How to post a problem with powder toy
Problems?
Say you have a problem. The very first thing you should not do is go running to the forums.
First, check the wiki. see if your problem has been solved or cannot be solved. The wiki is also filled with useful tips on how to avoid other problems.
Should it not be on the wiki, please try to redownload Powder Toy. Redownloading can easily cure any problems that may have been caused by a faulty download. This solution is the most wildly offered solution on the forums as well. Remember this.
Should it not be solved via redownload or the wiki (and Powder Toy cannot run on Mac OS 10.5 and lower!) go to the forums.
Posting a problem
You've got to remember a few things:
- People don't like annoying titles such as
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or
OMG OMG THIS GAMES BROKEN!
Or AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- People do not like it when you cannot describe your problem well
- People do not like poor grammar and spelling mistakes everywhere.
So should you need to post something, the best thing is a short description about what is wrong. I.E.:
Powder Toy crashes?
Use good grammar, and if possible provide screenshots. Please post in the Help forum, and please, oh please do not make a thread entitled:
Help!
With the description of:
Help please
Problems not concerning the game
Should your problem not concern the game but the website, then please post on the forums in General, should it be minor such as the Wolo incident (small mistake in the HTML where the Wiki page became named Wolo. Freaking hilarious.) and Help should it be major, such as the website getting redesigned without an announcement.
