Hello Dan,

Thanks for the response and the tip.

In GitLab are two places for reporting new issue:

1) Button with label "New issue in Bacula Community" - This button is 
visible if we do not choose any project in GitLab. Clicking this causes 
404 error.

2) Button with label "New issue" - This button should be visible after 
selecting the project on the issue list page at the top. I meant this 
button, that it is missing.

In my opinion, yes. GitLab is a tool for the Bacula developers and 
users. Normally these problems could be reported by opening a new issue 
but in this case this is not possible.

Yes, good point.


I am worrying if these our e-mails in this topic will be delivered to 
this list, because the bacula-devel list web page shows that no message 
was delivered today to the list:

https://sourceforge.net/p/bacula/mailman/bacula-devel/

I sent today two different e-mails to this list and they were not 
displayed on the bacula-devel webpage either.
