[opensuse] Changing email address in Novell Bugzilla?
Not sure where to ask this question. I need/want to change my registered email address for my Bugzilla account. the Bugzilla documentation tells me I can do this in the Accounts section of the Preferences... but that seems to be missing on the Novell Bugzilla (older version?). I could just create a new ID but then I would loose the continuity and history to the other bugs I've commented on etc. Does anyone here know if it's possible to change the registered email address? have I just missed the obvious (yet again)?

Nooooo not through the Flash animated login screen :-) Thanks Andreas. I was trying to change things in Bugzilla instead of at the Novell account level... the link lead me to the right place.

And while we are on this subject let me chime in with my baseball bat and beat Novell about the head and shoulders regarding their atrocious web site and how utterly unfriendly it is. Just FINDING a link to bugzilla is impossible (and when you get there, bugzilla sucks just as badly). I bet the new web designers have been sitting back waiting for the accolades to start flowing in.

Also the waits are terrible. I have to log in at least 8 times a day, because of its absurd https situation that doesn't keep you logged in for the entire length of the web browser session, and the stupid long time it takes to get a connection in the first place. As long as I have maintained any bugzilla page open since initial login, the login should not expire, at least not before 24 hours has passed.

Okay, thnx. This saves time, as i on browser startup,mostly have several bugs, and the buglist open, the buglist asks for the login, but i have to reload every bugpage afterwards, to write to them.

I don't use that method, but I don't have any of those problems. I just ckick refresh when I have been out some hours, if it says "log in" I click it and sometimes I don't have to do any thing, I'm in. Other times it asks for my password, but firefox remembers it, I have to type the mster pasword instead, enter, and I'm back at the correct bug report. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I guess you don't use your browser history much. When you refresh and it brings you to the login screen, you do it, then it refreshes back to the bug, you're actually at a different URL, bloating your browser history with two entries for every bug this happens on. For me, that's most bugs, and twice as much time to find the right bug in history due to twice as much scrolling to get through the whole list and suffering the errors from trying to open one that doesn't match your current login state. -- "Let us not love with words or in talk only.

When I refresh, clicking on the refresh icon, the history doesn't change. It doesn't bring me directly to the login page, either: it stays on the same page, but refreshed, and I see that the grey bar on top of the page says: ... # | My Votes # | Doc# | Preferences # | Log in I just click there, and this time I was logged in directly, and without typing anything I was back on the same bug. The history is not refreshed: it actually has a non related link on top. My history list only shows those places I typed, not the links I followed. If you mean the little triangle on the "go back" button, it only has two entries: bug number, and bug processed links. I use firefox. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I use enhanced history manager add-on, and have it always open on the first tab on the left. It only refreshes as i refresh it, or restart the browser... I also use refresh timing on some pages every 15 minutes, but the other ones by hand. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (Now or never...)

Apparently your definition of history is different from mine. I'm referring to the impact on history.dat in your profile directory. Before login, you'll have an entry such as: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330658 After login, that changes to: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330658&GoAheadAndLogIn=1 When I open the SeaMonkey history window, there are two entries with the same page title, one with each of those URLs. In FF, there is no history window, only the history sidebar. When you open that, you cannot tell the two entries apart, even on mouseover. This is one of the many reasons I use SeaMonkey a lot more than I use Firefox, but the problem remains that Novell's Bugzilla bloats history for no apparent reason. -- "Let us not love with words or in talk only.

Maybe you should look for the enhanced history manager. (FF add-on) You can display a whole tab, if you want, with very detailed history....
