Crashes and Problems (Previously Pinned Topics)
  Purpose of this Topic As part of the ongoing renovation of Simtropolis we are working to reduce the clutter of pinned topics. When there are too many of them they often times get overlooked. We have decided to improve this with a dual purpose pinned thread. Not only does this make it an All In One reference it also links to the original topics. Here's how it works: The first post of each of those previously pinned topics will be included in this one under the name of the original authors. This allows reputation points to go to the appropriate person while keeping all the relevant posts together in one place. The topics themselves will be unpinned, but you can still reply to them and that will bump them to the top of the forum list. There are two clickable links below for each entry. The first takes you to the full topic and the second is a Local Link to the first post of the full topic which is in this thread. We feel this will be advantageous because you can scroll thru all of them in one place here (and it tidies up the forum list). Tip: Use Ctrl+F to search for key words.   Crash to Desktop? Look here first. Local Link Before you post a question about a bug or crashing issue, please read this!

We have found when replies are enabled for this type of thread they tend to go off topic quickly so it works better if you reply in the linked threads or create a separate new thread where ideas and questions can be explored in the proper context. Note: When this post was created the local links go to the posts in the order you find them in this thread. However, as additional noteworthy topics are added they will be placed in the appropriate place in the above list by category, but the copy of the first post of said noteworthy topic will be appended to this list. (The board software does not allow us to sort the post order.) Disclaimer: One difference you will notice in these copies of the posts is that all link previews have been converted to normal, clickable links. This was done because having a couple dozen preview style links were really borking page load time. I do hope the original authors will understand the need for this editing.
