Welcome to the Forums of the Winstep Board!

We hope you will have a pleasant and peaceful experience using the forums of the Winstep board. In order to facilitate this, please observe and note the following.

All users should please pay particular attention to the Board Rules and Guidelines and make sure they understand them well and then abide by them, especially also in regard to posting.

If you are new here or even if you just have not posted very much or not at all before, you may like to take a little time to get to know the Winstep community and the forums a little, especially forums to which you may want to post. This is particularly important if you are trying to get help with anything in respect of Winstep applications in the 'General Discussion' forum. If this is the case then please note the following :

There are many useful Hints & Tips in the above mentioned Board Rules and Guidelinesto help you make an effective post. Thus, for example, posts about a problem should always include all the information suggested at least and as much detail as possible as forum staff may well not be inclined to have to ask supplementary questions and therefore might ignore your post. Remember, the devil is in the details.

Also, please bear in mind that this is an English language board, and if you feel unable to post in English, then please have the courtesy to post an online machine translation alongside your native language. If staff do not speak your language and in the absence of your having provided a machine translation, they are unlikely to have the time or even inclination to create one themselves to help you.

Finally, you may want to look out for the following advisories in the 'General Discussion' forum posted by staff :

Important! Winstep Email & PM Support
'Beta Software Discussion' Forum is DEFUNCT!
About Moderators
Board Rules & Guidelines Etc. - Important!

These may not always be at or near the top of the first page or even on the first page.

Thank you. :)


We wish you a pleasant and peaceful experience on the Winstep board. :D

Welcome to the Forums of the Winstep Board!

If you are new here or even if you just have not posted very much or not at all before, you best take a little time to get to know the forums a little, especially ones to which you may want to post.

Everybody should also pay particular attention to the Board Rules and Guidelines HERE and make sure you understand them well, and then abide by them, especially also in regard to posting. There are many Hints & Tips there to help you make an effective post, most particularly if you are trying to get help with anything in respect of Winstep applications. Thus, for example, posts about a problem should always include all the information suggested at least and as much detail as possible as forum staff may well not be inclined to have to ask supplementary questions and therefore might ignore your post. Bear in mind there is currently only one active volunteer Global Moderator and one Administrator, all with very limited spare time.

That said, we hope you will have a pleasant and peaceful experience on the Winstep board. :D


N.B. - Please note that Email and PM support is currently suspended until further notice and support queries should be addressed in the "General Discussion" forum only.

Also, the "Beta Software Discussion" forum has been defunct for a number of years. Members therefore should *NOT* request membership of this forum. Any such requests will go unanswered.

Furthermore, please look out for advisories in the "General Discussion" forum posted by staff, such as :
"Board Rules and Guidelines Etc. - Important!"
"Important! Winstep Email & PM Support"
"'Beta Software Discussion' Forum is DEFUNCT!"
"Help Requests, New Members, etc. - Please Note!"

Board Rules & Guidelines Etc. - Important! - Please note that in view of and to take into account ML/LLM (so-called 'AI') such as ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and others, the Board Rules & Guidelines should see further amendments and revisions shortly which seem essential. Therefore, in their own best interests members are asked please to re-read said Board Rules & Guidelines from time to time, as violations can have serious consequences and may result in a ban. Thank you.
