Forum Etiquette - Please Read

Hello - I know forums must be new to some folks and other than the rules*, which everyone should read on the Main Forum index after you first login, there are some other nuances that you may not be aware of - in fact I know you aren't.

You can START A TOPIC just by clicking the New Thread button at the top left of the screen from the PIPS Forum index.

OR you can participate in a thread (topic) someone else has started if you want to ask questions or add comments RELATED to that TOPIC.

If you go to a thread and start talking about something different, it is like interrupting the conversation - and instead, you should start your own thread so people can go there to talk to you about THAT TOPIC.

It's kind of rude to interrupt a conversation and change the subject, isn't it?

Just visualize - you are standing at the water cooler and talking to your mates about keywords - trying to focus and understand the train of thought - building on your information with each new comment.

Just then a guy walks up and jumps into the middle of your conversation and wants to talk about his hip new gimmick for video games. Isn't this kind of confusing?

You are encouraged and more than welcome to participate in any conversation - again, if you have questions or comments directly related to that conversation.

If you have some other unrelated comments or questions, please start your own thread and a new conversation, which you are also encouraged to do.

With that said, you might take a peek at the threads already started on Page 1 & even 2 in case you see an ongoing conversation on the topic you are wanting to talk about, and add your comments there, before starting another thread with the same subject.

Thanks for your cooperation -

Thanks Thomas -

I just 'hijacked' your cool graphic for my Tips thread. (thanks again!)

I wish I could find my 'No Whining' sign - it is here someplace.

Yeh - it is especially for the Warror forum with the colors and all.

I will never find it - i think it was in a forum rules thread I did some years back that was a sticky - i don't think I am going to search through 10,000 posts...
