General Posting Guidelines

We find this necessary because many people come in and post without thinking, not realizing that there is no way for them to get help because of the way they post their questions. Here are some general guidelines.

1. Please use SEARCH first! Search_directory

There’s a pretty good chance that unless you have some really weird or unique problem that has been solved on our forum before, first use the forum search feature to see if there are already some good threads on the subject. It’s easy to find – just click the “Search” button at the top right of the page.

2. Be DESCRIBING and don’t use “stupid” topic names

PLEASE post descriptive topic names! Give a short summary of your problem IN THE SUBJECT. (Don’t use attention-grabbing subjects, as they may not attract attention and just annoy people). For example: Help, Hello, It’s urgent, I have a question.

3. Remember that when people help you, they are supporting YOU…

Be patient, help people by posting a good description of what you need help with and don’t be judgmental like “if you’re not going to help, don’t waste my time answering”.
