Before you post : A search should be done to see if your questions have not been already posted. Avoiding posting the same topic twice, will make it faster for you to get a response.

Topic titles : When you post your question. you must use a title related to your problem/question. Words such as "Urgent", "SOS", "Question", "Problem", "Hurry" are not tolerated. Capitals should also be avoided.

This is because the forum's search engine bases it's search results on keywords found in topic titles. When you do a search, do you use "help", "urgent", "problem", "SOS" or "question" as keywords to look for topics about your problem/question?

Certainly not! So this is why it is important to use titles related to your problem/question. Doing this makes the searches much easier for visitors who use the search engine to get an answer to their question

Description of your problem/question : When you ask a question, try to be clear and accurate about what you want to say. Don't hesitate to describe your problem. The more info you give, the better response you will get.

Language on this forum : Please write in English, SMS (cell phone) style message, and deliberate mistakes must be avoided. But lets be realistic we are migraine suffers and one of the first things to go is spelling - so please be kind if you spot mistakes.

Colours and capitals and size : When you write your message, please don't abuse capitals (it means that you shout), colours and bold. Re-sizing your text is also a bad idea. Overly large text resembles screaming. Colours and Bold text are reserved for moderation, therefore don't use them - however we appreciate that there are some days when you do just want to scream

Advertising: Spamming will not be tolerated, even by PM. - Advertising will result in an instant ban.
