Just saying your expectations may be set a bit unrealistically high. We have some instructions on Bugzilla's bug submission page (currently 'Please do not PASTE logs and back traces'). It may make sense to add something for the bug links either there or on the page confirming the bug was enered. It would have a much better chance of being read there than on the Wiki. -- Francois Gouget <fgouget@xxxxxxx> http://fgouget.free.fr/ Linux, WinNT, MS-DOS - also known as the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
