General Tips For Posting
As a member of this community, you can be a great help in making these discussions a more useful resource for yourself and your fellow members by observing a few simple rules of thumb when you post:

- There aren't any rules here about staying on-topic and we don't want to make any, because some of the best stuff comes up in off-topic "digressions". But it'll be a great help if you always insert a subject line in your posts—one that's relevant to the actual content of your post, especially if the post wanders off-topic. The search engine for the phpBB bulletin board is optimized for searching topics and subjects. Your insertion of a subject line that describes your post's content will be helpful not only to others, but also to you.
- Post new topics in the forums that most closely fit the subject of your original post.
- If you happen to open up a new subject that bears significant further discussion in the process of replying to a post in an existing thread, post your reply in an existing thread on that same subject, or start a new discussion under a new topic in the appropriate thread. Then, simply post a brief reply in the original thread, and include a link to your full reply in the appropriate place. If you don't know how to include a link to another thread or post, see How To Link To Other Posts or Threads.
- Please try to avoid opening multiple threads on the same subject. For example, another pipe smoker's forum has numerous threads on a single pipe tobacco, or on the subject of "bitey Virginias". If we all include relevant subject lines in our posts, it will be a relatively quick and simple process to search for threads and posts that already provide a suitable place for posting on subjects that other members already might have covered in depth.
