Tuesday Tip #3: Tips for Creating a New Forum Post
Today, in our Tuesday Tips series, we're spotlighting efficient practices for posting questions in the community.
To save time and receive precise responses from your peers:
- Log in to your community profile.
- Search in the community global search: Find existing answers by entering your question or keywords in the community global search box. (Guide to Community Global Search).
- Utilize filters such as category, status, and sorting options like date or recent replies.
- Ask a new question: If you don't find an answer, post your question. Some may take longer to answer due to complexity.
- Autosuggest: When typing a new question, check suggested threads for similar relevant information. Icons indicate suggested and verified answers.
- When writing your question, please keep the following in mind:
- Subject line: Keep it concise (5-10 words) and specific
- Description: Clearly outline your problem with details and optional images
- Formatting: Use bold, italics, links, and bullet points for clarity
- Category: Select the appropriate dropdown category for your question
- Things to avoid:
- No ads, product/service promotion, or job postings
- Start a new thread for each question
- Avoid ALL CAPS; it's considered impolite
- Skip unnecessary phrases like "Please Help" or "Urgent"
- Don't share emails publicly - connect privately
- Report trolling or spam - use the report-abuse option on threads
Also, when your question is answered, remember to mark the answer(s) as verified to help others in the future.
We trust this will enhance your question-posting efficiency, ensuring swift community responses. For assistance, feel free to contact us at Community Support.
