Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt November 11, 2024
bigPaws Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Apologies if I've missed an announcment on this but why is there suddenly a new bug tracker? What was wrong with the old one and does this mean we have to repost bugs that we are not sure were seen? It's a tad confusing.
kotaco Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 If you submitted bugs to our old bug tracker you can review them there. All new bugs will be reported here. It looks like they will fix/review anything posted in the old bug tracker, but from here on out all new reports should go in the new tracker.
Rhett Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 House cleaning All bugs in the old tracker will still be fixed normally and marked as such. New post go in the new section is all.
Management Charles Posted November 20, 2014 Management Posted November 20, 2014 There is text at the top of the page on both bug trackers explaining it. Please let me know if the text is not clear enough.
bfarber Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 And yes, I've still been going through all the old pre-4.0 tracker categories as well, so don't worry that the 3.x bugs will be overlooked. We will focus on higher priority 4.0 bugs first but will sweep through the older categories still.
bigPaws Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 There is text at the top of the page on both bug trackers explaining it. Please let me know if the text is not clear enough. The only text I finally spotted on the new tracker was in the key to what the coloured labels mean - it's not half as clear as the one on the old tracker. Also it doesn't make it clear whether we need to resubmit bugs to the new tracker. I'm not trying to be a PITA - just providing some constructive feedback on the way some of these things are being communicated @Charles: On a related note, I still can't see a downside to making it a bit clearer that this site is currently running on a beta version of forthcoming software. Us regulars (and you IPS staff) know this, but what about a brand new visitor who is interested in your software. The only place it's mentioned is on an announcement box on the home page - not very obvious if you come in via a sub-forum or thread link. How about something in the footer or header. Again, just trying to improve the experience for those who aren't in the loop
