1. I tried again, but the same error didn't repro. I'll try to catch it off
guard again a few times. As far as I recall, it told me the account was
activated at the time..
2. Most sites I've seen use tabs, one to edit in and the other to preview. The
more I think about it the more I like the "always live" preview, but as it was
unexpected. Maybe a note above the edit box mentioning the preview below the
box would have alerted to its presence and I wouldn't have been quite so
weirded out.
3. When I tried again, I realized that my password manager didn't have this
account in it, so I had to reset the password. That worked, but right after
resetting the password I expected to be logged in, and when I went to enter my
bug, it prompted me to log in (again).
4. Maybe we could determine the codepage that SF provides? Blair

First of all, did you do all of this before or after you activated your
account? You can't do most things on the site until you validated the email
address used and some error messages may not be as good as they could be in
those cases.
1. Hmm, if you successfully signed in and had activated you account that
should work. If you have a couple minutes, could you bring up the developer
tools in your browser (F12 in IE and Chrome), look at the networking tab, make
sure it is capturing then hit the button. You should hopefully get a bit more
detail about what went wrong. That would help me, I'll look into the issue as
well.
2. Well, it's a Markdown control so what you type above may be rendered
differently below. I the preview hope this helps people that submit bugs
because on SF without indenting XML disappears because the Markdown control hid
it.
3. That similarly should just work. But if you click on new issue but haven't
verified your account then you're going to be prompted to sign in. That may
have been what happened. I'll see if I can improve the error messages for
unverified users.
4. Yeah, the dump provided by SF is less than ideal.

1. When I try to submit a bug, I get:
Error! Something went awry while submitting your changes. Please, try again.
There's no indication of just what did go awry, but trying again just repeats
the error message.
2. Also, I don't know if it is cool or disconcerting to see what I am typing
being echoed back to me in the preview area under the box I am typing in. It
did weird me out when I first discovered it was happening.
3. I used the browser back button after logging in and looking at a couple
bugs, then I clicked on "new issue" and had to sign in again. It would be nice
if it didn't forget me so quickly (literally less than 30 seconds after I had
signed in the first time).
4. I noticed on some of the bugs that appear to have been imported from SF that
some codepage mismatch happened in the import.
