The bitbucket site is needed so the devs can have a single point of reference for bug reports. A forum gets filled with other miscellaneous type posts and things can get lost. The forum’s search, organize, and filter functions are not as useable. Our dev team working on Windows LB is only 2 and they do not spend a lot of time watching the forum. Being able to extract a report from Bitbucket is more efficient.
You are always welcome to report issue here. The mods will due their best to help and report things to the team.
