Bug reporting help & guidelines - Read before reporting bugs

Welcome to the Wagic "Bugs" Forum!
If you find any bugs in the most recent Wagic release, please report them in this forum. We can then analyze and (hopefully) fix them.
However, before you write a bug report, there are a couple of things you can do, to check whether the behavior you see is really a bug, whether it's already known or even fixed, and whether you're reporting it at the right place. You don't have to check all these possibilities - but please be aware that if you don't do it, someone else has to. And the more time you spend for making sure that your bug report is as good as possible, the faster we can fix the issue, because then we won't need to spend time to check all these other things before.
So, here's what you can do to make your bug report as useful possible:
Index:
- 1. Is it really a bug?
- - 1.1 Missed effects
- - 1.2 Misunderstood rules
- - 1.3 Misleading card texts
- 2. Is the bug already known or fixed?
- 3. Am I reporting the bug at the right place?
- - 3.1 Official vs. user-created content
- - 3.2 Release vs. SVN version of Wagic
- 4. Which info do we need in a bug report?
- - 4.1 Good bug description
- - 4.2 The test suite
- 5. Link list
