Using Bugzilla ??

[William Case]

Hi;

I think these are questions that regular Bugzilla users can answer.
They don't seem to be answered in RH/Fedora Bugzilla Help, F11 release
notes and wiki or elsewhere that I can see.

1) I have registered with RH/Fedora Bugzilla and have an account.  I
file about 2-4 bugs per Fedora version. Yet when I open Bugzilla and get
the Home or Search page, the 'New' link just keeps returning me to (or
refreshing) the 'Search' page instead of going to a new report.

I have an URL from a couple of years ago that I use for a new report
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora but if I start
there, I dare not click a link to 'Home' or 'Search' or 'Browse' because
I can't get back to the Report page without closing down and re-using
the above URL.

To get to the 'Search' page on purpose I use
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?classification=Fedora , if
that makes a difference.

Have I set something up incorrectly or missed something in my account
registration so that the 'New' link doesn't work?

2) While loading the 'Search' page is almost instantaneous, loading a
'New' report page seems to take forever. ( at least 30 sec, often much
more)

3) How do I get my *original bug report* sent to me so I can keep a bug
thread going from the original filing through all responses?  I am sure
this is just some personal configuration or check box I have missed.

4) How can I cancel or remove a Bug report?  For example, how can I
remove a late night bug report, to which the answer becomes abundantly
obvious in the clear light of morning, after a night's sleep.  Or, are
such stupidities permanently recorded for all to see.

5) In repo, there is a Bugzilla program.  Is this program for
maintainers and developers or would it be useful to a casual user like
me?

6) Somewhere in the Fedora documents, discussing a bug on IRC or the
fedora-test-list mailing list is suggested.  Are these mainly for
maintainers and developers or are they recommend sites for users too?
