Add-ons to WHAT? Are you going to tell use what you were doing at the
time the error appeared?

ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone ELSE
to understand your post than just yourself.

Usually you get one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply
from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go
on (no details, no versions, no context), usually they will just move on
to the next post and never return to yours. Go read:

In addition:
- Do NOT describe an error message.
- Do NOT summarize an error message.
- Do NOT paraphrase an error message.
- Do NOT truncate an error message.
- Do show the ENTIRE message (but munge/star out personal info,
like your username).
