Request Regarding Posting of Issues with GameEx

[Draco1962]

All - I see quite a few issues that have been reported with GameEx, either as an issue as a result of GameEx updates, emulator setup questions, etc. with no indication from the user that the issue has been resolved or is still ongoing. In order to make things easier for the moderators and admins in performing daily housekeeping and focusing on urgent issues, please try to adhere to the following as much as is possible:

1. If you have an issue following an update, please start a new thread and do not respond in the NEWS thread announcing the update. If the issue you are experiencing appears that it may be a result of a recent update, indicate the GameEx version in the Topic Title along with the issue encountered.

2. If your issue has been resolved (with assistance of a mod or admin or you just figured it out for yourself), you can edit the topic title if you are the creator and note [RESOLVED] at the beginning of the title. If you are uncertain how to do this, we can do it for you. Also, if you figured it out for yourself, a brief summary of how you did so is also appreciated (may help the next person that comes behind you or may even identify a bug if the solution is something that can be fixed with a future update).

3. If you have a Feature Request, please post it in the appropriate thread under the Pinned and Hot Topics forum!

4. If the issue or information you are sharing is not directly related to GameEx functionality, please utilize the Social Club forum.

Following these recommendations will help to ensure that reported issues do not get forgotten and can be addressed as promptly as possible.,

Thanks!

I was going to add this to my 'How to Ask For Help Topic, but I received the dreaded 'You must enter a post error'. If someone with greater powers than I would edit the post for me, it might be helpful to others. I wanted to change the top of the post to look like this:

Welcome to the GameEx forums!

If you were sent to this page, you are probably fairly new to GameEx, and have asked for help. Please do not be insulted that we referred you to this page, we are happy to help in any way that we can, but we need you to know a few things first, to help us serve you better.

If you need to know where to get roms, don't ask, we won't help you.

A few guidelines that will make our job easier:

1. If you have an issue following an update, please start a new thread and do not respond in the NEWS thread announcing the update. If the issue you are experiencing appears that it may be a result of a recent update, indicate the GameEx version in the Topic Title along with the issue encountered.

2. If your issue has been resolved (with assistance of a mod or admin or you just figured it out for yourself), you can edit the topic title if you are the creator and note [RESOLVED] at the beginning of the title. If you are uncertain how to do this, we can do it for you. Also, if you figured it out for yourself a brief summary of how you did so is also appreciated. By doing so, you may be helping the next person that comes behind you, or maybe even identify a bug if the solution is something that can be fixed with a future update.

3. If you have a Feature Request, please post it in the appropriate thread under the Pinned and Hot Topics forum!

4. If the issue or information you are sharing is not directly related to GameEx functionality, please utilize the Social Club forum.

Help us help you:

The first thing we will need to know, is do you have your program (emulator) working outside of GameEx. By this I mean that you can open the emulator in Windows, and it will run a game. If not, we will still try to help, but please take a few minutes to look around on the emulators homepage to see if they have a FAQ (Frequently Asked Question) section, or other information to help you.
