How to Submit a Bug Report

Submit the following:

  1. What browser were you using (safari, internet explorer, foxfire, mozilla, etc. what version if you know.)
  2. What url were you visiting (as in, if you were on the community support homepage, you would report http://hotsmack.com/community/)
  3. were you logged in? if so, what is your username?
  4. If an onscreen error message displayed, copy and paste in the full error message.
  5. Describe what you were doing and what happened that was screwy.
  6. Give the bug report a very brief title, like “won’t save to file repository” or “broken link” or “can’t save description on support group page”.
