    Description

      The most obvious way to enter the Qt bugtracking system is a dead end.

      If someone goes to the Qt forum, General and Desktop category, to report a bug, as I did (before I knew there was a separate bugtracker), they will likely click on the green "Start New Discussion" button, then if they're careful, as I was, they'll see the sentence "The bugtracker is the right place for reporting bugs in Qt" so they'll click on the word bugtracker, but that link leads to http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/, which merely displays "It works! This is the default web page for this server. The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet." Oops - dead end! (When I saw this I concluded that there was no separate bugtracker, that the forum was it.)

      If that link instead pointed to https://bugreports.qt-project.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa (as I learned a few days later) that would be a lot more helpful.
