Most Common Problems & Their Suggested Solutions

[LZ1 672]

 

Hello!

 

I thought it was time to try and collect some of the wisdom floating around and see if we can't create a single thread for solving some of the most common and annoying repeat-issues. So how about it !

 

I define "common problems" as: if I'm getting a deja-vu every third time I post . Staff will have broken the Matrix by this point.

 

Each problem will have its own headline and then with any number of solution-oriented links appended underneath. For this reason, this grand list isn't final and is meant to be updated continually.

 

Naturally, the higher the link number for a solution, the more obscure the solutions are probably getting.

 

Warning: solutions aren't guaranteed. As with anything technical, trial and error is a core skill
