve has me stumped

Question twelve : Castling. The White King and Rooks have not moved in the game so far. Which of the following is correct?

Unfortunately the White King is on a White square. Frankly this all looks like it has been cobbled together in an afternoon.

Thanks for pointing that out.

The question text was in error : it has been corrected to be

"Castling. Which of the following is correct?"

Tosh, I agree I was actually trying to break it John but I was just pointing out it didn't take me long

Please carry on...

Just simply click "Take the COM test now" and "Error" appears on the left, I cannot take it that seriously to be honest

If there are flaws in the development, why not just PM John instead of plastering them all over the forum?

Most people would hope that you would have spotted this sort of thing in the development phase, which lets face it has been quite a long time. It is great that there is some progress now been made, but I think we have every right to be critical. At the 'launch' it was pretty poor and there is a fair amount of work to still be done.

[Carl Hibbard]

Next?

A nice quick fix thanks but my point is how did it go live without some deliberate try and break it testing?

Perhaps you are right Mike although it is a live site and not a test harness

[Mike Truran]

Matthew and Carl - I repeat - why not PM John on this sort of thing rather than plastering it all over the forum?

I didn't do anything at all apart from make a coffee : I'm glad that worked however!

[Matthew Turner]

Mike,
I have sent PM's to John. Clearly there were some problems, but rather than addressing them, the site went live.
