What is a Bug?

Computer Bug - photo by HilA bug is typically some kind of glitch, flaw, or error in the code that causes an outcome that is different than what is intended by the software design. This basically just means that something is not working the way it was designed to. Keep in mind that a bug is not the same thing as a virus despite the similarity in medical terminology. Avoid leaving comments that that don't include all the information listed below.

I have been encountering a problem today where I can't access my 'My Sites' page. Whenever I go onto the page it comes up with this:
http://www.iaza.com/work/100904C/wetpaintthing55513.jpg

What was I doing right before the problem? - I was just checking out my site and then I clicked on the 'My Sites' page and it came up with the error thing.

Describe what you saw when the problem happened: Nothing, just the error page.

Describe any error messages you received: Oops! You found a bug - how embarrassing for us. We're terribly sorry about that. If you'd like to report the problem, give us feedback on our Bugs & Suggestions site. - The Wetpaint Team.

What were you expecting to happen?: For it to load the 'My Sites' page with all my sites in a list.
