Bugzilla IS reporting it to support. What I think you might mean to say --
and I agree, by the way -- is that it ought to be easier to report these
things. Bugzilla is over-engineered in my opinion. I've been forced to use
it on a couple of systems and always found it way too cumbersome.

Yes and no. It is far too much to ask a user to go through really. It's a big turn off to users who don't have the time to be fiddling with such things.

OTOH, if what you meant was, "I should just be able to send an email to
support and tell them this is broken and then they should fix it," I can't
agree. Bugs reported with little specificity and no recipe for their
replication can be very hard indeed to identify, let alone squash. But you
know that, of course.

A client should not have to know everything about how to submit a bug, but yes, support does need as much info as possible. So if the user did not submit enough information, then support should pole the user for more information. Experienced users of course are more familiar with how the deal works and usually offer all the possible information they can think of initially, if not, support can pole the user for more.

Really though, it's this bugzilla thing that irks me the most. One of the most annoying things I have ever come across for handling support issues.

Ya figure they would have made some sort of support reporting tool with Rev itself and included it with Rev, with all the bugs we get with Rev, might have been nice to supply such a program. Ok, I'm being sarcastic a bit there, but really, a support reporting app with Rev would have been so much nicer, and not have to sign up for it either. Then again, thinking of the docs browser, maybe a support reporting tool might not be such a good idea.
