\label{Bookmarks}
LON-CAPA can store bookmarks in the system for you. To save a
bookmark, click \textbf{SBKM} on the resource you would like to
bookmark, and fill in the resulting window as you'd like. Note only
users using the pop-up remote can set bookmarks, since it requires a
pop-up window.
To see stored bookmarks, push \textbf{VBKM} on the remote, and select
the bookmark you'd like to go to.

+++ loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Bugzilla.tex
\label{Bugzilla}
LON-CAPA uses "Bugzilla" (http://www.bugzilla.org/) to report and track bugs
and enhancements. To use Bugzilla, you will need to have an account with
Bugzilla. You can create an account at http://bugs.lon-capa.org and then
select \textbf{Open a New Account}. To report a bug or request an enhancement, do
the following:
\begin{enumerate}
Open the web page http://bugs.lon-capa.org
2. Select enter a new bug report.
3. Select the product (LON-CAPA) on which to enter a bug.
4. At the login screen, enter your email address and password.
5. Click Login.
6. Select the version of LON-CAPA, the LON-CAPA component the bug is in, the platform
your using, and the operating system your using from the pull down menu.
7. Enter a summary in the summary text box.
8. Enter a description in the description text box.
9. Click Commit.
\end{enumerate}
LON-CAPA is open-source software where everyone is free to contribute to the
development. If you think of an enhancement request, or find a bug in the system,
please report it. All reported bugs and enhancement requests posted on Bugzilla
will be examined by the core LON-CAPA team. Having the request in Bugzilla
makes it much easier to keep track of bugs and enhancement requests, making it
less likely such things will get lost or be forgetten as requests not in
Bugzilla frequently are.
Bugzilla also supports conversation about requests, and some workflow and
accountability features. You'll be able to see how the developers respond to
the bug, who is currently responsible for it, and what the developer's intention
is.

\label{Change_Password}

If you can not change your password, please contact your system
administrator to find out how. For instance, at Michigan State
University, most of our users authenticate against our campus-wide

need to change their MSU password. Your system administrator will know
what you need to do.
