Re: Guest view priviledges?

[Frank Cohen]

Thank you so much for the reply. I was beginning to wonder. :-)

It's too bad that you have to actually go through the sign-in page for 
guest view. I would ideally like to give my users a URL that simply 
displays the list of open bugs without requiring them to go through the 
sign-in page first.

I'll look through the google results to see what I can find.

Thanks!
