better error message for link to private list while logged out
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)
This suggestion:
Should be implemented as-is.
