Hello everybody
Wouldn´t it be a relatively simple issue to set up a Bug-Report-Homepage that creates an automatic mail to the developers?
Something where you can fill out a form, including system specs, which bug it is, what settings you are playing on, maybe with an attached screenshot/Crash-File?
I´m just thinking that it is much more work to read trough the bug report threads and collect information. With such a page, bug reports would be standardised...
Looks like a good idea to me, but maybe i am wrong?
Tell me what you think!

Bug trackers, such as Mantis e.g., are fine. But if people don't care about what have already been reported it will be a pain for developers if they get hundreds of notifications about the same issue.
Community Issue Tracker (http://dev-heaven.net/projects/cis/issues) for ARMA 2 seems to work pretty well. Site is run by volunteer community members and developers seem to prefer it over BI forums. Issues with lots of votes and/or good repro steps are often checked by devs.
Would be nice to have something similar for CloD too. Just a thought of devs having to waste their time browsing through the mess of beta patch threads gives me headache. ;)

Yes, good point OP.
I was just about to post this in regards to the Arma2 Ace mod tracking system . This is the way the pros handle it. Much easier to manage and update resolved issues.

Well if you see a problem in making a e-mail public, Luthier already did or didn´t he?
and setting up a new e-mail account is not that much of a problem...
