Cannot download Kicksecure because of popup

I try to download kicksecure and get this:

[Forum won’t let me upload screenshot, get “An error occurred: Sorry, you can’t embed media items in a post.” — the screenshot shows a popup that appears over the menu dropdown]

An error occurred: Sorry, you can’t include links in your posts.

That is an instant.page popup if you hover “too long” over a link to show a useful preview.

Options:

  • A) Ignore the popup and left click the Download button in the header navigation bar. That will lead to https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Download, which also has all download options.
  • B) Scroll down into the white space below the letter D in Download. That will terminate that specific instant.page poup
  • C) Go to https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Download.
  • D) Click the Download button in this forum header.
  • E) Disable JavaScript because then instant.page won’t run.

I see. You think this isn’t a problem. Well, in that case, good luck with your OS, I appreciate that you’re trying to make Linux more secure, but your response above doesn’t instill confidence.

Citation required.

Unsubstantiated Conclusions.

Normally I would expect someone to say something like: “Sorry, thanks for letting us know! We’ll have that fixed right away, please check again later today.” Or even, “Thanks, should be fixed now, give it another try and let us know if it works!”

Instead, you just told me how I should fix it myself. So I figured you thought it wasn’t a problem. The citation is your reply. It’s been 3 days since I brought the problem to your attention and the problem is still there (and much longer since the problem existed). The conclusion is substantiated by both your actions and inactions.

There was no acknowledgement of a bug, or a problem. There was no “thank you for reporting it”. And it’s not like this is some tiny thing, it’s the first major impression of your software and how people obtain it and it’s also not something that’s difficult to fix, so it means you’ve deliberately chosen to keep it that way for this long.

I am not a web developer. Fixing CSS issues isn’t trivial for me.

There’s a large amount of tasks and activities. [1]

Hence, this will take a while. As for priorities, see Community Feedback.
