* you can easily review configuration of all filters and their exact meaning here https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?pg=pgManageFilters * FogzBugz offers a rich ad-hoc filtering capability, so if you wan't something specific, it's easy to get. * any complex tool will be usually confusing to newcomers; if you've lived in a small town your whole life and go to a metropolis you will be overwhelmed, even though the metropolis is probably more ordered and systematic than the town
Finally, I've added the filter specifically to filter cases in which I am somehow involved — e.g. I was going through random issues and when I couldn't replicate the issue, or it was already resolved, etc. I commented on it and requested confirmation/more info from the original poster, then I wanted to get back to the issues later. Or simply I participated in a resolution of an issue as a second pair of eyes. In any case, I've renamed it to "Cases I am Involved In". Hopefully that will be more self-explanatory.
