    Lightbulb Hitchhiker's Guide to Getting Help at VBF - How to remove eels from your hovercraft.

    So you're working on a project, you've just done something and it's gone bad. Or, you need to do something, you have an idea what, but are not sure how to go about getting it done. Or maybe you're just starting out, and want to learn how to do something for the first time. That's great, you're in the right place. Here's some tips to help you get help on VBForums. Please note, this is geared towards development/programing issues. For hardware/PC/OS difficulties, you're on your own.

    The Guide has been broken up into several section:
    Before You Post – things you need to know before you start
    Picking Where to Post – maximize your exposure
    Writing Your Post – take advantage of the exposure
    After You Have Posted – the feed and caring of your post
    When You Get Replies – take care of your neighbors
    When You Have a Solution – like the Oscars, thank those that helped
    When Posting Goes Wrong – sometimes don't go according to plan
    When All is Said and Done – parting words

    =====
    Addendum. This is a work in progress, and is the culmination of work from various sources. Thanks to all who have given their input, especially those from the last version of this guide. Your inputs have proven invaluable.
    I will do my best to make sure this document/thread remains relevant and accurate.
