Revision as of 15:21, 27 July 2005
A few suggestions:
- Do not use contractions in title/heading
- I could be just missing something, but is there really a case where the malformedURI message will appear such that the address bar will contain unescaped backslashes ot spaces?
- Don't ask user to speculate. Questions like "Is your computer..." and "Do you have access..." sound fine, but:
- "Could the site be temporarily unavailable?" -> "The site may be temporarily unavailable."
- "Could the file have been moved, renamed or deleted?" -> "The file may have been moved, renamed or deleted."
