December 13, 200421 yr What is the suggested forum etiquette?Some suggest practicing the following etiquette to help you and others make the most of our forums: Before posting your question, as DS has stated a million times before, search the forum. Your question or comment may have already been discussed, answered, or resolved. Create a concise subject that adequately summarizes your topic. For example: "Ideas on customizing the panel template?" Also, use words such as "Urgent" or "Important" in your subject line. This is after all, a support forum. Do not use all capital letters, excessive question marks (?) or exclamation points (!) in your subject or content. Increase the likelihood of starting a discussion by providing details in your comment or question, and by choosing a relevant category, release and platform for your topic. Be patient. All the participants of this forum, including LDS developers, are using the forum and participating in discussions on their own time. Help others. The forum is a community, and works best when people share information. Give feedback. If someone helps you by answering your question, try to add a follow-up response letting them know if it worked or not. Welcome newcomers. Do not chastise them for not reading the forum etiquette. Make them feel welcome in the community. Now with that said, why do we here at the forum not follow these simple guidelines? Answer: We are human. Humans screw up. This is text, humans are not good with text. There are cross cutural/verbal concerns... we are all from different cultures.. this makes us human. Live a little. Smile, laugh and for god's sake, don't take everything texted as serious. If you do, you are inline for some target practice. Yes, it is not nice, but who is? Humans are not nice.History is full of not nice humans. But you, and sadly I, can make a difference. I would like to take this time to wish all of you, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I love the baby *******!
