LOL! I did think to myself should I be nudging these people to using bug reports only. Think I got thrown off by people saying "what am i doing wrong" etc.. as sometimes its not a bug its just the user getting confused and I'm clueless on the multiplayer stuff. But yup no worries I'll endeavor to push people in the right direction when I do my own forum passes lol.
I think Marcin was 'that guy' before as he was pretty full on with me when I first visited you guys and posted that giant bug list in the forum instead of on the tickets as I was pretty new to SF back then lol! I think he's taking a break or is busy testing stuff for you so I guess it's my turn to be 'that guy' but I'll be a little more gentle then he was with me haha! 50 commits is awesome!

I have read everything. I always do. But I prioritize ruthlessly. Generally, unless I have a bit of time or a current interest in an area, I do not chase down random complaints on forums. They are just too hard to track, and so often are way short of reproducible. Right now I am deep into untangling the GUI and finally working out where the graphics slowdown[1] is (~50 commits last week, that was a good one:-). That said, there is a 100% infallible way to get my prompt attention. All it takes is a good bug report. OTOH, guess how much fun it is to be the guy on the forum who is always saying "make a bug report". Been there, still there from time to time, not thrilled with that. Also, what is said on the forums does influence what I look at next. Multiplayer is on the list to look at, but it is a tricky area that requires me to revive a bunch of sleeping neurons, and hard to test. I know it works for me on my LAN, and all I have heard to the contrary has not got above "it does not work". Now if only we had an enthusiastic contributor who was clearly a lot more into social media and could nudge some of the unfocused venting into detailed bug reports. Heh, notice a pattern with what I say whenever asked to do something?:-) Cheers, Mike Pope _______________________________________________ Freecol-developers mailing list Freecol-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freecol-developers
