[users at bb.net] Quirks as we migrate to 0.9.10

[Greg Bullock]

Thank you.

We've completed our migration from 0.8.12 to 0.9.10, and we're very 
pleased.  Thank you all for the great project.

I've learned more about the Anomaly of the Vanishing ForceScheduler 
Link.  It's not that the link vanished, but rather, that the title band 
on which the link appears can persist when it should probably refresh 
(and refreshing would remove the link).

The following steps demonstrate the oddity on my system:

 1. Click the Build:Builders link in the left panel to navigate to the
    /#/builders web page.  Observe that the ForceScheduler link does not
    appear along the top band, i.e., the band that displays "<name of
    buildbot> Builds / Builders"
 2. Click on a Builder Name to Navigate to the /#/builders/:builderid
    web page.  Observe that the top band now displays "<name of
    buildbot> Builds / Builders / <name of builder>" along with the
    ForceScheduler link.
 3. Repeat Step 1, clicking the Build:Builders link in the left panel to
    navigate to the /#/builders web page.  Observe that this time the
    top band still displays "<name of buildbot> Builds / Builders /
    <name of builder>" along with the ForceScheduler link.

If this is a bug, let met know, and I can report it.

On the topic, is there a way get the ForceScheduler link to appear on 
the /#/builders web page, so it schedules all builders (rather than just 
the one builder specified on the /#/builders/:builderid web page) ?

Similarly, is there a way for the user to schedule forced builds of 
multiple, selected builders ?  Or to specify tags and force builds in 
all builders with the designated tags?
