 Beneath the community tabs, near the top of each page, is a search box. You can use it to find posts that report problems similar to yours. You may find a solution or other useful information related to your problem is already available. If someone has reported the same problem before, then upvote and comment on that report, rather than create a new problem report. To comment, vote, or report a new problem, you may be asked to sign in to your Visual Studio account. The first time you sign in, you'll have to agree to give the Developer Community app access to your profile.

If you search for your problem, and it hasn't been reported before, choose the **Report a problem** button next to the search box. You can include your repro code and command line, screenshots, links to related discussions, and any other information you think is relevant and useful.

 > [!TIP]
 > For other kinds of problems you might find in Visual Studio that are unrelated to the C++ toolset (For example, UI issues, broken IDE functionality, or general crashes), use the **Report a Problem** tool in the IDE. This is the best choice, due to its screenshot capabilities and its ability to record UI actions that lead to the problem you've found. These kinds of errors can also be looked up on the [Developer Community](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/) site. For more information, see [How to report a problem with Visual Studio](/visualstudio/ide/how-to-report-a-problem-with-visual-studio-2017).

 1. Consider other opportunities for modernizing the code. For example, replace custom data structures and algorithms with ones from the C++ standard library, or the Boost open-source library. By using standard features, you make it easier for others to maintain the code. You can be confident that this code has been well-tested and reviewed by many experts on the standards committee and the broader C++ community.
