u would be surprised at the amount of people that posted at the old forums, with one line topics requesting code, or even full programs. we dont mind them asking for code, we dont mind giving out programs to specific people long as its just to help them, not to plagurize. i understand that some questions are only one line, thats ok, but the least they could do is say "hello" or "hey" and maybe introduce themselves if there new. then post there question, then say thank you. and if we manage to reply, they should be back again just to follow up on there post. which is why we have the email feature. even if they have the code they wanted alrdy, or figured out the problem, they should still follow up on it so we know, and then we know its all done.

To add to what booooze said. It is always worth following up your questions even if you've already fixed the problem you might find that someone has put up an answer that ultimately works out better. Also it is basic common courtesy to say thank you or at least aknowledge that what you have been given has helped you. The thing that really ticks me off is when a person will just copy their assignment brief onto the forums and then just sit back and wait for it to be done for them. They don't even attempt to post any code or even have a go at it themselves. Also people need to rethink titles. A few days ago on the forum there was a post entitled "?" This was not informative and should have had a more meaningful title. If you have a problem with a command button then say it in the title. And please don't put "this is an easy question but..." in the title. If it was easy you wouldn't be asking it.

Another thing to over come that could be present in the guidelines would be that this forum isn't just open to experts, you don't have to have made a particularly complicated program to qualify. I feel that sometimes people are embarrassed because they feel that their problem is easy and would be laughed at when this simply isn't true.

Posting guidelines are essential to the smooth running of this site.
