| Before Asking, Consider This... Some things to think about/do before you post:
Keep in mind, this is to help you get your questions across clearly so we can better help you:
- Before you post, do a search in the appropriate forum for your problem. You may find the solution in a previous thread.
- If the solution to your problem is not found in a previous thread, then start a new thread in the appropriate forum. Do -NOT- start a thread in one forum, then cross post in another forum to up your chances for a quick reply. If you mistakenly post in the wrong forum, don't worry, the mods will be more than happy to move your post to the appropriate forum.
- After you have typed out your question, please take advantage of the preview feature to correct any spelling/grammatical/punctuation errors. Re-read your post three or four times and try to make it as clear and concise as you possibly can. The better we can understand what you're trying to get help with, the quicker we can help you. If it's difficult to explain the problem in words, attach a screenshot if at all possible.
- Do not be rude with those who are trying to help you. Everyone gets a little frustrated, sometimes even quite a bit frustrated, when they have a computer problem that they don't understand and can't solve. We've all been there and we'll all be there many times in the future. It's part of owning a computer. Just be patient with us and eventually, your problem will get solved. Everyone loses their cool at one time or another when they're frustrated, but if it happens enough, you'll find that most people won't even want to try to help you.
- Make use of the links at the top of the page. If you read through the links, the FAQs, and still can't find the answer to your question, we'll be more than happy to help you. If you post a simple question that's plainly answered in one of the links at the top of the forum, you'll more than likely get a prompt answer of "read the FAQ" and that'll be the end of that. If you make an effort to help yourself by doing this, we'll be more enthusiastic about helping you to solve your problem. Those links are at the top of the forum page for a reason. Site members have spent their time putting together the FAQs and links to better help you. Make use of them.
- A simple "thanks" is all most people will ask for if their solution worked for you.

when i finish writing a post i usually read it on the preview page to make sure it makes sense but i completely disregard speelin errorrs and i always will.
i dont think grammar and spelling is all that important as long as it is basically understandable. hell, look at my signature, there is a spelling error in it.
BTW
for all the lazy people out there that dont want to type because it is to much effort, think about this...
i only use three fingers to type and look at what i manage to accomplish

quoting me is intelectual theft. |

| Well, a few typos are fine as long as the post is, like you said, basically understandable. But a post full of gross misspellings and complete lack of punctuation is very difficult to make heads or tails of. We all slip up at times and make typos.
