+== How to get help ==
+Note that support for non-paying customers is done on a best-effort basis. Note further that as the reporter of a problem, it's your responsibility to provide accurate information. Below are key pieces of data you should provide when requesting help from a [http://www.215389.xyz/wiki/Mailing_lists mailing list] or when reporting a bug in the [http://www.215389.xyz/wiki/Bugtracker public bug tracker].
+
+'''Environment:'''
+ * Version of !VirtualBox installed (e.g. 3.1.2)
+ * Type and version of the Host Operating System (e.g. openSUSE 11.2, Windows XP SP3, etc.)
+ * Type and version of the Guest OS
+
+'''Problem:'''
+ * What are you trying to accomplish
+ * What did you expect and what was the result?
+
+'''Attempted Resolutions:'''
+ * Have you searched the User Manual?
+ * What have you attempted and what was the result of each attempt?
+
+Do '''not''' post VBox.log files to a mailing list -- better open a bug report ([http://www.215389.xyz/search?link&q=&ticket=on search] for existing bugs before!) and attach the VBox.log file there.
