forum etiquette

Post by rsphaeroides » Tue Sep 13, 2005 12:04 am

What’s the forum etiquette here on top or ttt posts?  If there is a post that is languishing on page six with zero responses after three or four days (or unresolved even with responses) is it ok to post just to bring it back into the limelight?

On a parallel note, will the forum be dividing into more subcategories?  The general thread is getting pretty deep already.  I’ve noticed the moderators moving many posts into more appropriate homes, but do we need more slots for things?

We already have plenty of other 'slots'. Look below the general questions....

Etiquette... use you discretion. Don't ressurect *old* threads, however often there is a genuine reason to reply to an older thread. If it is too old.. i'm sure a moderator will lock it.

BTW you might want to see the rules here: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,65.0.html

PS Your signature needs to be adjusted to fit in with the rules... no href links.. only literal links please.

So if a thread is very old, we should just create a new topic if we have questions on it? Im serious here- not trying to be an idiot.

Now the question is, in this fast-paced new environment of the joomla forums, what is considered "old"? :D
