How to ask a Question on Dolphin Forum

jedikevin20 · (This post was last modified: 09-10-2009, 04:35 AM by jedikevin20.)

I have been seeing a lot of problems with people needing help. I think we should implement a policy where if you need help with dolphin, a specific game, errors, etc etc... to ALWAYS POST YOUR PC SPECS. We need to stop threads like this:

"xyz isn't working. How do I fix it ......" as the whole thread.

After asking A question, state in the thread or in your sig your PC specs including,

1. Operating System
2. Complete CPU name (Ex. Intel E7400 @ 2.8 ghz not Core2duo @ 2.8ghz)
3. GPU
4. Version of Dolphin used

Also if you having a problem with a game, state options you have chosen in dolphin as a check for those trying to help you.

So true. Whats sad is too many people are not here to help people but to get there answer and go. There to lazy to even search the forum first for the answer. If you try to inform them where to get the answer they tend to get pissed since you are not giving them the easy way out of finding the answer.

I really think Daco, nosound etc etc should tidy up the rules and add some proper netiquette for people to learn how to incoporate there problem in words on the forum. At the very least, place a sticky on each main board on proper ways to state problems and rules of the forum.

Hi jedikevin20,
Thank you suggesting all of us that how we can ask the question in Dolphin. I will definitely improve by reading this topic. I will stick to the rules of the Dolphin.
