I was wondering if someone could verify some issues I have always experienced when trying to use Mantis.
I am not sure if it is with Mantis itself, or if Ardour sets specific settings for users on that site but
1.) I can only make 3-4 posts at a time and then the site restricts any use after?
Receive a pink background / red text message that says can only perform something like 10 actions but this occurs after 3-4 posts.
2.) I cannot even make replies to existing posts once this restriction occurs.
3.) I have to wait I think an hour or two to get access back?
4.) Cannot figure out a way to edit my existing posts, for example if I make an error or discover something else about an issue that I want to update my original post about.
5.) No formatting supported at all for text, to try to make things look clearer for developers.
6.) What is the best way to search on that site?
Just trying to help report bugs, does not seem like it should be so restrictive.
If anyone has any information about any of these questions please let me know.
Thank You
There is ridiculous long-standing issue that you have to submit the post or reply within 5 mins after loading the page.
So ideally prepare type the report in a text editor and then copy it to mantis.
There are no restrictions as you mentioned 1-3. 4 is intentional. 5. basic html like <pre> is supported. re 6 mantis search and filtering is amazing and one of the reasons why it’s preferable to the forum. “View Issues” : View Issues - MantisBT
Most of what you complain about is annoying, yes.
But, it is what it is I suppose…
Also, I think 3 to 4 posts might contain “10” actions. For example, I think adding tags, images, etc., might(?) be considered “different actions”. Thus 3-4 posts might get you to that “10” limit seemingly early. (-Might even have to do with invalid/blocked submissions counting as a part of this “10” limit, idk.)
The limit also helps slow-down the flow of reports (presumably) for the small team of devs behind Ardour. ~Just one way of looking at it! : )
