I have to commend jelsoft about this, honestly. They have been kind enough to offer solutions to me when my "bug" gets listed as "not a bug" ... like for example the custom permissions install fix. John didn't HAVE to take the time to point out the relevant code lines that we coders need to reproduce in our scripts .... but he did .... so subsequently I showed KirbyDE the response and he now has a fix for this in his custom permissions how-to thread.
Another example ... even though stopping the page redirect during a product installation was a "suggestion", Mike was kind enough to listen to my reasons why I feel it's a "needed feature" and subsequently he will be turning this into an option for RC3 coders.
My point is good things can result from even issues deemed not to be bugs.
I'm NOT saying that suggestions should be posted there ... because you SHOULDN'T ... but if it's something you feel really really needs to happen before gold, then I do recommend "stating your case" to them. If your nice about it, maybe they will do something about it anyways.
Like they said in their announcements thread...
They won't think any less of you if a bug is reported to not be a bug.
Leave the egos at the door guys!!!
We ALL want a stable release.
Them as much as us.
AND THAT BUGS FORUM IS WHAT MAKES THAT HAPPEN!!!
Use it ... and if need be ... ABUSE IT SLIGHTLY since we are in the home stretch!!
