Hi guys,
I use Win 8.1 and 64bit bitcoin core.
Digitally backed up my wallets, the uninstalled bitcoin and armory, and deleted manually all the files, to give it close to a clean install.
Installed armory fine, but then skipped importing a wallet. So I know bitcoin isn't installed yet. Clicked Check again, and get this
Screen I'm talking about
Visual bug
I also found a second similar case
Going into settings, and trying to set it as the default bitcoin handler
So similar to the bug reported by TimS
Also, when in settings, and clicking the ? pop up over the default fee, this is muddled up too
Similar visual bug, this time via Help | Clear all confirmed
Similar visual bug via Help | Rescan databases
Same for Help | Rebuild & Rescan
Next, when I click help | armory version,
this little progress indicator pops up, but does nothing.
Also, this a group of similar minor bugs
In the dashboard screen, where there's the text, the frequently asked question link doesn't work. Links to
https://bitcoinarmory.com/faqs/But that doesn't work
Same goes for the "armory backups page" link, which is sending to
https://bitcoinarmory.com/armory-backups-are-forever/ and again getting page not found
Same goes for the "armory quick start guide" link, which is sending to
https://bitcoinarmory.com/using-our-wallet and gives page not found.
Same for "offline wallet tutorial", which is sending to
https://bitcoinarmory.com/using-our-wallet/#offlinewallet and gives page not found.
So basically none of these links work.
Finally, on this section, there's a massive block of grey blank space underneath all the text. Just a bit unnecessary
Also, you're using wordpress on your site. so you're front door at
http://bitcoinarmory.com/wp-admin is wide open.
You should really install something like "all in one wordpress security and firewall plugin" (
https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall/) and enable brute force protection to rename this to a secure login url, plus put in captchas, honeypots etc. I'm sure that URL will get blitzed, and if someone got in that way they could just change the website to point to a malicious file. PM me and I can guide you through this if you want, takes about twenty minutes to implement, and will block out a lot of shit in the first place.
I then asked to switch to expert mode on reboot, and disabled torrent downloading ( to see if new header thing is working), and installed the 0.10 bitcoin client, and opened up armory. So these were while it was initialising bitcoin engine
I then checked in the advanced mode, and noticed that multisig | lockbox manager, the lockbock documentation doesn't link anywhere
While still scanning, if i click multisig | simulfund promissery note, I get this
Similar if I do multisig | simulfund collect and merge and then click create and add a promisary note
If I hit cancel here, I also get this
Also, if I go into multisig | simulfund review and sign, don't select anything, but hit done, I get this
This isn't a bug, but the "Please note" message where it mentions the size needed needs to be updated/doubled!
Also, it's all time based in the countdown, but I noticed it near the end
For this whole sync time, couldn't you just show people how many blocks it's at and going through? People will understand the wait if they can see that there's hundreds of thousands of blocks going through. And numbers continually reducing is way better than time that doesn't make sense.
Cheers

P.S. Just a note from games, trying to figure out what was where when we were localising games from asia into english, and then into other languages, where we had the UI and text fields coming from all over the place.
For debugging builds, you can append a number/hex code to each text field in the UI and error messages (both titles and content). If an error message comes up, it makes it easier to highlight where the field needs to be changed. Also, if you have an error message, and we trigger it when testing, we can give suggestions for better text.
ie. in this
Instead of "The Bitcoin software still appears to be missing. If you just installed it, then please adjust your settings to point to the installation directory"
it would be a lot more noob friendly if it said
"Bitcoin Armory has not detected the Bitcoin Core software installed in it's standard installation directory. To fix this, click Menu | Settings. On that screen, set the Bitcoin Core installation directory, and the Home Directory. Click save, reboot Armory and try again."
