Experienced a problem when trying to return to an eEye forum/forum article I'd saved as an IE Favorites.
Apparently due to the website's inability (Webmaster's design) to 'parse' such URL's to a particular forum or article, users are then unknowingly later led to an eEye webpage that users cannot get to the forums from.
This page (an expected 'favorites') ...
..apparently results when a user(s) save an eEye forum page. From that eEye webpage, users cannot access the forum as it seems the resulting links from that page (for the forums) gets users to a dysfunctional eEye webpage (see below and screenshot).
As such, it seems evident that the eEye Webmaster needs to know that there is an issue with eEye's website, predominately involving forum access.
Kindly note that the above webpage's links to the forum's, results in the following URL's dysfunctional webpage, apparently due to the eEye Webmaster having yet to recognize users are saving forum URL's and the website seems to not be capable of handling some or all of those URL's.
Note that once the user is at the above webpage, then clicks any of that page's forum links, it gets the user to a totally dysfunctional webpage, including failure to disclose that the page is 'broken' or has some other issue.
That webpage (below) is dysfunctional in nearly every manner and also seems to fail at properly displaying it's graphics as the only ones displayed are the dropdown menu buttons and the "vulnerability management solutions" text and it's artwork.
All other graphics (photos) have that small white square with the red "x" in it. Those sections are blank, and even right clicking the x's, still don't display the area pictures/graphics.
As such, its clear that the Webmaster needs to fix this, assumedly to account for the eEye website being incapable of handling user's 'favorites' for forums/forum articles.
Lastly, in that the webpage seems useful (if it worked), not only do I fail to find a link to it, nor when I am at it, doe sit work. So why isn't it being fixed, provided with an advisory that it's 'still under construction' or else taken down?
Oh yes, for those also experiencing this issue, here's the link to the forum's so you don't have to drill the home page for some 3 or 4 pages and links to get at least to a page that you can back your way into one of the post's forums, here that is.
And as for how one gets to a working forum 'home', I have no idea how that's duh'n. Yes I know, seems it should be simple enough, but I don't see it.
While I'm on my soapbox, another issue albeit minor is that once readers are at certain pages (all those stemming from 'Home' at
http://forums.eeye.com/forums/), I see no reason for all resulting pages to thereafter redundantly include the "Forum" link that sits to the right of the 'Home' link, because all that does is refresh the page your on (Discussions, etc.).
