New: bug management system

Post by sourisdudesert »

Board Game Arena is growing and growing: 48 games, and a growing community of players and developers.

Reporting bugs in the bug forum was easy, but managing them from the forum was a nightmare for game developers. It was impossible to order bugs by games, to see which bugs are the most important ones, and so on.

For this reason, we are releasing today a new bug reporting system integrated to BGA. This new tools will improve drastically our capacity to manage bugs in games and in the BGA website, and provide you a better quality of service.

A new important feature of this system is the Vote for this bug. If you have been affected by a bug that has already been reported, you can Vote for it. BGA developers will take the vote number into account when managing bugs of a specific games. This way, most important bugs will be managed first.

Important: The main drawback of this new system is that we can't take back the existing bug forum into the (more structured) new system. If you know some important bug that hasn't been fixed yet, please copy/paste it from the forum into the new system so it can be taken into account. Thanks&sorry for this, but this is really necessary to improve the way bugs are managed on BGA.

Nice implementation :).

Maybe it would be a good idea to add a "visible link" on BGA page :3.

Hi,

A visible link will be added soon. In the meantime, a link is available from the old bug forum for the "transition period".

Cheers,

And this has absolutely positively nothing at all to do with the notification that an upcoming addition to BGA is going to be the game Hive.... ... ... just saying.... :lol:

I have accessed the new system before, but now when I click on any links to it it just takes me to the news page story about the new system.
