HOW TO USE AREAS OF THIS BOARD EFFECTIVELY
1. SEARCH FOR YOUR ANSWER
Before posting a question, check if anyone else has already asked the question and had it answered. To do this, click on the "Search" button on the left. Type in a few words from your query into the following box. To get a more useful search, precede important words with a + to require that the word is there.
2. IF YOUR QUESTION HAS NOT BEEN ASKED
If your question has not already been asked, either post a new message in an existing area on the topic you are interested in, or use a "Start New Thread" button to create a new topic area and then post your message in there.
3. IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION ON A TOPIC
If an area has already been started on the subject you are interested in, but the advice there does not help you with your problem, you are welcome to post another message in that area to ask for more information. Do not start a new area (or thread) if there is already an area on the subject of your problem.
