Tips and Best Practices for using the Forums

Your question might already be answered. Dig deep with the above search tips and post new questions on a better informed level.

If you have multiple questions/feedback, use/start separate threads for each topic. Ideas in small doses are more digestible than one wall of text. Refrain from starting post-your-question, my-wishlist, chat (use [POST=5697]our IRC channel[/POST] for this) or any other all-purpose threads.

Discussions often spawn spin-offs – not the occasional joke or personal remark, which just adds to the flair of our community. We mods might decide to move any longer off-topic discussion into another/new thread. If you are about to start it, then consider to look for a better suited thread or start a new one. Give us a hint, if it has already happened.
