 Post subject: Some reminders
PostPosted: January 17th, 2008, 12:04 am 
Reminder #1.
For the last few weeks there are been several posts asking for help on various topics. That's why these forums exist.

However, I think it is appropriate to mention that many of the issues raised have already been discussed in a forum -- after all, there is not much that is really new on these forums :)

At the top of each page is the Search function. Using this often locates the answer to a problem -- much sooner than you will get there by waiting for responses.

Reminder #2.
When you ask for help, please tell us what you have attempted and if possible, attach an .IMP to show us your approach. I would much prefer to direct solutions along the path you have chosen than to set you off on a completely new track.

Reminder #3.
Finally, a perennial. Located at the top of each page, below and to the left of Search is Profile. If you haven't already done so, please open your profile and add a signature that automatically adds to each post information similar to what appears at the bottom of my posts.

Why is this important? That's simple! From your viewpoint, if we don't have this information we cannot always provide you with the most appropriate information, so you miss out on the best solution(s).

From my point of view, it is a waste of time for me to develop a response which assumes that you are using Opus v6, only to subsequently find that you use an older or different Opus product that lacks these functions/features, or your computer is not adequately resourced to support your project. To put it bluntly, I can find more to do with my time, and therefore I no longer respond to posts that lack informative signatures.

Ray,

I concur! With a lot of the posts you can only guess what is being asked.

I'm in agreement with Ray. If someone has a guestion, any one of us will be willing to answer (sometimes in great detail) them. But if we are going to take our time, the person asking for help should be willing to give us basic information like WHICH VERSION OF OPUS ARE YOU USING! It is so easy to include your operating system and computer info in either the post, or in the Profile Signature block. I'm just wasting my time if I explain a V6 Pro solution, if you have Headstart. And, at least make an attempt at doing a Search before asking for the same information AGAIN.
