How to ask a question
Please follow these guidelines when posting questions as submitting clear and concise questions allows those reading
to understand your problem and respond more easily.
- Post your question in a relevant forum
- Make sure you are not posting in an Insights section
- Give the relevant Platform, OS and Version information
- Give as much detail as possible When you post a question or problem, express the situation clearly and concisely and include all relevant information, code used, data used, result expected, result achieved and any error codes or messages that you get as a result.
- Use Clear English to write your question in if possible, try to avoid using abbreviations
- Do not make duplicate posts or bump your thread to get attention.
- Make use of the available formatting tags in the forum
Use CODE tags around your code unless you are posting a single line of code in which case it is acceptable
to
omit them:
- [code]..code goes here..[/code]
- NOTE: You can also use the icon with '#' on the reply window.
- Do not ask people to reply by email or follow up answers with a PM
- Please don't say that a problem is urgent. To get a solution quicker make sure you put effort into the question.
- Please try to read your own post after you've posted it. If you can't make any sense of it, it's a fair bet that our experts will struggle and waste time just trying to understand what you're trying to say. Also, if you get bored when you're half-way through reading it because it rambles on endlessly, how will our experts fare?
- If you wish to post a question do not post it in a discussion created by someone else unless it is about exactly the same problem. Please start a new discussion.
