    I realize that the goal of the owners is to make money on this site, but this issue seems to keep coming back on a monthly basis?

    The first time it went on for days. Hopefully this time it gets fixed quicker. What is the issue? Why does no one look and test the site after pushing out a change?

    I'm really, really sorry. This time, it is 100% my fault.

    The issue is that the plug-in that supports the context-sensitive links has a serious bug, such that a single extra comma in a list of keywords causes every space to be construed as a keyword. As long as the keyword list is properly entered, it isn't a problem.

    I checked degreeinfo several times early this morning as I was adding new schools to the list. I SWORE that I checked it after I finished, but apparently I didn't. Brandman was the last school added. Sigh.

    Once some other more urgent things are done, I'm going to be asking our programmers to find and fix this bug so it isn't reliant solely on human accuracy to prevent this problem from happening.
