REPORTING A BUG

Provide detailed and useful information when reporting!
The purpose of reporting a bug is so that later on a Developer will have enough information to reproduce the problem and resolve it. Reports made that do not provide useful information and are vague with no detail will be deleted.

Be descriptive in your title
Don't just put "Bug" in your title. For example, if something like Cinemas isn't poping up, put "Gaia Cinemas isn't popping up Bug."

Quick Format for posting bug reports:

Suppose to Result:


Act result:



Here's an example of how to write a bug:


Computer Specs:
Windows Vista Home Edition
Internet Explorer 7.0.6000.16609
Flash 9.0.115.0

Location:
Slots (Upper right hand corner of game)

Bug:
Playing winnings button does not work when you have over 10 winnings awarded

Reproduction:
1) Go to www.gaiaonline.com/
2) Log in as a user: user name and password
3) Go to the web page www.gaiaonline.com/games
4) Click on Slots
5) Pick any available room
6) Click on the Join button
7) Click on the Play Token button
cool Click on the Spin button
9) Repeat steps 7-8 until you have at least 10 winnings awarded

*Current winnings will display the number 10, right below Tickets and Tokens on the left center side

10) Click on the Play Winnings button

Result:
The button will not work. The current winnings do not decrement (decrease). The spin button does not work since no winnings or tokens are used.

Notes:
Any useful information goes here, such as how often this occurred.

If you notice for the above bug, it is very detailed and concise. If you were to go through the reproduction steps, you should be able to reproduce the bug, or if it is uncommon, occasionally reproduce the bug. smile


How NOT to write a bug:
Example1:

Computer Specs:
Windows

Location:
Slots


Location:
I don't remember

Bug:
The slots machine didn't work.

Reproduction:
Play slots by putting in tokens.

Result:
The slots machine didn't work.

Notice how everything is vague? If you were to try to go through the steps again, you would not have a clue where to start. Try to be as detailed as you can by giving any information such as: computer information and what you were doing before, if you used any power ups, etc. This way we can narrow down the possibilities.
OS: Windows Vista.
Browser: Firefox.
Version: 10.0.2

Bug Description: After removing members from my guild for inactivity, my total members changed to 4294967050, despite that I only have 40 members in my guild.
The issue with this, is I can no longer send guild announcements, because I have insufficient funds. It's counting the phantom over 4 billion members, which obviously the guild account does not have enough gold for.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Log onto www.gaiaonline.com
2. Go to http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds-home/d-gray-man-black-order/g.85007/
3. Go to Member List at http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/memberlist/id.85007
4. Remove a member from the list, check the box marked "Removing user due to inactivity in guild."
5. Click submit.
6. It now registers that I have 4294967050 members.


I don't know if the developers already were working on it, or if the glitch worked itself out, or if they fixed it really quickly, but it's been fixed! c: Thank you!!

Computer Specs:
Browser: Google Chrome
Operating system: Windows 7

Location: My Gaia - Dressing Room

Bug: Avatar doesn't display or save.

Reproduction:
1. Go to www.Gaiaonline.com/
2. Log in as a user: username and password
3. Click on avatar on top of page (or My Gaia -> Avatar) to get to dressing room
4. Make any changes
5. Click 'Save' button

Supose to Result: New changes are saved to current avatar.

Result: The following message appears:
"
Save failed, please try again.
Reason: The item was not found in your inventory.
If the problem persists, click on “Get Nekkid”, save your avatar, and try again.
"

Note: If "Get Nekkid" is clicked and I try and save the same message pops up.

Note: I think that everything is working except the 'save' button because as soon as I make any changes (both (un/)equipping items and changing poses, mouth expression, etc.) the 'save' button lights up and when I click 'reset' it dims again. I just can't see these changes occurring because the avatar doesn't display (Please note, displaying an item on my avatar in shops or the marketplace still works fine.).

Note: I am reasonably sure that this is a problem with the account not the computer. I have tried logging into my account on other people's laptops (running various different browsers and operating systems) and I got the same result. I have also got one of my friends to log in on their account on my laptop and their dressing room worked fine.

Hi,

I'm not able to reproduce, I have passed this along to our devs.

Thanks

Beloved Friend

Why the sponsors (V11 Videos and Matomy) are bilking the gaia users?

They don't pay the GaiaCash since friday 02/24, and don't reply the messages...

On the Matomy case, they lie showing this message for all watched videos:

"Watch this amazing video
Status: VIEWED
Amount: 85 Gcash per $1 spent
Offer ID: ********** Viewed: Feb 26, 2012 03:26:02"

I watched only the videos that pay 1, 2 and 3 Gaia Cash only.

Browser: Mozilla Firefox 10.0.2
Operation system:Windows XP

I have the snapshot to prove.
OS: Windows 7
Browser: Google Chrome
Version: 17.0.963.56 m


Location: My Gaia - Dressing Room

Bug: Avatar Does Not Save and Items have disappeared and other items have duplicated icons
(Note: Even though I now have two Eternal Emperors where I used to have one they both operate as one item and can only be equipped with one pose at a time. By clicking the other eternal emperor I negate the pose of the first no matter what pose it was in.)

Reproduction:
1. Go to www.Gaiaonline.com/
2. Log in as a user: username and password
3. Click on avatar on top of page (or My Gaia -> Avatar) to get to dressing room
4. Make any changes
5. Click 'Save' button

Supose to Result: New changes are saved to current avatar.

Result: The following message appears:

"Save failed, please try again.
Reason: The item was not found in your inventory.
If the problem persists, click on “Get Nekkid”, save your avatar, and try again.

Note: After repeatedly trying to save the item by doing what the message instructed I eventually lost my 2nd Generation Zodiacal, One of two my Juno's Laces, My Black Audrey Gloves, and my Serecila Pendant.

I now have 4 Egyptian Gold Bracelets, Two Audreys Black Ankle Strap Heels, 2 Golden Dragons and 2 Eternal Emperors. Each of the duplicated items seem to have multiplied by two.

I have tried everything requested above and I even attempted using a new computer and brower to correct the problem I have found no success.
