What’s the phone number for the Association

Severity: moderate
Audience: moderate
Fiscal effect: could be? goes to overall frustration level with the site
Policy question: probably
Reported: yes, just now to webmaster@aauw.org
Link: http://www.aauw.org/contact/index.cfm

The phone number on that page is theĀ  800 number for the helpline. If you want to talk to a particular staff member who isn’t listed on that page(and don’t want to wait for the helpline’s 10:00 a.m. opening), you can call 202/785-7700. That number is in the footer of AAUW letterhead so appears many places on the web site. I don’t understand why it’s hard to find it.

Discussion boards don’t handle https links

Severity: minor
Audience: very small
Fiscal effect: not yet — would affect our posting of links to donation screens?
Policy question: no
Reported: no
Link: http://discuss.aauw.org

The discussion boards just seem to be orphaned. Other problems with them have gone unresolved for more than a year. So in the grand scheme of things, this is probably not worth reporting.

But if you try to insert a link to a secure site (e.g. [L=Yugma]https://www.yugma.com/index.php[/L], the system inserts an “http://” at the start of the link which results in an invalid link: http://https://… . In this case, I could change the link to http://www.yugma.com, but that may not always be the case.
