Hunch Help

zach invited me using the same email already associated with my account, the create an account page from the invite link didnt seem to recognize that i was 1) already logged in, and may it should recognize there is an account associated with my email?

i realize this is a potential security/phishing issue if you can get confirmation that an email has an account associated with it via an existing user account on the web, but you might be able to more elegantly blindly make the account connection.

Hi Justin, thanks for the feedback.

You should get a message if you try to create an account while logged in. The only way this wouldn't happen is if you were logged in with Firefox, say, and then tried to create an account via Safari since they don't share cookies.

Good suggestion on recognizing that the email you were invited with is already associated with an account. Thanks!

FYI, some people may be seeing some occasional slow page loads in the "Teach Hunch About You" section. We're looking into it.

i was part way through creating a topic (adding question #2) and there wasn't an apparent way to cancel the addition of the 2nd question. (i didn't try using the browser back button, but i did try to hack the url and got a 404, then the back button took me all the way out of the topic maker)

Hi Fekaylius, After you add the first question there should be a button for submitting the current question and adding another and a button to submit the current question and move on to adding a result to your new topic.

You can always go back to your topic and then add more questions and results later using the Add Question or Add Result menu items under the Topics menu at the top of the screen (these options only show up when you are in your topic).

I can't set my last name in the Edit Profile page, because it considers the apostrophe to be invalid. Tell that to the Irish!

DOH!

I somehow convinced myself that punctuation was never legal in a name. This will be fixed within the next day.
