I've noticed that, despite the obvious sticky labeled "Please read this first," people are still posting topics with names like "Please help," not posting their comp specs, not searching for solution before making new topic, or not trying things like safe mode and system restore. Please, please, please try those things first. People are more likely to read your topic if an interesting problem is named in the title. No matter how trivial your problem, post your specs. If solution is not here, Google can sometimes help. Also, try to speak coherently, so your and our time is not wasted by posts asking what someone said or means. And do NOT ask for help with anything that might be illegal. You may know you are not doing anything illegal, but we have no way of knowing that. Does the "Please read this first" sticky need to flash in big, neon letters? The nice, courteous people are here to help, but can only do so if you help them, so help yourself by following the guidelines, and you will enjoy your foruming experience more. Sorry if this repeats much of what is in the sticky, but apparently it isn't obvious enough. Thanks to those of you who do follow the guidelines.
