Before reporting a bug...

Confirm that this is a bug. The best way to do this is to review the appropriate section of the User Guide, check your preferences, and look for typos.

Perform a bug search to see if its already been reported and/or check the list of recently reported bugs.

If you think this is a bug, please confirm it by post in the Bug Reports Forum. This lets us and the community verify the bug before making an official report.

NOTE: Make sure you are running the latest version (and build) of ExpressionEngine.

Posting a bug report the right way:

Tell us what you expected to happen that didn’t. For example, “I thought doing this task would produce this result.”

Then explain what actually happened. “But instead, something else happened.”

Be sure to include any error messages.

If possible provide a url where the bug can be reviewed.

NOTE: Include the version of EE you’re running, the type of server (Linux, Windows, etc...), and any 3rd party scripts being used on your account (like phpBB for example).
