RE: [Mantisbt-dev] Time patch

[Mitch \(WebCob\) <mi...@we...>]

Hey Philippe...

I just applied the patches... don't see information in the

"Time Elapsed" on the main screen looks good...

but "Time Elapsed Summaries" is blank.

Am I doing something wrong? I closed the bugs with time on them (just in
case that was a factor) still a blank report.

Could it be something to do with date format?

What controls who appears on the top row?

Thanks!
