LibreOffice 7.6.7 for productivity environments - The Document Foundation Blog

Noticed a redirect loop on the help.libreoffice.org website, but failed to find an appropriate address or page to report it (except for Bugzilla, which requires an account, and I see no "project" for the website there). Noticed a Mastodon contact though, maybe this will work. Or maybe somebody on Mastodon will point to an appropriate place to report #LibreOffice website issues? Either way, it should be better to write here than to ignore.
@libreoffice, <https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/sdatabase/dabawiz02pgsql.html> redirects to <https://help.libreoffice.org/en-US/noscript.html> with a meta refresh, which then redirects to <https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/main0000.html> with the "location" HTTP header, which redirects back to noscript.html, as the first one did, and the loop goes on.
As another minor website issue report, icons are broken if pages are not allowed to set custom fonts. Some contrast ratios (e.g., in the footer) are very low, some elements (e.g., operating system choice on the "download" page) do not fit into the areas dedicated for them and overflow awkwardly if minimum font size is set (to 16, for instance). Some content (e.g., on <https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/templates-and-extensions/>) is simply unavailable with JS off, while with JS on it is just hidden behind an unnecessary click.

Attention all #LibreOffice pros:
Does anyone know how I can import prices from websites like #gog into #LibreOffice? I would like to create my own #wishlist with all the prices to get a better overview of the offers.
Thank you!
Running #Debian #MATE now for a couple of weeks. Not fully switched to it yet but so far really likeing it as a #blind user. Yesterday I opened #LibreOffice Writer and was wondering about a few unlabled buttons in the printer dialogue.
Please dear devs: Every button needs a propper label. That is not just good for accessibility but should be considdered good work in general. And thanks for everyone who thinks and tries to make their work and the work of others accessible.

I've been using #LibreOffice for many years. Only when I'm forced I use another office suite, and that did not happen in the last 2.5 years.
I highly recommend LibreOffice!
