Bug System Rough

Hello All, I have done some more work on the proposed changes to the bug reporting system. Either a.) I am overcomplicating b.) There is a lot of work to be done c.) Both of the above In any case, I will finish the rough requirements and design documents before I try and pare the system down to the most needed and useful functions. Please comment and modify as you see fit. Notes: I have used brackets [] to denote form fields [ ] = radio boxes [ ] = text fields [ text ] = select boxes Also note that each entry will have help that is specific to that entry. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to the PHP Bug Reporting utility.
