RC3: Call for Bug Reports

Unfortunately with many recent releases, particularly of 3.5 RC1 and RC2 we have made the release, only to be inundated within hours with many bug reports, detailing problems that existed before the release of the latest version.

This makes development very difficult, so this is a request for anyone that thinks they may have found a bug in vBulletin 3.5 in its current incarnation to formalize the problem by making a bug report here.

Please don't leave the problem to someone else, thinking that someone else may have found the problem and will report it - if you believe that you have found a problem, please report it yourself!

It doesn't matter if the problem is minor or major, and it doesn't matter if what you think is a bug turns out not to be so - the worst that can happen is that your bug report is labelled as bogus and nobody will think any less of you for making the report.

The only other thing I would ask is that if you make (or have made) a bug report, please keep an eye on it, as the developers may ask specific questions that you will need to answer in order for the problem to be reproduced and rectified.

Thanks everyone.

It would be great if the coders and users here also reported anything they may come across.

Hrm.. I wish Kier made a discussion thread based on that announcement as I'd have loved to voice my personal opinion on the fact that only recently have bugs been reported that date pre-RC status.

I only upgraded to RC2 recently because I decided that the majority of major bugs in 3.5.0's code would have been discovered by now.. Any bugs that I've come across, I have reported them and I'm sure it's the same for several others too.. If bugs are still coming in throughout the RC's, it's simple; don't release the Gold version until it is ready. The whiners can wait, an unstable 3.5.0 option is there - it's up to them if they take it or not.

I know that I recently found some bugs in areas that I don't ordinarily use that often. I think the more obscure bugs are coming out over time.

I didn't know that people were moaning for the GOLD version, though it is quite sad to hear that pre-RC bugs are still being reported when in actual fact we need to squash these things as soon as their found, oh well it all makes a better product i suppose.

pre-Rc bugs are always reported because people are not updating their 3.5 ... that's all...

also, if no new bug is found, maybe it's because the release is stable... i don't see why we always have to have hundreds of bug reports per day... ;)

TBH, I think they need to be more positive to bug reports - having your report labelled as "bogus" is a term that will put many people off ever reporting again - and indeed, the reaction to some of the bugs I have posted has dented my enthusiasm on reporting any more. :(

Not a bad point to raise. :) Maybe repost that at vB.com.

'Solved' would make it look like it was really a bug. Honestly the bogus label doesn't bother me, it's used nearly everywhere anyway.

Bogus is a bit of a pain. I hardly ever report bugs but that's probaly because my site doesn't get hammered in the same way as most others do. When I do find something though I always report it and then it's either labelled as duplicate, which I don't mind, or bogus, which makes me think 'Why bother?'
