+
+ <p>We value your feedback. In fact, we rely on it to improve <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> and its configuration. However, please note
+ the following hints, so we can provide you with the best support:</p>
+
+ <div class="SECT2">
+ <h2 class="SECT2"><a name="CONTACT-SUPPORT" id="CONTACT-SUPPORT">11.1.
+ Get Support</a></h2>
+
+ <p>For casual users, our <a href=
+ "http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=11118&atid=211118"
+ target="_top">support forum at SourceForge</a> is probably best suited:
+ <a href=
+ "http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=11118&atid=211118"
+ target="_top">http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=11118&atid=211118</a></p>
+
+ <p>All users are of course welcome to discuss their issues on the
+ <a href="http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ijbswa-users"
+ target="_top">users mailing list</a>, where the developers also hang
+ around.</p>
+
+ <p>Please don't sent private support requests to individual Privoxy
+ developers, either use the mailing lists or the support trackers.</p>
+
+ <p>If you have to contact a Privoxy developer directly for other
+ reasons, please send a real mail and do not bother with SourceForge's
+ messaging system. Answers to SourceForge messages are usually bounced
+ by SourceForge's mail server in which case the developer wasted time
+ writing a response you don't get. From your point of view it will look
+ like your message has been completely ignored, so this is frustrating
+ for all parties involved.</p>
+
+ <p>Note that the Privoxy mailing lists are moderated. Posts from
+ unsubscribed addresses have to be accepted manually by a moderator.
+ This may cause a delay of several days and if you use a subject that
+ doesn't clearly mention Privoxy or one of its features, your message
+ may be accidentally discarded as spam.</p>
+
+ <p>If you aren't subscribed, you should therefore spend a few seconds
+ to come up with a proper subject. Additionally you should make it clear
+ that you want to get CC'd. Otherwise some responses will be directed to
+ the mailing list only, and you won't see them.</p>

+
+ <p>Please try to verify that it is a <span class=

+ expected. If unsure, try <a href=
+ "http://config.privoxy.org/toggle?set=disable" target="_top">toggling

+
+ <p>If you are using your own custom configuration, please try the

+ you're having problems with a feature that is disabled by default,
+ please ask around on the mailing list if others can reproduce the
+ problem.</p>
+
+ <p>If you aren't using the latest Privoxy version, the bug may have

+ <li>
+ <p>The exact <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> version you

+ <p>The operating system and versions you run <span class=

+ "APPLICATION">Windows XP SP2</span>), if you are using a Unix
+ flavor, sending the output of <span class="QUOTE">"uname

+ distribution.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>The name, platform, and version of the <span class=

+ "APPLICATION">Internet Explorer v5.5</span> for Mac).</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>The URL where the problem occurred, or some way for us to
+ duplicate the problem (e.g. <tt class=
+ "LITERAL">http://somesite.example.com/?somethingelse=123</tt>).</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Whether your version of <span class=

+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> developers via SourceForge, or if
+ you got your copy somewhere else.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Whether you are using <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>

+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Any other pertinent information to help identify the problem
+ such as config or log file excerpts (yes, you should have log
+ file entries for each action taken). To get a meaningful logfile,
+ please make sure that the <a href=
+ "../user-manual/config.html#LOGFILE" target="_top">logfile

+
+ <p>You don't have to tell us your actual name when filing a problem

+ trackers may not always allow to post without being logged into
+ SourceForge. If that's the case, you are still free to create a login
+ that isn't directly linked to your name, though.</p>
+
+ <p>Please also check the status of your request a few days after
+ submitting it, as we may request additional information. If you use a
+ SF id, you should automatically get a mail when someone responds to
+ your request. Please don't bother to add an email address when using
+ the tracker. If you prefer to communicate through email, just use one
+ of the mailing lists directly.</p>
