31180 - Need to update the voting help page.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 55429

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect, P3)

Description

[Terry Weissman]

In netscape.public.mozilla.webtools, Robert Kaiser <[e-mail]>
quite correctly says:

 The "votehelp" page does need an update. Some time ago, you could use up to
 5 votes per bug for every product but due to some changes browser and
 mailnews products now allow only one vote per bug. Webtools still allow to
 use up to 5 votes per bug.

 They needed to do that due to some other changes (the "unconfirmed" state -
 which gets "new" if there are enough bugs).

 I'm cross-posting that to the webtools NG 'cause BugZilla is part of
 webtools...

 Terry (am I right bugzilla is your thing?), I think there should be an
 update to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/votehelp.html including new voting
 rules and the influence of votes to the "unconfirmed" state..

kicking over to endico, since mozilla.org is the only installation using voting, 
and they would have a better idea of what improvments to the text should be 
made. marking 2.12

Comment 3

[Chris Yeh]

removing 2.12 from the status of this, this is a mozilla.org installation bug

Comment 4

[Matthew Tuck [:CodeMachine]]

I already did a change to this and it has been checked in for 2.12.

It's called the "VERIFIED" button.  No wonder you missed it.
