Suggestion A dedicated bug tracker will yield more bug reports

    I encountered a bug in the groups section and wanted to post it, but there is no bug tracker. After browsing around I quickly got lost and started reading unrelated topics. Only some time later I found out that bugs are posted in this forum. The title nor the description of this forum indicates this.

    It is my experience that if you do not add a dedicated bug tracker / bug forum to a big board like this, that you are missing out on a lot of bug reports

    Im trying to figure that one out, as it was a few days ago. It was a text overlap issue. I cant find the location where I saw the bug and am not 100% sure it was in groups. So that's not very useful information. I will report it when I encounter it again.

    Here:

    Computerbraindude his screenname overlaps with the member avatar on the right.

    BTW: your site does not allow me to post internal links. It would make sense to only disallow external links.

    I'm still convinced that if you would add a separate forum or application for bug tracking, that you would get in much more bug reports. And that would give you a clearer picture of vbulletin 4 issues that your users may be experiencing.
