[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 20265, member: 11550"] Hi all, I know the general desire from the mods and devs is that all CVS bug reports are directed to IRC but I wanted to run this idea past everyone. Would it be possible to create a new forum in the development section for CVS bugs? this way users can discuss amongst themselves which CVS's work best for them and there will be a permanent record of progress. I have been to IRC a couple of times, but each occasion all I found was a ghost town. I guess this was because of the time difference from living in the land down under. If all forum users decided to actually post their issues/questions in the IRC channel as instructed, wouldn't it get filled with useless chatter and stop the devs from doing their excellent work? also, what is to stop the situation of a new person popping in every few hours asking for an update on DTV or similar? At least if there was an official place to post then these questions would remain for all to see. This would also be a great way for users to give feedback amongst themselves as to which CVS's seem the best in terms of gerneral stability. This already seems to be the case, with CVS reports scattered over the Bugs, Gerenal Support and any other boards so maybe it would be good to give in and make an official place for them. If necessary, make a sticky that declares that any bug reports will not be actioned by devs and are just for general information? Basically I am suggesting a way for the more advanced users to help each other and free up the devs to do what they do best (and what we can't do). Hope this all makes sense, Marcus. [/QUOTE]
