Here are screen shots of the current messages. They show that they are cleaned up and shorter. I did not hunt to find when the changes were made. I am closing this as outdated.
This is part of the effort to clean up our status reports in #665790: Redesign the status report page → .
Update manager
As noted in
#1254128: Unify update pages →
, the error messaging of update manager is extremely confusing. You can often be send to two different pages, and the most important information is often clouded in a whole bunch of additional information.
An example is the image below, the two links who say exactly the same - link to two different places!
A similar example is the one below, there is a whole lot of information there to tell you there is a security update and major update. Getting them to the action more quickly, can do a whole lot more than all the warning text.
Node access
The description for node access is unnecessarily long; "If the site is experiencing problems with permissions to content, you may have to rebuild the permissions cache. Rebuilding will remove all privileges to content and replace them with permissions based on the current modules and settings. Rebuilding may take some time if there is a lot of content or complex permission settings. After rebuilding has completed, content will automatically use the new permissions. Rebuild permissions"
It should be reduced to merely the important information, - Rebuilding permissions will reset the permissions to content.
Image styles
Even our error message around image style could be reduced: "Your server is capable of displaying file upload progress, but does not have the required libraries. It is recommended to install the PECL uploadprogress library (preferred) or to install APC."
To "Your do not have the required libraries to show file upload progress. Recommended are PCEL or APC."
Not all content is available!
It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
