[% INCLUDE global/header.html.tmpl title = "Voting" %]
<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] has a "voting" feature. Each product allows users to
have a certain number of votes. (Some products may not allow any, which means
you can't vote on things in those products at all.) With your vote, you
indicate which [% terms.bugs %] you think are the most important and
would like to see fixed. Note that voting is nowhere near as effective
as providing a fix yourself.</p>
<p>Depending on how the administrator has configured the relevant product,
you may be able to vote for the same [% terms.bug %] more than once.
Remember that you have a limited number of votes. When weighted voting
is allowed and a limited number of votes are available to you, you will
have to decide whether you want to distribute your votes among a large
number of [% terms.bugs %] indicating your minimal interest or focus on
a few [% terms.bugs %] indicating your strong support for them.
</p>
<p>To look at votes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Go to the query page. Do a normal query, but enter 1 in the "At least
___ votes" field. This will show you items that match your query that
have at least one vote.</li>
</ul>
<p>To vote for [% terms.abug %]:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bring up the [% terms.bug %] in question.</li>
<li>Click on the "(vote)" link that appears on the right of the "Importance"
fields. (If no such link appears, then voting may not be allowed in
this [% terms.bug %]'s product.)</li>
<li>Indicate how many votes you want to give this [% terms.bug %]. This page
also displays how many votes you've given to other [% terms.bugs %], so you
may rebalance your votes as necessary.</li>
</ul>
<p>You will automatically get email notifying you of any changes that occur
on [% terms.bugs %] you vote for.</p>
<p>You may review your votes at any time by clicking on the "<a href=
"page.cgi?id=voting/user.html">My Votes</a>" link in the page footer.</p>
