Tip & How-To about Computers & Internet
Before You Ask:
We like answering people who have demonstrated they can learn from the answers.Post your answer, sit back, Relax and give some thought before approaching experts.Prepare your questions, Think it through.
Write in Clear Grammar, Correctly-spelled language:
We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually careless and sloppy at thinking and coding.Expressing your answer clearly and well is very important.If you can't be bothered to do that we can't be bothered to pay attention.It doesn't have to be stiff or normal in-fact. But it has to be precise. There has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention too.Spell, Punctuate and capitalize correctly. Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS. This is considered as shouting or considered rude. Try to use native language in asking questions. Busy experts tend to simply flush questions in language they don't understand. Do not use instant messaging short-cuts. Don't write 'YOU' as 'U'.English is the working language on the internet. By writing in English you minimize your chances that your question will be discarded unread.
Use meaningful and Specific subject headers:
The subject header is your golden opportunity to attract qualified expert's attention in around 50 characters or fewer. Don't waste it on babble like "PLEASE HELP ME". Messages with subject like this get discarded by reflex.
Stupid:
Help! Video doesn't run properly on my laptop.
