Notes on improving RC-2

1. There is no option on the Discussion Options page to Email me whenever – A comment is marked as “probably spam” and held/queued for approval.
2. In the Permalinks option page, the text entry field for entering a custom “category” URI prefix could be shorter, to avoid confusion with the other text entry field there (It’s only a word, anyways.)
3. The link manager option is the only option page with old style urls – it read options.php?option_group_id=8 . This could change to options-linkman.php or something, and the linkmanager options page could use some redesign, as it is the only page that shows the settings names as they are in the database, like ‘links_rating_type’ and ‘links_rating_ignore_zero’ which does not gel with the rest of the interface, and is not user friendly.
4. In wp-admin/users.php the Users can register themselves or you can manually create users here. link appears even when the option “Anyone can register” is deselected in General Options.
5. When there is no title to a post, the pingback sent out looks dorky. Like this:
[…] rk� title="Permanent Link: “> Filed under: General �? admin @ 12:04 am post #42 testing pingbacks and trackbacks. –> Comments &ra […]
The &ra at the end also looks weird. (Live demo at http://2fargon.com/beta/index.php?p=42#comments )
6. The password entry field for password protected posts echoes the password (be better if it showed *s)
7. Whatever the admin uses as the default writing interface is also the default writing interface for all the other users (I tested till level 5 users)
8. It is not clear exactly what level a user has to have to be able to make changes to categories, links, templates etc. Maybe the users.php page should list these.
9. A “Mass Edit Mode” for posts, similar to the existing ones for comments and links would be useful.
Thank you.
