Replace "Cheatin’ uh?" with "Sorry, something went wrong."
-
Recently, I was on my blog’s dashboard when my school’s wifi stoppped working. When I reloaded the page, I received this obnoxious message: “Cheatin’ uh?”
Ok, I’m likely oversensitive today. It’s been a bad week. But this is just so obnoxious. No, I’m not “cheatin’.” I’m entitled to be on that page, and even if I wasn’t, this error message is very antagonistic (as is this is forum post, I realise, but everyone’s entitled to be hypocritical once in a while).
Why not say, “Sorry, something went wrong,” like I’ve seen on the site before? Again, I know I’m being oversensitive, but this is the ideas forum, and this is my idea. Thanks for reading.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The cheating uh message only appears
(1) if you are not logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator
and/or
(2) if you don’t have third-party cookies enabled on your browser.
Without cookies, you won’t have the proper credentials to make changes to your blog and some of the features will not be available to you. Would you please make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled? http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/As far as the wording goes I’m not sensitive.

“Sorry, something went wrong,” implies something was wrong with the software when that simply is not true. That message is a response to operator error so to speak. When that message displays it’s a response to what’s wrong and what’s wrong is what the blogger has either done or not done.

I always have third party bookies on my browser, and I was definitely logged in under the same name. Besides, if it had been “operator error”, what’s wrong with changing the message to something less accusatory? Especially since sometimes it is not operator error.
