Comments

On Target Prep page clicked Reload Page button got "we have no idea what we were asked to do" expected page to refresh (assume that this feature is not working yet)

Typo - On Get Started page, last bullet - You may be one of those people, like me, who tries to do as much as possible before reading the documentation, on the grounds that the software should be intuitive and tollerant.

Browse Jobs page - headings, e.g. Job ID are linked, is clicking on the links supposed to sort by that column or take you to another page.
