2015-04-17 06:06:15 -06:00
**Must read:** [How to Report Bugs Effectively](http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html).
### Before you submit
2015-04-08 18:56:41 -06:00
1. Submit **bugs/issues only**.
2015-04-08 18:57:37 -06:00
- Bugs occur, I will fix them.
2015-04-08 19:07:35 -06:00
1. Do **NOT**:
- Submit design ideas.
- Submit feature requests.
- Submit "revolutionary ideas".
2015-04-08 19:09:45 -06:00
- Use issues as replacement for threads on a bulletin board.
2015-04-08 18:56:41 -06:00
- Any such issue will be closed without comment.
1. Make sure your issue [hasn't already been fixed in a recent release](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases).
1. Verify that the issue does **not** occur with uBlock disabled.
- If it still occurs with uBlock disabled, it's probably not an issue with uBlock.
1. Verify that the issue is not related to a 3rd-party filter lists.
- If it is the case, report to the list maintainer(s).
- It helps to also test with Adblock Plus, with **same** filter lists.
- If issue also occurs with ABP, it's most likely a filter list issue.
1. Any issue opened with no effort to provide the required details will be closed without comment.

### What to include
2015-04-08 18:56:41 -06:00
To help diagnose and fix the bug/issue, please always, **always**, **ALWAYS** include the following in your report:
* A clear list of steps to reproduce the problem
2015-04-08 18:56:41 -06:00
* **Always include a URL**, _even_ if "it happens everywhere". Just do it.
* Symptoms of the issue
* Describe what you observe and consider broken behavior; this is what we'll be looking for after executing the steps
* Example: video doesn't start playing, page layout broken
* A screenshot of **any** of uBlock's preferences that differ from the defaults
* This includes a whitelisted website, enabled/disabled filter list, anything
* Please do include everything different from the defaults whether or not it seems relevant to your issue
* The version of uBlock you're having the issue with; you can find this in [uBlock's popup UI](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Quick-guide:-popup-user-interface)
* Example: `uBlock 0.9.0.0`
* The browser you're using and its version
2015-04-08 18:56:41 -06:00
* Examples: `Firefox 36`, `Chrome 41.0.2272`
* The OS you're using and its version
2015-04-08 18:56:41 -06:00
* Examples: `Windows 8.1`, `Linux Mint 17.1`
* A list of other extensions you have installed
* Tip: try disabling them and see if your issue still occurs
2015-04-08 18:56:41 -06:00
Otherwise, we've noticed that a lot of **your** time (and the developers') gets thrown away on exchanging back and forth to get this information.
