Maybe Mikrotik could allow "bug tracker" access only to people with
current Mikrotik certification, allowing people with MTCNA to log
Priority 3 tickets, and people with one of the MCTRE/MTCWE/MTCINE to log
Priority 1 and Priority 2 tickets.
This would limit the amount of PEBKAC tickets and encourage people to
become certified.
If they are completely unwilling to do something, then I agree that
something is needed for power users to be able to see known/confirmed
bugs for a particular RouterOS version.

Perhaps an invite-only system would be the way to go?
Personally I feel the right thing to do here is give Mikrotik the suggestion
and opportunity to offer something, if they're not interested then go ahead;
I'd contribute.
I've already approached and discussed the option of paid corporate support
with them (which they feel they can't justify at this time) however
a definitive listing of known issues (to avoid) and/or workarounds would be
invaluable in the absence of the other.

I agree. There is no sense in each one of us having to rediscover the
wheel, if one of us already have discovered it. A bug tracker is the way to
go.
Great suggestion.

Ahhhh so it's SNMP that's causing the crash. :-D
Makes sense now!
But yes, I agree there's something that's needed.
I can understand that mikrotik may not want everyone to know about every
little bug that comes across their desk, that said.. we need to know what
the causes are so we can avoid them.

Bugtracker++
With many bug trackers you can tag a problem as being specific to a
version (or range of versions). That could be handy for finding
versions that are workable.

I'm not so sure, the forums are difficult in that they have a low SNR, A
bug
tracker is better suited to being able to confirm bugs (via submitted
exchanges with MT support confirming them)

I think, it should be either forum or wiki. Because in that place the
most
important thing will be accumulating information about known bugs in,
mostly, previous versions - actual bugs of current version are easily
available in recent official forum topics.

I think a real bug tracker would work the best to be honest

So there's been a bit of talk on the forums recently about the
stablity
of
ROS 5 and as such the changelogs and known issues that MT don't
release.
When a client like ourselves identifies and issue like the SNMP
memory
leak
today MT don't let everyone know and as a result quite a few
people
are
left
with odd problems they can't explain (When was the last time you
thought
SNMP would be the cause of your major router crashing issue?)
So an Idea, Just like we have this list for MT talk outside of
MT's
somewhat
twitchy delete finger forum why dont we start a bugtrack where
everyone
can
submit problems and update us with what support tells them etc
etc,
That
way
we would have a resource we could turn to for open issues before
we
start
down the path of contacting support?
Do you want a real bugtracker, a forum, a wiki or something else?
I'd
be happy to set up whatever you like.
