If you are unsure you may consider sending a private message to a moderator instead. (It looks like an exclamation point in a triangle and it is available under every post.) This send a notification to all of the moderators, so somebody will see it and deal with it. If you see spam, a wildly off-topic post, or something abusive or illegal please report the thread by clicking on the "Report Post" icon.
#Amiga workbench 3.1 adf how to
Our discussions here generally fall under "fair use." Telling people how to pirate a software title is an example of something that is not allowable here. Do not use our resources for something that is legally or morally questionable. We don't want people using these forums to discuss or enable copyright violations or other things that are against the law whether you agree with the law or not is irrelevant. We are here to discuss vintage computing, so discussing software, books, and other intellectual property that is on-topic is fine.
if you have a PM waiting, it will tell you there. Look up at the top near the right edge where it says 'Notifications'. And the person you are sending the PM to will be notified by the forum software that they have a message waiting for them.
#Amiga workbench 3.1 adf update
Why do we have this policy? Sending a "PM Sent!" type message basically wastes everybody else's time by making them having to scroll past a post in a thread that looks to be updated, when the update is not meaningful. ": This is a very specific and directed question that is not of interest to anybody else. the forum software will tell the other person that they have a PM waiting. "PM Sent!": Do not tell the rest of us that you sent a PM.Here are some obvious examples of when you should not reply to a thread and use the PM system instead: In short, if you are going to reply to a thread and that reply is targeted to a specific individual and not of interest to anybody else (either now or in the future) then send a private message instead. This forum has a private message feature that we want people to use for messages that are not of general interest to other members. Rule 4: "PM Sent!" messages (or, how to use the Private Message system) Use the Private Message system for posts that are targeted at a specific person.Just start a new thread for your related topic. And even then, that person may have moved on. Do not "necro-post" unless you are following up to a specific person on a specific thread.Worse yet, they will stop visiting and we'll lose their experience and contributions. If people read your posts and feel that their time as been wasted, they will stop reading your posts. A post should be on topic, clear, and contribute something meaningful to the discussion. If you are taking less than 30 seconds to make a post then you are probably doing something wrong. Coming here should not be a waste of time. To put things in engineering terms, we value a high signal to noise ratio.
You can always start a new thread instead of potentially "hijacking" an existing thread.
