I have absolutely nothing to do with the mentioned fields of expertise, nor do I have them anywhere in my profile. I thought these jobs were filtered by requirements before they are sent to potential translators.
Please let me know, if I did get this wrong or if something is indeed buggy in the system.
Thanks for all the good work!
Claudia

Hi Claudia,
The best way to research this is to submit a Support Request, where you should include the URL; kindly remove it from your posting. Thanks.
Best regards,

| No support needed | May 27, 2008 |
Hi Ralf,
I can't see why. I do not need support in this matter. I just throw such mails away. But I thought this could be interesting for Proz, to enhance the functionality of this process.
If this is not the case, we can just close this.
But I am a bit disappointed of your reply.

| This is not about the outsourcer | May 27, 2008 |
Now I see your problem. You think I wish to discuss an outsourcer in this Forum?
Please!
I tried to be helpful to tell you something is wrong with the software. If this is not welcome - well sorry to have wasted my and your time.
Won't happen again FOR SURE

Claudia,

Precisely my thinking. The reason why I suggested to submit a ticket is that ProZ.com staff will be able (and forced... ) to follow up within the scope of a defined process.
You think I wish to discuss an outsourcer in this Forum?
No, I don't think that was your intention - but you did.
Feedback is most welcome; to be effective, it's useful to steer it into the right channels.
I'll notify staff of this topic.
Best,
Ralf

I believe Ralf recommended the support system for reporting this problem, as it is generally the fastest way to reach staff on these matters, but posts made here are of course also monitored.
Thanks to both of you for helping us to find and resolve the issue!
Best regards,

| Algorithmic error | May 28, 2008 |
Claudia,
There was a bug in the way some of the general fields of expertise were matched. It has been fixed, which should improve the quality of matches in the future and eliminate this type of issue. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!
Best regards,
