NO WAREZ!
NO HACKZ!
NO APPZ!
NO CRACKZ!
NO! NO! NO!(In other words, we're here to discuss software you have a valid license for, not software a man in a mac in the pub gave you for a pint and a fondle.)
Questions about any Microsoft Operating System or program used under a Microsoft OS can be asked here, as long as it won't be better answered on another Boards.ie forum. For example, if you want to do obscure calculations in Excel, hack Messenger out of your system, or simply figure out why Windows is giving you gip lately, this is the place to ask. Conversely, if your CD drive is smoking, you can't figure out how to insert an image with Dreamweaver, or your ping is slowly fading into oblivion, there are far better places to ask your question (
HW Tweaking,
Webmaster and
Nets / Comms respectively). You may also tell us your experiences with Windows, or link to interesting items of information you find on your travels on the Internet. If you're quoting from an article, just post the first one or two paragraphs, and be sure to include a link.
No Trolling: Trolling is a moderators job, you shouldn't play with that which you don't understand. Unless it's very, very funny.
No Flaming: See "No Trolling".
No Spam: If you post your message to more than one or two other boards, and it's better answered on one of the others, I'll move your thread to the Recycle Bin. If it's important, point to the master thread.
No Soliciting: This is not a place for your to pimp your wares, do it in
For Sale unless it's absolutely on-topic. And it had better be damn good.
No Off-Topic Advocacy: When someone asks a question in relation to their current OS/browser/mailer/etc, either answer the question or don't post. If they want an alternative, they'll ask for it. Off-topic advocacy will be sent to the Recycle Bin and repeat offenders may be banned.
If you have a question
about this forum and you don't want to post it here, you can PM me; if you need to email me, PM me for my address. But be warned: I won't answer technical questions off the forum. That's what the forum is for. And I'm not that brilliant with Windows anyway.
Play nice now boys and girls! And L1nuX r0x!
