With the new forum theme that has recently been introduced there are a couple of bugs I've found, so I thought it might be useful to start a thread that can be used to report these. No pressure to fix them right away (whenever convenient) but software QA is my day job, and it might be useful to have...

92 stores failing the inspection out of 147 tested makes it hard to argue that it's some sort of procedural error at the store level.

The regular McChicken is $1.99 here, so I'm guessing the Grand McChicken would come out to around $3.29 here. From a business perspective I just don't think this makes sense though. unless they plan to eliminate the regular McChicken from the menu entirely all they'd be doing is taking the people wh...
