The more we know up front, the sooner we can fix it. You don't need technical language. Just tell us what you see.
Include these five things
- What's wrong. "The contact form shows an error when I press Send", not "the website is broken".
- Where. The web address (URL) of the page, or the system you were using (for example Microsoft 365).
- Since when. When did you first notice it? Did anything change around that time (a new password, a DNS change, a new plugin)?
- Who is affected. Just you, your whole team, or your customers?
- What you've already tried. Restarting, another browser, another device, clearing the cache.
Add a screenshot
A screenshot of the error message or the screen you're looking at is often worth more than a paragraph.
- Windows: press Windows + Shift + S.
- Mac: press Cmd + Shift + 4.
- Phone: press the power and volume-up buttons together (on most phones).
Never send passwords
Don't put passwords in a ticket or an email. If we need access to something, we'll tell you how to share it safely.
Example
Subject: Contact form not sending since Monday
On https://www.example.nl/contact, pressing Send shows "Something went wrong". It started on Monday morning. Customers have told us too. I tried Chrome and Safari on two computers. Screenshot attached.
