It could maybe be refined a bit more, but it does make it easier to browse problems that others are having, and its nice to know the status of them.
New bug reporting method terrible, opinion ?
- Thread starter dognosh
- Start date
My PC setup isn't very good for web browsing, ironically.
It's basically a media centre/console these days.
It's way more convenient to use the forum on mobile. I can read and play at the same time!
I've reported, bugs on the issue tracker and must say I preffered the old one, purely from the 'overview' of hot items as others have said, I like the new status indicator but dislike the way we seem to have to open a topic here to get visibility for others to be able to find it. And the biggest bugbear is the back to start if you open one to see if it's relevant... Yuck.
On the whole it's not good.

Open any Issues you want to view in a new tab.
I never bothered to report bugs seeing how long they would take to fix em. I haven't regretted such decision.
I kinda don't mind the new tracker but I certainly do mind the sheer number of times I get "the issue could not be loaded" or the page fails to display entirely.
The issue tracker has issues, go figure.

Well, I can see how some commanders might not like to give out their location on the forums in case some weirdo that doesn't like them for that thing they said in an argument about PvP decides to put their home base into lockdown or whatever.
I'm not getting any messages, and I did click on my email digest link as well. Using FireFox 66.0.3 for the record. The pictures are hosted on Imgur. and my, still mangled, signature links to my inara profile.
TIP FOR ISSUE TRACKER LOCKOUT: Try deleting your browser cache & cookies. Worked for me a while back, haven't had problems since.
report a b... oh wait! well played, frontier, well played as usual.
The new Issues Tracker will not only make it easier to report new bugs and issues to us but will also help make clear to us which issues matter most to you.
I just discovered it today actually trying to look up a new bug I discovered. Took me a while to realize why I couldn't find the "Start New Post" button and then realized all the posts were from back in early April.
The good thing was seeing the latest and most common recent bug reports were and luckily the 2 ones I just discovered were right in that recent list. So that did make it easier at least. Also it really does save time than having to manually enter all that information in like you had to before. It also prevents so many multiple posts on the same issue when you are in the "Create new bug report" section.
I didn't realize until after posting my "me too" statement on the bug report that I could have added a few screen shots as I missed that little toggle button. But I do think it might be better once we get used to it. I just got confused my first time as I wasn't expecting it at all...

Personally I can't remember such a bug... any idea how many players were affected by it? From my own experience I can tell you, that bugs which aren't reproducable on dev machines are very hard to pin down and fix.
Won't that lose all your settings for other sites ?
Others had that issue, like driver777, and they fixed it
Yeah it would, and I aint doing that because their system doesn't work (for me)
I mean, literally everything else works, and it's not like I've done anything weird with my system, so, meh.
One thing I would like to see in the Issue Tracker is a new status such as 'Fix Applied' which leaves the issue open for us to update with confirmation or additional examples of it still not having been fixed. Maybe we should be able to edit our original information (lets have a radio button verified/refuted) to comment on the Applied Fix for our circumstances.
Yes. I'm not recommending doing this, just stating what worked for me. I had no problem re-establishing other sites.
