112557 - Should be a more visible note to NOT include full HTML source in bug reports.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect)

Description

[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

We've all seen them, users who try to be helpful and submit the full HTML for us
to view.  However, it really is annoying because everytime we open the bug, we
have to PgDown to get past the 1000 line HTML.  Granted, there is no foolproof
way to prevent it, but perhaps a more visible note would work.

The current text (in the additional information section) is:

Add any additional information you feel may be relevant to this bug, such as a
few lines of HTML that demonstrate the problem, a Talkback crash ID, or special
information about your computer's configuration.

I propose that be changed to something like:

Add any additional information you feel may be relevant to this bug, such as a a
Talkback crash ID, special information about your computer's configuration, or a
<strong>few lines</strong> of HTML that demonstrate the problem.  <span
style="color: red">Please do not paste the full HTML source in the comments. If
you wish to include the <em>full</em> HTML source, please use the "Create
Attachment" link on your bug after it has been posted.</span>

Just to clarify my original comments, which on second reading sound a bit
awkward, I want a more visible note to include the full HTML source as an
attachment opposed to inline in the comments.
