Subject: " Broken" documentation site
To: webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi there,
I am writing to mention that your documentation site specifically :
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Installation_Guide/...
eg.
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Installation_Guide/sn-expert-download.html
is "broken" if you do not allow cookies.
I understand that your navigation menu works with cookies and that you want to inform people that it will not work correctly if they disable cookies. At the same time there is nothing more irritating than being told the same thing over and over again.
Your documentation website pops up a window on EVERY single page if you have cookies disabled that tells you that :"ATTENTION: The Navigation Menu requires cookies to be enabled to function correctly.".
The fact that I do not like cookies does not mean that I have to be haunted to death by the popups telling me the same thing over and over and over... If you put that warning in the red blob at the top of the navigation and make the information portion non red I will still be "warned" but at least the website will be functional.
Yes I understand that you REALLY want me to enable cookies abut at the same time I REALLY, REALLY do not want to enable cookies especially only for a navigation menu. I preferred by far your previous single page (if admittedly huge documentation) than getting a popup every few seconds that tells me something that I already know.
Please forgive my spewing but it really got up my nose. (FYI. I design and implement websites as part of my day job.)
Thank you for you time. I hope you can fix this easily.
Regards
Jeán van Wyk
