I just saw that Bryce noticed this too: in
http://www2.bryceharrington.org:8080/drupal/me-too-storms-solutions
he said
"in the form of the "This bug doesn't affect me (change)" text
and link on every bug. [...] Another issue is that the link just
isn't that noticeable. I'll leave it to usability experts to
work out how best to improve it, but it definitely needs a
re-think so it's a bit more obvious, especially for casual
launchpad visitors."
And here is an ineresting comment:
"Launchpad should have a mee-too counter first. Currently even
if I use the "This bug affects me too" link, I don't have any
feedback about the amount of people affected in total. So it's
quite useless now. Seeing the "me-too" counter increase will
certainly appeal to many mee-tooers :)"
Can the bugs be sorted by "me too"? Searched for with a treshold? This
is getting offtopic here.
