hi,
is there a specific place for asking about bugs? i wasn't sure where it was :)
1. when i use the internal "message" system, there's a bug when i start to write in the blank text box. it appears to be pulling up text from another place (template?) and it pops up whenever i hit the return. very distracting. i've noticed this a while ago and thought it would be fixed by now, so thought i'd mention it here.
2. when inviting people to a group: there are a number of issues with this. someone just started a new group on wiser and they haven't done this before but went courageously forward and did it. however, when they invited everyone, they did it as a mass invitation and it went out to everyone as if they were not members of wiser. so people who were wisers (like myself) got the invitation, but it took us to a member page and never asked us if we were already members. so it confused alot of people, including me. i had to be reinvited internally as already a member of wiser. in the future, it would be helpful if someone accidentally invites someone who they don't realize is already a member that when they get to the profile page that they be given the option to join as an existing member.
another issue here in the invitation process is i am now going through the list of people and seeing if they are already on wiser. it is not a very good search function because for example i put the name "Alma Parks" and i get a search result for "zia parker". those don't seem close. how is this function working?
thanks :)
if there's a place for "bugs" please let me know. in the early days of wiser, there was a space for this but i don't know where that is now.

Hey Sherri,
1. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who's seen this issue. I hadn't reported it earlier thinking it was just related to my browser, but if others are seeing it, I'll ticket it up and have it fixed.
2. As for the invitations...that I'm a little confused about. I wished you had a screenshot for me to see what page you arrived at. I thought we had fixed this issue by allowing current members to sign-in and join the group. If the link isn't there or not very visible, then that would be something to fix. But I think this will be addressed with a fix we're putting up right now. The join membership buttons will be featured on the Home tab, so anytime someone is taken to a group page, they should be able to see how they would join.
3. As for the search query...honestly, it's the bane of my existence. :) We've tried many many ways to tweak the search logic, but there are just certain limitations when dealing with open-source search engines. We'll never be quite as good as Google, and it is frustrating to see us fail at even the most simple of search queries. I'll note yours down. There might be some more re-configuring of the search weights that would help us out here.
Thanks for posting this - I believe Mike Kwan had worked to consolidate all questions and bug reports into this group, so this is probably the place to post it. It's where we are checking the most, so anything posted here should get picked up within a day or less.
Thanks,
Honore
