Tips on how to get your question answered

Here are some tips to help you recieve the best answers to your questions.  

- Read back over your question before you press post.  This will ensure it makes sense and reads well.  

- Prective text can really let you down, so make sure you check that your question hasn't  changed into something you didn't intend it too. 

- Make sure you give your question context, so sometimes a little back story is imperative. 

- Include important points to your question or people will fill in the gaps with their imagination and that can cause the question to go off the original intended topic. 

- Make sure you check your spelling & grammar.  - I'm personally a bit shocking with both spelling and grammer so I understand.

- Try not to be vague.  Vague questions recieve vague answers or even worse no answers. 

- I've seen people leave out vital parts to their question then they get flustered when people presume something else so make sure you take your time to read over - I can't express that enough.

- Finally just riterating take the time to ensure your question is in fact answerable. 

When answering questions

- Please bide by the code of conduct :) 

- Please read the question correctly and answer the actual question rather than giving your opinion on it.  Unless of course they are asking for your opinion :) 

- Type your advice,  put yourself in the questioners shoes and Keep if it's advice that can be used or delete if you think it may come across offensively.
