How to get the most out of the forum

How to get the most out of the forum

Now that the forum has been running for a while, I thought I should add
some notes to help you get the maximum benefit from the forum. You should also read the
original announcement for details.

My tips

  • Only 20 messages are displayed at a time. You can see other message by using the
    "Newer Messages" and "Older Messages" links at the bottom right of the
    screen.
  • You can collapse the threads so you see only the first message in each thread. Click on
    the "Collapse Threads" links at the top and bottom of the message list.
  • When posting a message, take care with the topic. A topic which outlines the problem in
    a few words will get much better response than one that just says "help!".

Please read Greg Lehey’s tips on messages at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html.  
It is written with the FreeBSD questions mailing list in mind but the concepts and
strategies translate very well to other venues.

If you have any other suggestions, please leave your comments.
