Forum rules

» 1. Searching
  1. Before posting a question, one should verify this hasn't been posted before. The forum contains an excellent search engine which should be consulted before posting any new questions.


Top

» 2. Spamming
  1. Spam is not tolerated here under any circumstance. This includes posting Job Offerings or contacting members by private messaging with Job Offerings (AKA recruitment activities), posting in other languages than English (besides in the forums where it is allowed), etc. Users posting spam will be warned and their post removed.


  2. If you want to advertise your services or events, you can use the forum 3th Party Products, Services & Events. This forum is available for sponsors of this website. Read more about the available sponsorship packages.

» 3. Posting
  1. Members should use an appropriate, descriptive title when posting a new topic. Examples of bad titles include: "Help me!", "I'm stuck!", "I've got an error!", etc. Examples of good titles include: "Getting error 4 in module 42", "Cannot restore a backup", etc.


  2. The use of the word URGENT in your topic title or topic text is not appreciated in this forum! If you want fast support, then buy a support ticket with Microsoft. Putting urgent in your message is not the right way to get a response. Members should note this forum and website are maintained on a voluntary basis. No forum member receives payment of any kind for time spent here. Users should therefore not post demanding support, bug fixes, etc.


  3. Posts are to be made in the relevant forum. Users are asked to read the forum descriptions before posting.


  4. Unless otherwise stated in the forum description, the language to be used in your topics is English. If you need to quote a (error) message, you are free to use the language of the message, but please also add a translation in English.


  5. Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users. Flaming or abusing users in any way will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning.


  6. Members should remember this board is aimed at a general audience. Posting generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be tolerated. This also includes text in signatures.


  7. Members should post in a way which is consistent with "normal writing". That is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, large, small or coloured text, etc. Similarly, users should not SHOUT or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts.


  8. If you would like to add something to your post, after hitting the <SUBMIT> button, please use "EDIT" to modify your posting rather than creating a new post.


  9. When your question has been answered and your issue has been solved, it is good practice to mark your posting as solved. This way other people know this question has been answered or can lookup the solution to that problem. If you have found the answer yourself, please let us know how you solved it, and mark your posting as solved as well.

    How to mark your topic as 'Solved' ?:
    • Open your Topic thread.
    • You'll find an option "Topic attributes" at the bottom right corner of the page.
      Note: this field is only visible for threads where the first post originates from you!
    • Set (or clear) the Solved-icon by changing this attribute. Possible values are: None, Solved, Good Posting!.


  10. Members should not post topics with "Me too" messages or putting their e-mail address in a message asking for some files or documents. If you want to contact the author of a message, you can use the private message feature of this forum.


  11. Members are welcome to use the test forum for general "test purposes". These may include checking signatures, testing a link or image, etc.


  12. When posting questions to a professional forum it is vital to format the question and it's content in a proper way in order to greatly increase the possibility for quickly receiving a good answer, and thus saving you time and frustration. Please consult these pages which gives you some guidelines: How to ask a question and Make it Easy for People to Help You.


  13. Don't use an image attachment to display your error message. In NAV, you can use Ctrl-C on a error message, to capture the error in text format, so you can paste that in your posting.
    Why ?:
    1. to conserve disk space
    2. otherwise people with the same error can't use search to find your topic, as you can't search in images


  14. Members are asked to not post messages with only "thank you" or "welcome" as content, as this doesn't add any value to the thread.

» 4. Moderating
  1. Members are asked to not act as "back seat moderators". If members note an issue which contravenes something in this policy document they are welcome to bring it to the attention of a member of the Moderator Team. You can do this by using the red "exclamation" mark (="!") icon you find next to each message. Do not respond to such topics yourself.


  2. The Moderator and Webmaster reserve the right to edit or remove any post at any time. The determination of what is construed as indecent, vulgar, spam, etc. as noted in these points is up to them and not users. Members are encouraged to report "bad" postings using the "Report post" feature (see rule #4.1).

» 5. Private messaging
  1. General questions should be asked in the forum. Do not use the private messaging system or private e-mail system to ask your question to a forum user. Most users are very busy, and will help whenever they can to provide a solution to your problem. But only if you don't threat them as your own personal problem-solver.


  2. These forum rules where applicable also apply to private messaging. Abuse of the private messaging system may lead to warnings (as above) and/or the revokation of private messaging.
