Forum Discussions

Got a problem or a question? Please check the FAQ first, but if you're still stumped, try one of these forums. Note: The new CHDK Forum is the most active of the English forums. Dpreview's forum used to be used most in the past. There you'll find the most extensive (English) history of CHDK's development. An active CHDK thread usually still exists at dpreview (thanks, 'zdravko'!) but the dpreview discussions are rapidly losing favor to the new CHDK Forum.
