Technical Issues in FPC

[Cylon Muffins]

There's always a bunch of comments under every video about people having issues... could these get moved to a "Technical Issues" (or equivalent) thread?

Also maybe mods could push people towards using issues google form rather than the comments section?

I thought that's what troubleshooting was for

some people need other people to google some peoples problem.

The point is FPC comments section is cluttered with "I can't DL in IE on windows 95!!" which is irrelevant to the content, imo those comments should be deleted as the form is clearly marked at the top of the page, but a more reasonable approach would be to move elsewhere and encourage people to use the reporting form instead of comments on the video.

@colonel_mortis I haven't subscribed to the floatplane club yet but I'll be damn sure not to unless this is fixed

Seems like very minor reason not to subscribe.

So you're not going to subscribe to floatplane because people are posting bugs under the videos rather than in the places set up to deal with them (which do exist and are very clearly advertised)?

I'm waiting for a polished product. Is that too much to ask?

That isn't what this topic is about. This topic is about people reporting bugs (almost all related to frequent buffering, which only affect some users and which we are looking into) in the topics rather than in the relevant channels, though from what I can see only a small minority of users are reporting issues there anyway (and we aren't getting very many reports through the correct channels either).
