 The vast majority of forum posts to plugin forums are bug reports, and
 most are from people who aren't very familiar with what information is
 required to actually deal with such a report reasonably.

 I had to laugh when I started opening this ticket, because I am presented
 with what I'd love to see on wordpress.org!

 I tweaked it a little to make sense for the situation:

 --------------

 REPORTING BUGS

     Are you using the latest release of the plugin, or the latest
 development/trunk version? If neither, please stop here and update first.

     What steps should be taken to consistently reproduce the problem?

     In case it's relevant to the issue, what is the expected output? What
 did you see instead?

     Does the problem occur even when you deactivate all plugins and use
 the default theme?

     Please provide any additional information that you think we'd find
 useful. (OS and browser for UI defects, server environment for crashes,
 etc.)
