Moved all bug reports to the archive in preparation for v0.1.3. 

how is the test/working on the early stages of upvotes/downvote system..

 

also i would say make it possible to hover over the "number" and see a side by side view of upvotes and downvotes.

Too bad we cannot comment on reports in the archive if an issue still persists in newer versions.

Resubmit it would be my recommendation. Usually I pull a bug report out of the archive when someone else submits a new bug report which covers the same issue.
You are welcome to resubmit the bug report via copying the information straight from your archived bug report (minus the computer specs that the form helps with) and add the new information.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

What determines the validity of reports? Recently I've noticed quite a few of mine that I thought were legit (descriptions, attachments etc) that never went public.

...and one weird quote notification from few weeks ago that went into "merge trash posts into here" which I assume was another report :huh:

I can explain this:

All of the ones considered feedback above can also be discussed and could be considered as a bug. So we might, in the future, ask in DMs why you consider it a bug rather than a feedback before deciding to not make it public.

With that, we also want to remake the old bug reporting guidelines to a better and updated one so it's easier for people to judge the quality of their bug report.

Yours are mostly of quality (so that's not the problem) and we're very happy about people taking the time to report bug, so thank you!

Thanks.

Though,

One was about reentry vfx disappearing too quickly, this is feedback

I'd say there was more to it than just vfx, but rather about the entire reentry profile, drag and everything around, as it made what I expected to be thrilling experience (will the probe survive? How much of the ablator will be left after reentry? Is it going to withstand the heat?), quite boring, and I didn't want to make the video 10 minutes long for the entire snail-paced descent (also partially because I didn't actually have footage of it lol). So that was more of "there's something wrong about the aerodynamics on Jool and it has following symptoms:" I say that's not intended behavior but sure, it's up to you to decide whether that counts as bug or not.

Then, if it's feedback, shouldn't that go into the suggestions subforum, or perhaps you're only collecting those internally?

I base this because it was said by the devs those kind of heat tweaking are feedback: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/221803-bug-status-1222/

We move those to the suggestions forums sometimes when it fits, but most of the time it's weirdly phrased to fit into a suggestion post, so that's why asking people to post in the suggestion forum in DMs will probably be good. (I moved your topic to suggestion, you can change the title because I didn't have the original title: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/222992-reentry-heating-vfx-need-to-stay-longer/ )

(Btw "bug hunters" are not devs, just volunteers who manage the bug reports forum, no "internal" decision from us, we can sometimes discuss with Anth or Dakota about some choice though (QA and CM))

I had a thought. I assume older reports are moved to the archive here to keep things nice and clean (mostly to make space for fresh bugs that may pop up in new patches I guess)

But they're not marked as resolved in whatever jira/trello you have there, but remain in the backlog, right? I'm asking because I'm looking for a reason to justify re-reporting old stuff that's minor enough that it doesn't affect the gameplay too much but still persists.

New patch is coming in few days and 0.2.0 will get it's own section in the archive with, I'm sure, a lot of minor items still hanging there, waiting for better times - but, if not listed in patch notes, likely still present in 0.2.1. So I'm wondering if it's worth bringing them back up.

The main reason would be for those bugs to stay in the active bug reports thread so people can continue to upvote them i guess. You assumed correctly that all reports below a certain upvote treshhold/age get moved to the archive each patch. We usually pull those reports back out when they get re-reported in the current version.

I'd say its not always needed for minor bugs, but; if you see any significant bugs in there that you've experienced again in the latest version, always feel free to submit a report linking to those and telling us they're still in the game and they should be back up in no time :)
