Another grumble about Atlassian’s Confluence. This time it’s the result of trying to view a page that requires authentication when you’re not already logged in to Confluence. Look at the state of this:

Confluence obviously knows I’m not logged in, and it definitely knows the page is restricted - it says so right there on the right. So what’s with all the angry messages and red warning icons?

I think the first version of OS X I used was 10.3 Panther, on a Power PC G4 Mac Mini. In any case, I’ve set my current background to the 10.5 Leopard one from this trip down memory lane. It makes me feel… comfortable for some reason.
