How to Report Bugs & Crashes

• First and foremost, the correct place to report bugs and issues is the SUPPORT FORUM. The Discussion forum is only for general discussion regarding the mod, it is not the correct place to ask for help.
  
• Secondly, each and every forum has a set of rules that is pinned at the very top. In the Support forum there is the READ BEFORE POSTING Official Bug List. It seems that even though this topic is pinned at the very top, and the title is in all caps to try and make it look important, many people are still not reading it.
  
• If your bug or issue is already on that list, you do not need to report it again.
  
• For game crashes, follow the provided guide for posting. Crash reports should be given through either a pastebin.com link, or use of the spoiler tags. Spoiler tags can be applied by clicking on the Special BBCode button that is to the left of the Font selector.
  
• An extremely important part of that topic is the Template for Reporting. If you have any issue or bug regarding TFC you need to use the template to report it so that we have all of the information that is needed to properly offer support. If you do not use the template, we cannot easily help you. I have copied the template here as well for extra emphasis that you need to use it:
  

Version #:SSP/SMP (Single/MultiPlayer):Suggested Name:Suggested Category: Severe-Annoying-MinorDescription:Have you deleted your config files and are still able to reproduce this bug?: Yes-No*If you answered no to the above question, delete your config files and try to reproduce the bug. This question is here because many bugs are caused by mistakes in config files. All bug reports should have an answer of "Yes" to this question.Do you have any mods other than Forge and TFC installed?: Yes-NoIf yes, which mods?If you have Optifine or Cauldron installed, can you still reproduce the bug after uninstalling them?*Both Optifine and Cauldron edit the base classes of forge that TFC uses. Because of this, we cannot officially support any issues that happen only when these mods are installed.Pastebin.com link of the Crash Report:

I hate that it has gotten to this point, but lately I am really faced with no other choice in order to get the point across and make the TFC staff's life easier when it comes to fixing bugs.

From this point forward, any new topics in the support forum that do not use the template will simply be replied to with a link to this announcement, and the topic will be locked. If you wish to edit your topic to fix it and use the template, you may message me stating so, after which point I will unlock the thread for 48 hours. If after the 48 hours the topic still hasn't been edited to use the template, the post will be deleted.

The only exception to this rule are simple issues such as a question of how a part of the mod works, and not a bug report. Any post that even remotely resembles the reporting of a bug or issue however must use this template. Please note that not all reports are going to use every single field of the template. For example, if your game has not crashed as a result of the bug, you can leave the "Pastebin.com link of the Crash Report:" section of the template blank.

Thanks,
