Hello WLManiacs,
I happily present one more usability improvement that was developed (by Mark Traceur) after our last year's UpWizard bug list:
Problem: * User clicks a hyperlink to an Upload Wizard campaign (which is sth. with parameters etc.) somewhere on a project page, a list etc. * User is not logged in or does not even have an account * Result: gets the "please log in or create an account to upload an image" message. * User creates an account or logs in * User is redirected to MainPage. * User is lost.
Solution: * A "returntoquery" parameter was added. After clicking a link to a campaign and being forced to log in/account creation, the user should be redirected to the full campaign url.
I sacrificed one test sockpuppet and created a new account and it seems to work for me. However, you can test it with logging out and in again ;-)
Please test it as intense as you can, as this is an important usability step. Especially I'd like to know if the recently added "field prefilling/parameter passing" works with this (would be necessary, I tried and failed once).
Please add your comments for improvement under

Thank you!

Thats great Helke!
