or ANYTHING like the above!!!

3. Help us help you. When you post, post as much information as you can.
Setup
Versions of software
Specific problem
Be as detailed as possible
4. Posting a topic 3 or 4 or 5 times will not get you a quicker response...it will more than likely get No response.
5. Please try to only start New topics as necessary. If a similar topic exists, please post in it. It will move that topic to the top of the list and your post will be seen. It also is a good idea since there may be a few users subscribed to that posts notification.
6. Post your topic in the respective forum.
i.e. Requests go in the Requests forum, Off topic stuff goes in the Off topic forum.
Neglecting to do so will get your topic moved or even removed!

We try to help as much as we can. Time is not free and any help we give is purely voluntary. Back to top
What language can I post in? The main language that is used on the site is English, and we would like to keep it that way. Also we have a French chit chat Forum but that can't be used too often because only one member speaks that language. So please stick with English, how hard it sometimes can be. Back to top
How to request or submit a bug report? Requests: Give the name of the mod Give the link to the original mod (where we can download it). Give a short description of the use of the mod
Bugs: Post the line that gives you an error message. Make sure you have put debug on. Place a link to your site (pref where you got the error). Back to top
