How to ask for help with PHD2

So, you have read the Troubleshooting section of the PHD2 help, and gone through What to do When PHD Guiding isn't Push Here Dummy and you still haven't been able to resolve your guiding problem?

You have couple places to go to ask for help.

The stark-labs-astronomy-software Yahoo! group is a good place to ask about guiding and PHD troubleshooting.
The open-phd-guiding Google group is the best place to report a bug or to make a feature request.

When asking for help with a guiding problem, please include your Guide Log. The guide log can be found in the PHD2 folder of your Documents folder, and is named PHD2_GuideLog_<date>_<time>.txt.

The Files section of the Yahoo! group has a folder Help!!! If you have a problem, put it here!!!!!. You should upload your Guide Log to that folder, and include the name of the file in your post so people will know which file to look at.

When reporting a bug in PHD2 to the Google group, you should upload your Debug Log: PHD2_DebugLog_<date>-<time>.txt in the PHD2 folder in your Documents folder. Also upload your Guide Log if applicable. The Google group does not have a file section, so you should use a file sharing service like Dropbox or Google Drive or similar, and post a link to your files in your message to the group.
