If you think you have found a bug in Construct 2 you can report it in this forum BUT- Make sure it is not already a reported bug by searching through the "Bugs" forum
- Make sure it is not a bug in your events, a difference between what you have coded and what you would expect
- Make sure you're using the very latest version of Construct 2 (beta possibly, stable if this is the very latest release available)
- Join a .capx of the issue in the simplest manner possible (no 100+ events capx, no 10 mb capx)
- Make sure to read How to report bugs before posting and providing all the required informations (your configuration, the steps to use to reproduce the bug, any relevant information you can provide)

Blog articles
- How can we content control our arcade by Tom: In this article, Tom turns to the community to explain the issue the arcade is concerned with at the moment: some of the games uploaded their are rather "mature" and Scirra's website is intended for all audience. How should be this situation handled, express your ideas and opinions.
- HTML5 games faster than native? by Ashley: An article to make the point on Construct 2's performances on a new high-end computer with an amazing result. The C2 engine would appear to have better performances than the older Construct-Classic engine and a discussion about those performances.
- IE10 review: still disappointing for HTML5 games by Ashley: In this article, Ashley keeps on discovering windows 8 features and make a comparison in performances for HTML5 games in browsers between IE10 and chrome/firefox. So results are not very much in favor of IE10 which appears as very much outdated compared to its competition, but appears to be the only working system in win 8. Another way for Microsoft to screw the web ?
