Myki Panel is broken too.

So, Myki has noticed that people don’t like how it works. They’ve done something called Mykipanel , which is inviting people to join and, I don’t know, talk about Myki or something. I guess they don’t know that there’s already something like this, it’s called “Twitter”.

Anyway, I tried to sign up and it didn’t like my @jurgen.ca email address, nor did it like my @jurgen.id.au address. So I did some quick tests on the field, and discovered whole ranges of email addresses that wouldn’t work. I sent them an email:

Your email address validator is broken. It seems to only accept email addresses with com/net/org/gov in them, which completely bars people with .id.au, asn.au and csiro.au email addresses, in addition to people who have vanity email addresses from other countries, like .me or .ca, to name a few. Please fix this. There are a number of freely-available javascripts that will accomplish this simple task.

Sigh. They can’t do anything right, can they.
