Default Re: Solution?

Im not sure that such a site would replace the bug thread. But if you used such a site and came back here to create a tight list, then it might be very likely to replace the thread here and get read more by the devs without the need for in-betweens to read and sort thru it for them.

A preferred result here is something like this....

crash bug

1. doing xxxxx crashes the game
link to discussion thread about this bug

2. not doing xxxxxx crashes the game
link to discussion thread on this bug

major bug
1.
link
2.
link

That makes it easy to read. Easy for devs to reply to (using numbers instead of having to quote). Easy to update. And keeping a link for each item can help keep it free of debates.

Of course there is still the big problem of bugs that arent bugs but thats a headache for whoever decides to takle this.
