Description _ rkusterer 2009-11-13 08:19:06 UTC

I can't come up with an example of how to get to this report form that says "please notify the NetBeans webmasters" about the broken link -- maybe it happens when clicking a broken link from from wiki.netbeans.org to netbeans.org? (But when I purposefully break a link, the pages doesn't offer to contact us anymore, is that a bug?)
Anyway, when the link is formed like this it doesn't always open the submission form, but instead shows a blank page (within the navigational wrappers):

Hi Ruth,
this was caused by the anchor in the URL.

I have fixed that on the form page and working version will be live in ~15 min.

Fix: anchor is stripped out of the url before form is loaded with values form URL
