One small request: Is it possible to have a rudimentary "upload' function so people can attach simple jpg or txt files? Sometimes people have screenshots or long error sequences that are necessary to describe the bug. Any attachment is fine but a thumbnail style preview would be a "nice to have" bonus.

There's something funny about you agreeing it needs to be kept simple and then asking for a new feature in the same post.

I don't understand this keep it simple mentality at all. This is a purpose-driven hack. It's going to get used by the people who need it and not used by the people who don't. Keeping it simple to have it be more "accepted" by the community really serves no purpose.

In any case, I'm not advocating turning it into something massively complex; I think it's a great hack and I'm offering suggestions to make it even better. Things like:

Subcats for bugs/trouble reasons

A way to edit bugnotes.

Email notification

Are not huge things, and in fact can use the stuff vb3 already has built in. I'm advocating change here for the good of everyone who uses this hack. Otherwise it's going to go the way of other hacks I have seen - everyone just goes off and does their own private modifications and the main hack itself dies. There must be 30+ vb2 hacks I've seen that happen to.

Let's work on making this thing better then. It's massively useful for a lot of vb owners.
