Challenge Overview
The goal of this challenge is to fix the number of bugs of the new topcoder site (http://www.topcoder.com/) that are outlined below.
Bug #1
Issue ID: I-112941
Bug Overview: Advanced Search Should be a GET not POST
Steps to reproduce the bug:
- go to http://www.topcoder.com/active-challenges/develop/ and do an advanced search.
- the form submission should be a GET and not a POST so that you can link to it. For instance, I may want to tweet a link to all open F2F challenges open right now. Or all challenges that end tomorrow for a FB link. The experience should be like google when you search for a keyword it produces a url like: https://www.google.com/#q=topcoder
Expected Result:
- user should able to link to an advanced search results.
Bug #2
Issue ID: I-111516
Bug Overview: Public/Private icon incorrect on Past Challenge page
Steps to reproduce the bug:
- go to http://www.topcoder.com/past-challenges/design/
- view the last column in the table.
- see that every challenge has the "eye" icon (denoting the subs are viewable).
Expected Result:
- Challenges that have private submission status should show a different icon that denotes the submissions are not viewable/private.
- just use "private" class instead of "public"
