Closed wontfix: user wasn't even supposed to be there, let alone encounter that bug.
Today my manager totally didn't encourage me to foment rebellion over a badly skinned ticketing system by posting comparison screenshots of the badly skinned version and the normal skin that people in various superuser roles get to use.
Related: today helpdesk told me that I shouldn't even be seeing the normal skinned areas or the homepage that's not the portal, because I shouldn't have permissions to see that. If that's so, then they have some problems. However, I suspect that they're fundamentally misapprehending the permissions model of the horrible bullshit system, because it seems to me like the brand-skinned version is pastede on yey, and my permissions just don't allow me to do anything fun with the non-portal homepage. And that they'd have to do terrible things in order to actually ban me from the normal skinned homepage without actually breaking my brand-skinned experience. And, more to the point, that they won't support any errors I encounter on the page I shouldn't be on.
By dint of calling helpdesk instead of responding to the IM, I was able to avoid the helpdesk dude who I had the terrible encounter with yesterday, even though he was still assigned to the ticket. The ticket which is, fortunately, closed. (Unfortunately, closed-wontfix.)
My manager had suspected that we weren't intended to know the normal skinned homepage, thus the inciting to foment rebellion.
The other day I'd had the conversation with Purple that went a little bit like:
Azz: Don't shove beets up your nose.
Purple: [incorrigement]
Azz: [you're terrible.]
Purple: Wait, do they still have the long roots on them?
Azz: Yes.
Purple: *cringes and flinches* [litany of refusal] Because there are some places you do not need to be touched by His Noodly Appendage, and the sinuses are one!
Azz: *doesn't quite fall over laughing*
Weirdly, when I mentioned this general concept to Madam Standards, she got grossed out a bit. Alas. Ah well! Purple and I have the same sort of terrible sense of humor!

Although from my understanding, everyone's supposed to see them, just some people have access to see less *on* them.
