Heya Chewtoy (or anyone else), just a quick question on forum etiquette . . . please keep in mind that this is the first forum I've ever used!Chewtoy wrote:redblack.... You know you can quote several people in the same post, right?
You can also include more than 1 pic in the same post.
So, please do that instead of some massive double (QUADRO!) posting?
If I answer a question on a skin beta testing page but also want to upload a new file to the page, do I have to put these both in the one post?? That seems really confusing and illogical to me, as there is logical distinction between the post I'm answering and the file I want to upload. If I was reading the page I'd probably ignore the file (if I even saw it buried in the answer amongst code examples etc) as it would seem to be relevant to that particular answer . . and in this case it is definitely not at all.
I would probably be able to answer this myself if I knew exactly why quadro-posting was bad . . . I've noticed that newly replied-to topics go back to the top of their respective page . . is it something to do with this? I was concerned about abusing this when I uploaded my Skins, so I just made sure I did them all at once so it made no difference . . .
Anyway, I'm looking forward to illumination on this subject, and would also suggest that info regarding forum etiquette actually be available on the forum. The FAQ seems to be void of any reference to it :[ I'm 29 years old, have been using the internet since 1994, downloaded Winamp 1.0 when it first came out and had one of the first non-commercial broadband hookups an Australia, yet I've still never posted to a forum before arriving here! Simply because I've never needed to. We might be alienating potential Raineers if we assume everyone's an all-encompassing web geek :]
Now, where's that '2 cents' emoticon thingamajig???
