Can’t?

by Patrick Catanzariti 09 Nov 2009

I was going onto UTS’ My Student Admin (an internal website for students where I was going to check the date and time of my exams) and noticed something which I thought was insanely redundant and poorly written. It’s probably just me being picky but it has irked me.

"Can't:" on its own line for what seems like no real reason at all.

Couldn’t you remove “Can’t:” and adjust the links to “Accessing My Student Admin” and “Logging into My Student Admin”? If you really wanted to highlight that they can’t do something, why not make it obvious and have the links say “Can’t access My Student Admin?” and “Can’t log into My Student Admin?”

The fact that I get to this page after clicking a link which says “My Student Admin” is even more irritating… why not direct me straight there rather than to what seems to be an instruction and troubleshooting page?

Probably over reacting right?
