Summary

0000546: Typo and Overly General Web Link in the v1.8.0.43 Beta Help Menu

Description

First, it currently says "Bugs Report" - but the "s" is on the wrong word (it should say "Bug Reports"). ;)

Also, the link you are using:

http://www.kcsoftwares.com/bugs.php [^]

doesn't provide SUMo-only information for anyone without preset cookies or a Mantis account. For such users, it will [confusingly] show everything for all products.

If you go back to my original suggestion here:

http://kcsofts.dyndns.org/mantis/view.php?id=526 [^]

I gave links which would only return SUMo-specific information - even if someone doesn't have the preset cookies or an account.

I also think having two separate links, one to the "Change Log" here:

http://kcsofts.dyndns.org/mantis/changelog_page.php?project_id=11 [^]

and one to "Known Issues & Feature Requests" here:

http://kcsofts.dyndns.org/mantis/search.php?project_id=11&sticky_issues=on&sortby=last_updated&dir=DESC&hide_status_id=90 [^]

would be less confusing to novice users and more useful and convenient for everyone.

I also find it potentially confusing to have some links directly in the pull-down help menu and others in the About panel. For consistency reasons, they should probably all be in the same place.

Thanks!
