What I would like posters new to the forums to understand is that if you want quick answers, take the time before ever posting, to:
a.) read through the various forums for likely titles
b.) read through the threads of various likely titles
c.) do a search, either simple or advanced, of the board using different key words that are representative of your question or concern. Doing so will often present past discussions on the matter
d.) Before ever posting, take the time to perform GOOGLE or ASK (Jeeves).com queries.
Both search engines accept simple questions as well as ordinary word terms. Please learn to use these search engines. They are your link to a wealth of worldly knowledge in the form of encyclopedias, catalogs, ads; and, papers on all sorts of topics.
e.) Please take a few minutes in order to read through the many informational Sticky Posts found at the top of many forums. They are there in order to speed up the dissemination of information by making it readily available, and, to help eliminate adding yet another question to the many already asked and answered time and time, again.
The two things that exasperate many of us who devote a lot of time and effort to responding are:
1.) Duplicate posting
Near the top of the screen is a button that people logging on to the board after an absence click on in order to view all new posts in all forums. It is not necessary to clutter the site with duplicate posts. Pick the one most appropriate forum.
2.) New posters not doing any research.
Take the initial time to learn how to use the site and its search features. Instead of just joining and rushing to post your very important question, please do the rest of the community a favor and look through the Sticky Posts and look for threads in each relevant forum for possible answers to your pressing concern.
