Hi Andre, Thanks for your reply, let me make clear that the ULS icon is not the main issue. ULS was buggy when it was put in commons, The preferences were not getting saved until the page was refreshed. Changing the input methods was one of the main features of ULS and that was not working when implemented in commons initially, how ridiculous. Hope you can think how a common user would feel when he changed his preferences and seeing it is not applied, defenitely it is a bug and a very serious one. I definitely understand and agree to your point that there are not softwares without issues, but to find a software which dont serve the purpose it was made for is very rare and i found one in the initial implementation of ULS in commons. We had a discussion among admins in malayalam wikipedia and even withdrew ULS implementation request from malayalam wikisource since the admins were convinced that ULS was buggy at that time. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
