How to file a Bug Report

I recently sent Disney an email letting them know that the Bug Report function was not working. They replied back saying that they were not aware of any problems, and that maybe I did not know what I was doing, or I was submitting it incorrectly... (I have been playing since beta days, and yes, I do know how to send one, and yes correctly ;))
She did however, give me very detailed instructions, and I thought I would share them here :piratemickey:

PC players (Windows 32-bit):

1. On the Report A Bug web page, click on the first Browse button.

2. Copy this string based off your operating system type, and paste it in the File Name box:

\Program Files\Disney\Disney Online\PiratesOnline

3. Click the Open button; this will bring you to the PiratesOnline folder.

4. Click Date Modified at the top of the file list to sort by date.

5. Look for the most recent Launcher log file, based on its date:

launcher-yymmdd_hhmmss.log (yymmdd_hhmmss = year, month, day, hour, minute, seconds)

Please note: You may not see the .log extension if show file extensions are turned off in the Folder Options. If so, find the file icon that looks like a notepad.

6. Click on the file and then click the Open button; this attaches the first file to your Bug Report.

7. On the Report A Bug web page, click on the second Browse button, and repeat steps 2, 3, and 4.

8. Look for the most recent Pirates log file, based on its date:

pirates-yymmdd_hhmmss.log (yymmdd_hhmmss = year, month, day, hour, minute, seconds)

9. Click on the file and then click the Open button; this attaches this second file to your Bug Report.

I have found a much easier way to do this... it will automatically put in your latest game log file and installer log file.

1. Go to your Pirates Online file:
Windows (64-bit)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Disney\Disney Online\PiratesOnline
Windows )32-bit)
C:\Program Files\Disney\Disney Online\Pirates Online

2. Scroll down until you find "bugreport"

3. Open it and fill in the description, email, account name, and add any screenshots you might want them to see.

4. Click submit and your done!
 
I know that you can just open that file with Internet Explorer or something they do support, Chrome is my default browser so that's why it is a Google Chrome file.
This is a direct quote from Disney:
