Posting Rules- Posts are to be made in the relevant forum. Threads will be moved if they are posted into the wrong forum and people who repeatedly post in the wrong forum will be warned.
- Use an appropriate, descriptive title. Titles like "Help" or "I'm Stuck" serve little value in a forum. If your problem cannot be ascertained from the title, this may delay responses to your post.
- Refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or short) responses, or comment that adds nothing to the questions and answers. Please use the General Discussion forum for off-topic chat.
- Please wait a reasonable amount of time before bumping posts. If you do need to bump your post, make sure you add more information about your problem - sometimes posts do not get a quick response simply because people do not know just what you are asking.
- Before posting, please use the SEARCH feature. Your question or comment may have already been discussed, answered or resolved.
- Do not use all caps (this is interpreted as YELLING).
- Include as much information as you can when seeking help. This may include logs and command line output. Nobody will be able to help you if you don't give sufficient detail.
