GameGrep Bug Reporting Guidelines Version 0.3 [Revision: 13th April 2007] guideline.index _____________________________________________ guideline.overview
The main thing to note when reporting a bug in this forum is to ensure that you provide as much information as possible so that it can be quickly reproduced by an administrator and fixed; detailed recreation steps, as well as information such as what browser you are using and so forth, can assist greatly in the investigation of bugs so it's important you provide all of this initially. Below are some detailed guidelines on the type of content that should be submitted within a bug report to ensure it can be looked into in the fastest time possible. [ Return to Top ] titling.threads
Thread titles such as this are a good example of what we're looking for here: "Unable to Attach a Primary Image to News Article" As you can see, that thread title basically sums the report up in a nutshell, thus giving viewers a general idea of what to expect in the report without having to open it. This is much more helpful than, for instance, using this as a thread title: "an annoying bug! :S" This tells anyone browsing the forum pretty much nothing about what they can expect in the report, which may slow down the investigation and fixing progress as well as causing people additional time having to browse through before having an idea of what's going on.

Below are two examples of correct bug reports. Example Report 1: quoteExample Report 2: quote [ Return to Top ] bug.statuses
This status is initially assigned to bugs that have been logged if they appear to be legitimate reports, but have not yet been confirmed by another member. This means that the bug has not yet been addressed by an administrator, but it has been confirmed as occurring by one or more reliable sources (or seen in action by the moderator reviewing). This status means that the bug has been acknowledged as occurring by an administrator and they have specified a set date or version release as to when it will be fixed. When bugs appear to be fully resolved and fixed, they will receive this status. If you notice bugs still occurring that are flagged as this, a moderator should be contacted and made aware so he/she can reopen the report. If a bug has already been reported in the past and already has a thread created for it, any new threads about the same bug will be redirected to the original. This status is assigned if a member has posted a thread here whereby what they are describing is either no relation to a bug happening on GameGrep, or what they are describing cannot be confirmed as happening server-side, which would most likely mean they have problems within their own computer/browser's configuration. [ Return to Top ] thread.retention
If you notice a bug that has been flagged as 'complete', yet you still believe is occurring in some form, please contact a moderator as soon as possible and make them aware of the situation so the thread can be reopened for further reports. [ Return to Top ] Thanks in advance for your cooperation and heeding these guidelines, which will hopefully ensure that any bugs that crop up and are ironed out as fast as possible! | |
