Mind you I've been a member at Drupal.org for over 1 year and half now. I run a drupal site, I've even started a drupal hosting company. I love the idea of Drupal and generally love what everyone has put together. I've also learned the ropes around here - have help some with their issues, have gotten a lot of help with some issues, a little on others, and absolutely none on still others. That's to be expected with open source software, we all suppose.
However there is an issue that has become a tipping point on me saying something to the community at large and/or the core developers...
People regularly can not log into Drupal 4.7.x - particularly people using Explorer for windows.
This. Means. Drupal. Is. Broken.
It's an embarrasing reflection on us who deploy Drupal sites and Drupal itself when a client says they can't even log into their site.
...and it is quite known as the issue has been marked *critical* since April 26th.
Repeated attempts to re-energize the original thread has fallen on deaf ears, as has a follow-up thread I posted, as has other attempts I have made to contact anyone associated with core. People in the thread even offer $ to get the issue pushed forward.
Would someone who cares please respond somewhere about the status of this issue, and or any fixes or at least let everyone know when such a response might be forthcoming.
