Forum Terms & Rules
Dear forum contributors, admins and moderators of this forum will be grateful to read carefully the next few lines before posting or creating a subject or topic.
1. Avoid duplication of questions and the multiplication of topics addressing the same theme
- From the time that the site and the forum exist, many problems have been addressed or resolved. To avoid the various contributors, moderators and admins to repeat for the nth time, follow these prerequisites before posting:
-> Remember to use the "Find" function of IPB which retrieves messages by using keywords. Properly set, the search will allow you to see if your question has not been addressed previously ... You can also revive an "old topic" rather than creating a new one, allowing a grouping of information.
- If you started a topic and if you want to extend the topic, continue the discussion in the same topic ... Do not creating another ...
2. Be sure to post in the correct forum and do not post the same question everywhere
- You need to think before posting to the forum and to define the sub-forum that is most thematically able to welcome your question. Each forum is clearly defined by a subtitle. This ensures that you will again get a rapid and appropriate help.
