Title:
better error message for link to private list while logged out

Area:
user interface

Summary:
I sometimes get logged out by accident, that's fine, I understand. But the error message is user-hostile and very likely to fluster less experienced users.

Description:
I have a named reading filter named "v" that I generally use to avoid big feeds and such. When I get logged out and try to reload the page, I get the following error message:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /read/v on this server.
Apache/2.2.11 (Ubuntu) mod_apreq2-20051231/2.6.0 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0 Server at msilverstar.dreamwidth.org Port 80

It would be eversomuch nicer to see something like this:

Error: you can't see filters because you aren't the logged user for this account

(with an option to log in)

Title:
Safari Compatability

Area:
entries

Summary:
Allowing scrollable entry boxes compatable with iPad's version of Safari to make it easier to edit.

Description:
The iPad version of Safari does not permit scrolling in the entry boxes (like what I am typing in now), which makes it quite difficult to read through and edit entries that are longer than one "box worth" of information. This holds true for the original entry prior to posting, as well as attempting to edit a pre-existing entry. As there are no scrolling arrows on the iPad keyboard (only the Bluetooth accessory), you cannot simply use those within the entry box to get back up to an earlier part of the entry.

LJ has the same issue, but has an iPad compatable app which you can use instead. Understandably so, it does not crossover to any other journal site so you can only use it for LJ and not DW, which I much prefer to use.

Is there any sort of coding fix to allow this (likely a frames-related issue), or possibly a DW app in the works?

Much appreciative for any information you may be able to provide.

Thanks!
