I tried the interactive configuration. In the future I will stick to
editing wwwoffle.conf.  I recall the last time I tried it similar
things happened. [But wait, happy ending]

Just some http://www.useit.com/alertbox/ style feedback on my visit to

http://localhost:8080/configuration/url?http://ads.storagereview.net/adframe.php%3Fn%3Da46880e9%26what%3Dzone:7%26target%3D_blank%26refresh%3D300

On the form there are boxes marked "other".  The user doesn't
understand what they are for. [I.e. don't tell me here, mention it on
the page itself next release.]

I made some changes to the URL, hit the change button, then went down
to select

http://localhost:8080/configuration/DontGet/no-name?http://ads.storagereview.net/adframe.php%3Fn%3Da46880e9%26what%3Dzone:7%26target%3D_blank%26refresh%3D300

[I note the URL is the same, unchanged.]

Anyways, I see the scary

Insert the value above replacing the entry selected below

Which should not be the default, if you ask me.

By the way, of the 47 items in the box, none are especially selected,
meaning the whole box is selected, perhaps.

Anyway, instead of blowing away the 47 items, I chose to place my new
entry after them, instead of replacing them. I click and

Item: no-name
The requested change was to insert the entry:

http://ads.storagereview.net/adframe.php?n=a46880e9&what=zone:7&target=_blank&refresh=300

after the entry

This change failed and generated the following error message:

The specified form action was invalid or an existing entry parameter was missing.

same when trying "before the entry"

Wait, I get it, I must first select an item... OK that worked.
There on the page, better mention that the user must first select an item.

Now going back, I find that one must clean out the "other" boxes above
before clicking the Change button, in order for the whole shebang to
work. So today we have a happy ending.
