It would help to know which platforms and operating systems are being
currently used by those asking for ideas and help.
For example:
If you're using Netscape Navigator and choose a link on a web page
which causes Navigator to crash everytime you might get 10 responses
saying my Netscape doesn't crash when I choose that link. Although,
those responding didn't realize you're running the Unix version of
Navigator that has a bug with active server pages. (Remember this is
just an example, I am not aware that there is any bug in Navigator and
ASP.)
This is just a suggestion.
How about something simple:
Client: OS/Platform/[Network]/Application
e.g.. Client:
Linux/Intel/Navigator
and if it is a Network issue
Client:
Linux/Intel/Novell/Navigator
Its quite short but clears up many assumptions. Not everybody uses M$.
