Anyone else try to fix bugs off there? I have tried as I want to improve

I am increasingly finding it a waste of time, too many bugs are labelled
'other' and just don't have enough info to work out what the problem
is.

In these cases I usually close them, and work on the ones that are
solvable, or at least someone has bothered to try to describe the
problem. But now can't do that as 'word verification' is broken. I type
the code, but now it just gives me another code. What a useless site.

Not totally useless, and quality of reports varies, but they have identified some routing problems for me.

I also find most of the 'other' class reports to be unusable without an explanation from the reporter. Occasionally you can spot something that doesn't look right and fix it.

The 'Verification code' is time sensitive, and at times requires a second entry if you enter it after correcting a problem for some time. If it asks more than twice, something may be broken.
