Re: Can't login to nightly download

Hi BJ:
Thanks - I saw the issue. Is there a better way to get things like this
fixed? Better yet, not have them enter into the system in the first
place? My concern - and it should be everyone's concern who cares about
this project -  is this is our main touch point with the outside world.
Someone downloads the nightly version and right off the bat - it doesn't
work. I'm not talking about something deep down inside the bowels of the
code base, I'm talking about page one.

 From a marketing/sales point of view this is worse than nothing at all.
Just my 2 cents.
Ruth

It's great that you're looking at things from this perspective Ruth.  
As a generality my guess is that yes, chances are you'll run into a  
number of small issues like this that people have just used  
workarounds for instead of fixing them.

And yes, it needs to be fixed (as has been discussed). In fact, I  
thought it HAD been fixed, but I guess not...
