How to report with Bugzilla?

Okay, I'm embarrassed. I can't figure out how to report a potential bug with bugzilla.fedora.com. I log in, select the option to enter a new bug, then I'm supposed to get a form. On the Select Classification page, I enter the product Fedora. Then I just get a list of existing bugs. The "New" option doesn't do anything. Thought it may be a browser issue, so reluctantly tried IE, same thing. I can access all kinds of bug reports, but I can't figure out how to enter a new one. Even the Help wiki page says that a form is supposed to come up, but what I'm getting can't really be called a form. I'm sure this is some kind of an intelligence test I'm failing miserably, so help is appreciated. Rich

On the main page, click on "Enter a new bug report" (under Most Common Actions). That will take you to the "Select Classification" page. Click on Fedora. That takes you to the "Enter Bug" page. Click on Fedora again. Now, you should be on the "Enter Bug: Fedora" page. It is probably best to use the guided bug entry page:

You may also use the Guided bug entry page for a easier step by step method
If you click on Guided, you will be taken to the "Enter A Bug" page.

Not exactly what I would call intuitive.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. You're right, it's not intuitive, but now it works.

I attempted to follow those instructions. What appeared to me to be a caption was in fact a clickable option... I wasn't literal enough. Rich

I've had the same trouble every time I've wanted to report a bug. Maybe somebody should report this as a bug in Bugzilla's UI?
