Rules: Please read before posting

[taltyman]

Please:
1. Search before posting!

2. Use meaningful topics (don't use the Forum name for the topic). Avoid putting "urgent" in your topics.

3. Make an effort to answer your own question before posting. You can use the Manuals Link on the main page to access Reference manuals. People here help voluntarily even though they have their own jobs to do, so be considerate of their time.

4. Post detailed information on what you're trying to accomplish. Do not make people guess what you mean. This will give you a much better chance of getting a good answer to your question.

5. Post your question only once and in only one forum. When you post the same question in multiple forums, you can cause confusion and frustration for the people that are attempting to help you.

6. Feel free to ignore questions you think are silly, vague or do not make sense. Do not feel free to make fun of the poster (we were all beginners once).

7. Provide feedback to members who try to help you. Please do not substitute "Thanks in advance" for feedback.
