MOSSO - First impressions matter

While filling out the template for an account with MOSSO, the second page has a check box for "Use the information I provided on the previous step for this form". This is a reasonable option if your billing address is the same as your physical.

Sadly, the option failed silently on Firefox. It turns out, I used the larger address box to enter the suite number on a second line (the newline was accepted into this input box as expected). This caused the script to fail with an "unterminated stringĀ error" as it tried to convert that into a string internally and failed to handle the newline properly.

Using a comma and keeping it to a single line worked, but it always leaves one with an uneasy feeling when such minor errors creep into an application, especially one front ending something as complex as cloud computing.

I'm now all signed up, and the control panel seems basic, but usable. I'm transferring some smaller projects now and will update once things have progressed.
