+*(Part of the [User Manual](USERMANUAL.md).)*
+
+## Try Troubleshooting first
+
+Most of what people run into is already covered in **[Troubleshooting](TROUBLESHOOTING.md)** — the daemon not connecting, a tablet not being detected, pressure not working in an art app, settings that won't stick.
+
+## Where to ask
+
+Post in the **#help-forum** channel on the [Drawing Tablet Discord](https://discord.gg/Rr2MXeM7Ny), and put **"OTA"** in the title so it reaches the right people.
+
+That's deliberately *not* the OpenTabletDriver forums. Most issues aren't OTD-specific, and starting in the OTA channel gets them to people who know this app — anything that turns out to be a driver problem can be passed on from there.
+
+If you've found a bug or want to request a feature, [open an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/TheSevenPens/OpenTabletArtist/issues) instead.
+
+## What to include
+
+A post with these answered usually gets sorted in one reply:
+
+- **Your OTA version** — on the **Home** page, in parentheses next to *ABOUT*.
+- **Your tablet** — the model as it appears in the tablet switcher, and whether OTA shows it as connected.
+- **What you expected, and what happened instead.** If it's about how the pen feels, say which app you were drawing in.
+- **Whether the daemon is connected** — Home tells you, and **Advanced → Daemon** has the details.
+- **A screenshot**, if anything looks wrong on screen.
