Reminder of the posting rules and policies of Delphi-Programming
================================================================
________________________________________________________________________
Please do not reply to this message. Comments, critics, suggestions,
etc. should be sent to the moderators.
________________________________________________________________________
This is a reminder of a small subset of the posting rules and policies
of the forum. The full set can be found here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/delphi-programming/files/auto/Rules.txt
* Provide a meaningful subject for your questions with some keywords
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Many of us don't have time to read all the messages, so please provide
a meaningful subject for your question, so we can easily spot the
messages in our area of interest or expertise. This also facilitates
searches, since many of us use the forum as a sort of knowledge base.
Also, try to avoid the use of words like "problem", "doubt",
"question", "need", "help" (unless you are referring to a topic
related to help, like help files), etc.
WRONG: "Printing problem"
RIGHT: "QReport: Band doesn't start in a new page"
* Delete as much of the original message as possible when replying
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To make messages shorter, at least delete footers, and previous
messages in the thread when replying to a message.
* No "Where can I find...?" or "Can anyone send me...?" messages
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you need components, libraries, ActiveX objects, utilities,
tutorials, examples, information, etc., this forum is the wrong place
to ask. These questions usually go unanswered or they get answers like
"Try searching in a-well-known-site.com", so these questions and their
answers impact negatively on the average value of the messages. For
those who are interested in this kind of messages, we have a forum
specially dedicated to search/recommend this kind of material:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/components
To subscribe to the Software Components forum:
- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/components/join
- [email protected]
* No garbage messages
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Garbage messages are those that do not add value to the forum, and
simply serve to increase the forum traffic, thus diminishing the
average value of the messages:
- "Thank you" messages. If you want to express your gratitude when a
forum member helps you with a problem, please send the message to
his personal account, not to everybody in the forum (i.e. not to
[email protected]).
- "I want it" and "Me too" messages. If you want to ask for a
component, tutorial, example, or any other meterial offered by a
member, please send the request to his personal account, not to
all members (i.e. not to [email protected]).
- Off-topics, advertisements, chain letters, virus alerts, etc.
- Complaint messages. If you want to complain about anything in the
forum (like a member sending garbage messages), please send your
message to the moderators, not to everybody in the forum (i.e. not
to [email protected]).
* Attachments are discarded
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Due to viruses and other reasons, attachments will be discarded. If
you have an archive to share, contact the petitioner directly about
sending the archive to his/her email address, or send a link to the
resource on the Internet, or send it to the moderators for uploading
to the Files section of the forum.
* Provide enough information about your problem
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We are not fortune tellers. If you want help, give details. Include
enough data about your problem, like for example, as may apply:
- Delphi version and Update Pack
- Windows version
- Database type you are accessing (Paradox, Access, etc.) and
data access components used (BDE, ADO, IBX, etc.)
- Version of BDE, MDAC, Interbase, etc. you are using
- Sample of source code where the error occurs (enough to reproduce
the problem with minimum effort if possible)
- Exact place where the error occurs (line of code)
- Exact text of the error message
- Moment when the error occurs (design time, compilation time, or
runtime, plus any other circumstance that should be mentioned).
For example, "I use D5.1 - W98SE - PDOX 7 - BDE 5.11" means you are
using Delphi 5 Update Pack 1 in a Windows 98 Second Edition, that you
are accessing a Paradox 7 database with the BDE components and that
you have the BDE version 5.11 installed.
It's important that the forum grows in members, since more members
mean more quantity and quality of answers. For this reason I'd like to
ask you to invite friends, acquaintances, workmates and colleagues to
join the forum.
