Control Panel problem
Posted: Sun Jun 17, 2012 6:16 pm
Hey everyone!
I'm a new user of this forum, and this is my first post. I was going to post to the Welcome thread at first, but I noticed a major (in my opinion) problem in the Control Panel which needed to be addressed first.
Here's what happened. I opened the "Profile" tab so that I could enter my personal information. When I was finished entering everything, I noticed the "Reset" and "Submit" buttons at the bottom of the page. Well, I wasn't ready to exit the Control Panel because I saw another tab, "Board Preferences" that I wanted to edit. So, I clicked on the "Board Preferences" tab, and made all of the entries that I wanted. When I finished that tab, and before pressing the Submit button, I wanted to go back to the "Profile" tab one last time just to make sure it was correct. When I clicked on the "Profile" tab, much to my surprise and rage, I saw that everything that I had entered previously was BLANK! I very quickly realized that I was supposed to click on the "Submit" button for each tab that I edited. This is not at all intuitive! Other websites that have similar type tabs, allow you to navigate between tabs without losing your data. Then when you are ready to submit everything, you click on the "Submit" button. In my opnion, that's how it SHOULD work on this control panel.
Thanks!
