Where should stacktraces be posted?

[Caydr]

Is there a special place for them?

Here's one I just got:

The stacktrace translator's output is beyond my understanding.

The stacktrace translator's output is beyond my understanding.

Does that stop you from posting it for the people who can understand it? (saves them having to copypasta into a text file and run the translator on that)

[smoth]

caydr, use this:

Make sure to include information on how to reproduce the crash, if possible. If it is not reproducable then the chances of it being fixed are slim anyway.

[Caydr]

I already said the translation is beyond my comprehension, Smoth. Just links to various sections of code, and what I posted *seems* to be enough for the devs to run the translator themselves, so there's no need for me to post the entire like 90kb file from my testing session.

No, I don't think it's reproducable, Tobi. I'll try to take notes of what was happening at the time if I get another crash.

Why not open up a Stacktrace Posting forum?

Why not open up a Stacktrace Posting forum?

We have the mantis bug tracker for that, but don't spam it with unreproducable crashes without even an explanation what happened please.

[Caydr]

Sorry, I just really didn't know where to post this thing. I didn't know if it would contain anything important. Considering how long it's been since Spring has crashed on me, I thought I should post it regardless.
