Before reporting an issue with the site/didn't receive validation email


Recommended Posts

At Neowin we strive to make your stay here as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, this is why we have a dedicated developer team, but do not expect support from us under the following scenarios;

Common unsupported scenarios:

  • You are using an Alpha or Beta web browser (we only support stable final releases as a rule).
  • You are using a custom style-sheet (CSS) & have modified the site to your own liking.
  • You are blocking Javascript with a browser extension like NoScript.
  • You are using an ad-blocker, some features are intentionally broke or disabled with ad-blocking in place.
  • You have not done a hard refresh of the site after major/minor changes (CTRL + F5 on most browsers).
  • Other frequently asked questions;
  • How do I change my display name?
  • How can I filter off topic posts on Neowin?

The answer to that and many more questions like it is simple. Explore your "My Settings" panel here: http://www.neowin.ne...e&module=usercp

I changed my email address and didn't get a validation mail!

  • Look for @neowin.net email in your spam/junk folder

And finally...

Use the Search, it's likely that an issue you are posting about has already been posted!

Hopefully that helps weed out some un-needed bug reports. How about stating specifically what should be posted in Bug Tracker vs SFI? I know I tend to post any bugs I find in Bug Tracker and often times it is reposted in SFI by someone else.

To me, we should report all issues in the SFI forum. If they are then investigated and found to be bugs then they get moved into Bug Tracker so we can follow their progress.

That's the way i would do things, don't know if that's what neowin thinks? If it's not, then how should we do it?

I thought they should be posted in the Bug Tracker, then once they are confirmed they get moved to "Confirmed (Open)."

If that's the case, I would suggest locking the Bug Tracker forum like its subforums so normal users cannot start new topics in them.

Also, on the top of the Bug Tracker forum, this is the description:

  Quote

This forum allows members to log bugs and issues we have missed while coding Neowin. If we can reproduce your submitted bug it will be submitted by staff to Confirmed (Open) forum.

This means the bug is being worked on, no further assistance is required!

Please try to be thorough when submitting bugs as staff will need to reproduce the problem. Some topics may be moved to Feedback Needed members will receive a automated PM if the topic is moved there. Members will also receive an automated PM response when a bug is assigned Fixed (Closed) status.

Some bugs may not be dealt with if it's an Invision Board issue, these can be submitted to Invision Power Services directly either by staff or yourself.

What 'features' are broke/disabled?

perhaps you should add for people to search for already created topics, I even find myself guilty of not doing that every once in a while.

Nothing, now.. Minispy used to be disabled, but AdBlock Plus team fixed that lol.

But basically, the web site might now work as expected with an adblocker, and especially NoScript!

    • Been happy with Windows 11 myself even since first release in 2021, sure it hasn't always been perfect, but nothing is per say.. Issues i did have was minor ones, which is normal with any OS really. I still use Windows 10 at times on my unsupported Gaming Laptop, and i find myself using the Windows 11 Desktop more. Eventually replacing Gaming Laptop with a Windows 11 Compatible one somehow, someway this year or possibly next year at the latest, but its gonna happen--(May save all my Bing reward points except the 1000 to have extended support for 10) then work on getting quality Replacement hard)
    • Geez, this is dumb. I use my laptop sometimes in the dark when doing astrophotography to control my astro-PC... this explains why I have to keep entering my PIN when logging back in. So stupid. I can't see the keyboard in the dark, and I can't have lights everywhere to light it up because everything is very light sensitive (including my eyes!).
    • Naturally. I don't care about brand loyalty at all as it's all about price/performance/reliability etc (even what RejZoR said below is a great point to). basically bang-for-the-buck. because at the end of the day... one wants the cheapest possible price to maintain a certain minimum level of performance (or thereabouts). because generally after a certain point with CPU and GPU's the price starts to sky rocket without that much difference in performance where it really matters. p.s. historically I have bought more Intel CPU's and NVIDIA GPU's but I have had some AMD CPU's and one AMD GPU.
    • Both of these companies as well as Qualcomm and Apple need competition. Otherwise, they just coast. I don't prefer macOS, though I like some of Apple's hardware, but if anyone needs competition, it is Apple. Their prices are already outrageous and they need to have a reason to produce good hardware and at least keep prices remotely reasonable. (It is criminal what they charge for RAM upgrades especially.) Qualcomm needs to push AMD and Intel not to be so sloppy with the performance/efficiency aspect. Granted, AMD has been doing quite well in this respect considering they are not an ARM architecture. I personally want to have more options that truly compete with Macbook Air and Macbook Pro's on the Windows side. It is difficult to achieve what Apple does since they control the entire stack and that is fundamentally different for Windows PCs other than maybe Microsoft Surface PCs.
