If there is serious interest in a bugzilla app (or something similar), please reply to this thread. I would be more than happy to provide the hosting and software installation/maintenance if such a thing would be widely used on http://arswiki.org

Roy, It has been my experience (not only of late, but for several years) that the mantra of "support" is "send us your logs" and "use the latest patch". The amount of support that they provide for anything except the most current patch of the day is to answer questions with statements like: " That might be fixed in a later patch. Have you tried patch "x" yet?" OR " What version of the software are you using?" (For the Nth time for the same support issue.) OR ( And this one is my favorite) " No that is not a bug. Yes the documentation says that, but the actual design is not that. The bug is in the documentation." ( And they even say that when the functionality _changed_ between Major versions and the docs still reflect the "old versions behaviour". ) I am beginning to think that the community could benefit from using a Bugzilla (or some other such bug tracking tool) that the whole community could map to BMC bugs and publish to the whole community. Sure it would be more work for us, but we might actually be able to group evaluate a patch instead of having to suffer individually through the same issues over and over again. -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
