Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm wondering the same. Am I right in thinking for developers to update themes which fixes issues raised by the theme reviewer, this opens a new ticket?<br>
<br>
Should tickets be replied to but left open for a while to give developers chance to discuss openly with the reviewer the shortfalls of their theme?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
