The <a href=\"http:\/\/warlight.net\/ReportBug.aspx\">Report Bug page<\/a> will allow you to report any issues you&#8217;re having with WarLight.  This is linked to from the <a href=\"http:\/\/warlight.net\/Contact.aspx\">contact page<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/warlight.net\/Help.aspx\">Help tab<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Filling out this form is preferred over e-mailing me directly, even though this form really just results in an e-mail being sent to me.  Often when someone e-mails me or posts on the Bugs forum they would leave out crucial information, which ends up taking a lot of my time to figure out.  Often I&#8217;ll ask for additional information and I don&#8217;t get a reply, which leads to the bug not getting fixed.  Sometimes so little information is provided that I can&#8217;t even figure out where they&#8217;re playing the game (WarLight.net, Google Hangouts, iPhone or Android).<\/p>\n<p>This form replaces the Bugs forum, so it&#8217;s been removed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Notable forum posts The Dashboard page, instead of showing all forum posts, will now only show forum posts that have been marked as notable by a moderator.
