Support Questions Archive
UPDATE: I'm turning this into a community effort. As you may have noticed, I removed quite a few of the links that were on this page. When I first created this thread, I just started with the last page of the support forum and began adding the topics. It turns out that this was not the most efficient method.

Okay. So how do I help?
1. If you happen to come across a topic that you feel is a common problem that can benefit others, post a reply with a link so that I can check it out.

• The question should be clearly stated in the first thread. If possible, it should be the only question.
• The question should be answered in a detailed manner that can be understood by those new to rmxp.

2. If you come across a topic that is already listed in this post but has a more detailed answer, post it and then I can replace the old one.
3. If you see a topic that has an * in front of the title, this topic has already been added to this thread.
4. Lastly, please report any broken links.

The purpose of this thread is to group similar questions together for easier navigation. Please check here before posting your question. It may have already been answered. This is a work in progress, and will remain so as long as rmxp.org is up and running.
