@CGrant56 Basically, if something is an open issue, you can just post in that thread. It's good to know if people are still seeing something
Rule of thumb on threads in the bug forum (no matter their age):
- If it has a Fixed tag and it wasn't JUST fixed in the current patch, create a new thread.
- If it has a tag but no template, create a new thread
- If it has an open/needs input/needs saves/needs infp/ workaround tag but template is filled out, it's fine to reuse that thread. Some are really old but that doesn't make them less current.
The main thing is that issues posted in the bug forum are tracked by QA so if you have info, it's good to post there. Also the me too count is important so it's best to have all info in one dedicated thread.
The older the thread the more important it is to post and not just click me too.
So in short: If something is an established issue, it's better to post in that thread than create a new one but of course, there's always exceptions to the rule.
I will usually say when I need a new thread and that's not because someone did something wrong but simply because it's either handled a different way or the thread has become a mixture of things and it's better to start fresh.
