      problemed Dec 2 '12

"problemed" is not an English verb!

The whole site is cluttered with this kind of ungrammatical prose.

Possible cause:

(Note that this is not a description of the bug, it's a suggestion as to what you might need to do to fix it. Your bug reporting system should provide a separate input field for this kind of information. It will often be filled by a developer, not the bug reporter).

That seems to have happened because you have simply changed a word here and there in the askbot framework. Someone must read through everything that appears on the screen and edit it so that it makes sense in this particular application - and is written in grammatical English. I'm willing to mark up your attempt at this, but not to do it

from scratch.

Note. You don't need to reply to this with an apology, or to tell me that you have it on your schedule, or will. You need to enter it into your bugtracking system. Then you assign it to someone on the team.

I would like to have (client) access to that system, if possible. I don't even want to consider the possibility that you don't have one...

These are left-over issues from refactoring.
