Etiquette when using the Forum - PLEASE READ THIS FIRST'
Search Before Posting. use the forum search option to make sure this question has not already been asked and answered by other users. Even if your question does not appear in the thread list it may still be available as an item in the Library of the main website Stay On Topic. it’s important to read all of the thread in the particular discussion and keep your posts related to the Original Post (OP). Create New Topic. If it is for a reply that is off topic or if the existing thread is very old or rambling consider creating new topic with a link to the old one. Don’t Double Post. When using the forums it annoys other users when you post the same message more than once and in more than one discussion thread. If you make a post and no one replies, then try sending private messages to HA members who have posted it on the topic before. Use Reply with Quote Only When Necessary to highlight a reply. Edit it if it is long as otherwise the thread becomes difficult to read Do not leave the reply post blank. Include the boat type and describe problem as clearly as you can with photos if possible Topic Subject Needs to Be Descriptive with key words so users can find them using the search engine Read Your Post Through Before Posting - sometimes predictive text or clumsy fingers can end up with rubbish that is difficult to understand Edit your posts it is easy to make corrections please do not repeat the post in its entirety or post corrections it makes it difficult to follow. You can always delete your own posts at any time.
