Can you recreate the bug [ ] Yes [ ] Maybe [ ] No
Subst: Maybe, what should it tell? I do not understand - please elaborate
I do like "yes", I dislike "no" (additional work for the dev/hunter), but I don´t understand how "maybe" is going to help us. That really doesn´t say nothing, I´d say remove it and add a textarea, people can information why they couldn´t reproduce the bug if selected no.

Ah... now I understand :) If someone answers yes, then later on, they will be presented with form field where they can enter in the process or script that generates the error. 'Maybe' could be the wrong term. This would be used for cases where some thinks that they can reproduce the problem - but the conditions are hard to reproduce consistently. A better term may be: Sporadically or Sometimes ? If someone answers no, then they will guided to a page that ask why they could not reproduce the bug and gives instructions on how to reproduce bugs.
