 <h2>Before Filing a Bug Report</h2>
 <p>If something doesn’t work as expected, or you think you have the idea of the century, please don’t start firing up bug reports galore. Chances are that someone has already had the same problem, perhaps even the same great idea. Five steps are recommended to ensure your report won’t be closed as “Duplicate” or “No change required”.</p>
