This Forum was created by the developers, and is hosted by the developers, for the Community to use to help each other use Notepad++ and to talk about and advocate for the application.
We just don’t have the power/authority in the forum to agree to make changes to the source code, and the forum is not the location for feature requests and bug reports. As a result, we have a FAQ entry which explains the correct procedure for making feature requests and bug reports, which can be found in the FAQ section under the name FAQ Desk: Feature Request or Bug Report
