Errors and Requests for Changes

Errors

Errors fall into several categories:

  1. If there is a technical issue, a server is not running, or a database is providing random results, please contact the service administrator who can provide support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  2. If you find a factual error on a central 'purple' website page, please report the error to us in an email.
  3. If you have found an error, or some outdated information within the course data held on the central courses database, please send your updates to course-data@brighton.ac.uk
  4. If you find an error within a school website, please report this directly to the school's site editor.

In the first two instances, it will help if you provide the following information:

  • Your name and a means of contacting you.
  • The full URL of the offending page or pages, and where on the page we can find the problem.
  • A brief description of the problem.
  • An outline of any steps we may need to perform in order to reproduce the fault.

Changes

The webteam is a small team and we have to plan carefully to ensure that we can support everyone. Obviously we need to prioritise requests for changes and any help you can offer us is greatly appreciated. Should your site, or the section of the site you are responsible for need changes, please:

  • Notify us as far ahead of time as possible.
  • Please check that we are responsible for the pages that you wish to change. You may wish to check the info on site development first.

We will post some advice for redeveloping your site here shortly.
