I have been enjoying utest, although it has been taking up a lot of my time! I have found myself declining more and more test cycles lately.
Test history shows that I now have a silver rating. Longer term, I hope to be able to learn more so I can start testing in some of the other categories
I also have a load of bugs in pending status at the moment, so hopefully they work out well.
Definitely a good source for an extra income.
I did have a bit of a problem the other day though. PM had previously asked in the chat that anyone with a specific bug should raise a bug for their device. TTL thought that one of my bugs was an unusual one and asked me to raise a bug with videos (due to the differences between Firefox & Firefox beta behaviour). I later realised that although the TTL had asked me to raise a bug, there was already another another bug raised (same bug, different browser). Due to the TTL specifically asking me to raise a separate bug, I messaged him in the chat for clarification. As he had previously asked me to raise the bug, I then raised the bug report, but intended to remove it if he messaged back asking me not to raise it. Unfortunately, he didn't reply until the cycle was closed, and in this reply, he changed his previous advice and instead advised me to +1 the report (which I did, and this seemed the most logical course of action), and he obviously no longer wanted the two Firefox comparison videos etc etc.
I am now unable to remove the bug report because the cycle has closed. I have messaged TTL, politely asking him to remove the bug report, but I don't think he can even see my messages to him. I have edited my bug report to simply say "Please remove, this bug is a duplicate.." etc etc, and have removed all the bug details, but am not sure how else to proceed. The bug report is currently pending, and I would rather not have it rejected and for that to count against my rating. At the same time, I don't want to include in the bug report the details regarding my conversation with the TTL as that wouldn't be very professional. Frustrating. Any suggestions?
