As a new member, we don't expect you to know how everything works on the forum, however we do expect you to try and follow our rules written in this thread. If you have a problem, please contact an admin and we'll try to help you as soon as we can.
How to contact an admin or any other member of this forum:
Find the person you wish to contact and click on their user-name. Once you are at the person's profil, click where it says "Send Personal Message". Now a box and tools should show up and you are ready to write your message.
Language:
Keep your tone polite at any time, some might be offended otherwise. Try to respect others before replying them. If you don't agree with someone, don't attack them, reply respectfully!
This forum does not tolerate extreme profanity towards any person or topic on this forum. If you go out of line, you may end up getting banned and deleted from this forum.
Avoid double posts:
If you forgot to include something in your post, use the modify option on your right side of your post. The forum will come out looking much better this way, but of course, if you have something important to say and no one has posted below your previous post and there has gone at least one day, then sure, it's ok to make a "double post".
Opening a new thread:
If you want to open a new thread/topic, you must first look for any thread that might be similar to the one that you have in mind and consider if you should open a new thread. You open a new thread by clicking "New Thread" in the top of every topic. Always make sure that what you are posting, is in the right topic and that it doesn't belong somewhere else. You can always contact an admin if you are unsure.
