FAQs
The
Documentation.html
file, which is part of the product, contains a lengthy FAQ
section with numbered questions and answers. It is recommended to peruse this
FAQ section as the first source for help.
Help Forums
The development team recommends that you first use the product's forums to search
for the problem encountered, and then start a new forum discussion before opening
a bug report.
Creating a SourceForge Account
Creating a (free) SourceForge user account and using it for posting on forums is
highly recommended. This enables better tracking of questions and answers.
Choosing the Thread Title
It is important to choose the summary title carefully when you start a new forum
thread. Titles like "Help me!", "Help a newbie!", "Problem", or "phpMyAdmin error!"
are difficult to deal with because answers are threaded to this title, and further
reference becomes problematic. Better titles would be "Import with UploadDir",
"User can't but root can login" or "Server not responding".
Reading the Answers
As people will read and almost always answer your question, giving feedback in the
forum about the answers can really help the person who answered, and others who
have the same problem.
