In defense of yed's irritability...
It's hard to appreciate just how terrible forum threads are for tracking issues until you try using one yourself. The github issue tracker makes remembering, updating, and prioritizing issues
sooo much easier. Any feedback is informative, but that doesn't make developers eager to receive feature requests on postcards or by telephone.
Personally, I also really
like it when someone goes a little out of their way to submit an issue on github, or does some beta testing, or even just posts a bug report that includes a log or screenshot. Upvotes and complimentary posts aren't nearly as encouraging as seeing users put in just a little effort. Maybe that's petty, but Salvager is a labor of love. If you want your developers to keep loving their labor, then it's prudent to cater to their emotional foibles.
Whether you agree with any of this or not, you're just a whole lot more likely to get your bug report or feature request dealt with if you post it on github. I'll try to find some way to make the link more conspicuous.
