Maybe questions you ask are not specific to Blufin and are better to be asked on upstream project’s forums.

Maybe you are also not explaining enough.

Basic questions to answer when asking for a help.

- What would you like to accomplish?
- What did you actually do (commands executed etc)
- What is the error message?
- What do you expect to get instead?
- A lot of times it makes sense to also write “why” are you doing something, specially if it is unusual.
- Write info about your system (hardware, which spin do you use,…)
- Never assume someone can read your mind. Explain but only to the minimal point required (not too short, but also not long stories).
- If your post has too few info, many will just ignore it and move on to next forum question. Help us, to help you.

Bad example: _“I installed program X and it fails.”_ [Also this one](https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/adding-widgets-to-plasma-crashes-it-every-time/5335) is in from the same category.
