Some people use the whiteboard for their own marking of bugs (e.g. security, and myself). If you add more information in there, you might be breaking other people's marking / sorting algorithms. I'd say one keyword BUGDAY is enough. Any bug editor can set and remove it and the bug history will show who set and removed it when. Sorting any syntax is taken care of by Bugzilla that way. It seems to me problem you seem to try to solve (review of bugs) can also be tackled with tools displaying new bugs that have the keyword set and just removing the keyword. If bugs are repeatedly spammed with BUGDAY comments, talk to the spammers or leave a comment. Robert
