Here are some quick helpful tips while enjoying our forums. Any questions about the forum and its features please ask before using. If you do not know what something does, how to use it, or where to find it, it always faster to ask someone who does.





Do a search for posts relevant to your problem.
Do read the FAQ section to see if the answer is there.
Do make the headline for your post relevant to your problem.
Do let us know about your specific problem and be detailed so that we can diagnose more easily.
Do post pictures of the post topic when applicable.(We aren't there and can better understand)
DO PROOF READ BEFORE HITTING SUBMIT, we are not in your head and will not understand half ass typing.
Do try and help where you can. The best way to learn a subject is to teach someone else.
Don't bump your post. If you have not gotten an answer in a reasonable amount of time. Post a reply to your own existing post with more details of what you have and haven't done to attempt to cure the problem or find answers to your questions. Try to explain it in a different way if maybe it's unclear.
Don't Private Message the SJ Team trying to get their attention for your post. The whole idea of the forum is education and a problem solved privately benefits no one except you.
Don't Cross Post. Cross Posting is posting the same message in multiple threads or posting links to threads on other boards. It's seen as spam.
Don't use LARGE banners or other images in your signature line. You will be asked to remove them, not resize them.
Don't hold independent contests or raffles. Include SJ. We too like events! :D
