Description Matt Rogers 2003-10-17 23:02:54 UTC

I can't currently vote for any bug that I may also be experiencing.  I'd like to see this 
feature so that you can tell people to vote for a bug that they may also experience. This 
would be simliar to the way that KDE has their bugzilla set up.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.

Voting may be effective but in many cases it's just added gloat to bugzilla...
If i search for pop3d and see 30 people voted for it, I'd visit it and it
could be for a worse problem not relating to my issue. It's also possible
that older bugs get more votes than newer ones and that wouldn't be ineffective.
I have made some changes to the quicksearch on the homepage and on the guided
format and that's as far as I'll go.
