However it's been playing on my mind for quite some time that issue tracking systems are horribly over-complex for what most people want to use them for. Therefore we've implemented a totally new interface to sit in front of the issue tracker, now available at: Feature development tracker - ocPortal You'll see it's far easier to navigate around and get the information you really need. The full tracking system, which we still need for proper underlying issue management, is still there under the surface. So we now have the best of both worlds. I hope you all like it and it helps people feel they have a stronger voice in the process. If I answered something that you think should be in the documentation, please take the initiative and add it to the community documentation. We really need people to help out here and build a well-organised large support resource. |

I do think you should post the cost and amount raised in support credits. It looks a bit silly that something costs $5,267.46. Just make support credits the currency of the tracker. Bob |

 An opposing view to BobS: I am happier to see costs calculated in real monetary terms so that I can instantly make my own decision as to whether I can afford it (or not) on my no-budget lifestyle. However, where I am in total agreement with Bob is that each of us can 'contribute' towards a 'portion' of the cost whenever we are able to, and the figures you show are helpful in that respect - 'contributed' against 'total' Of course, you cite the € (Euro) whereas others would instinctively prefer their own currency, e.g. the US $, or AUS $, but since it is your product you have the right to 'sell' it in whatever currency you choose! All in all, this is a step forward for a non-geeky person, and I welcome it.
Take my advice. I'm not using it!

Amazing what one learns about this CMS! Of course, I've never had occasion to use the 'currency' tag before, so why should I have been aware of it? Bummer!
Take my advice. I'm not using it!

Very elegantly done with a clear view of the tasks at hand, all helping to get a better understanding of ocPortal's development strategy and possibly roll them into Hands-On Tasks.

Big improvement Chris. It's easier for me to spend when I know what the cost is in support credits. Geez, that makes me sound lazy. Bob |

You are probably right that the cost in local currency is useful to most people. But, because I plan to regularly purchase support credits which I will then use to sponsor stuff, my eye will always be on the cost in credits - do I have enough or not. At any rate, we all win with Chris's solution. Bob |

Something didn't seem quite right with what I was looking at on SeaMonkey. I find it interesting it only displayed correctly on IE8 and Opera (Linux) (don't have Opera on Windows). That is the first ocPortal page that has not displayed correctly for me. Anyone else using FireFox and it is displaying correctly? So, now I'm also giving it the same praise as everyone else (but minus half a point for not displaying correctly, even in FireFox  )!

Sorry for the trouble! I had only viewed it in Safari thus far.

Yep.That was too easy! I'll have to find something that is a little more difficult for you to fix.
