    Tips for Asking Questions on the Forum

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    If you have a comment or suggestion for this sticky, please go to this thread and post:Tips for Asking Questions on the Forum (Discussion)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Every day, we see members asking great questions when they need help. There is a huge base of knowledge and experience here, and we can frequently help you resolve a problem without having to get a dealership or GDRV involved. Many of our members are engineers, mechanics, technicians, electricians, plumbers, etc. But frequently the questions lack key details that will allow us to help.

    When asking a question, it helps if you include the following:

    Information Needed in the Post
    RV Year, make, and model.
    Component make and model.
    Specific details on the issue you need to resolve.
    What you've already tried to resolve the problem.
    Photographs if possible.

    Also consider that the following are also helpful to ensure the right people open your post:

    Descriptive Thread Titles are Important
    When a person is looking at dozens of posts a day or has slow internet, it's helpful if the Title is informative about the topic at hand. For example, if the Title says "Water panel problem on an Imagine 2500", it is much more informative than "Water problem". And titles like "This just in", "This is interesting", etc. can be related to anything.

    The following is (almost) a direct quote from a post by the Adminstrator, Janet H, to the Moderators but is applicable to all participants:
    - Thread titles convey important info to forum users and they need to be descriptive, they also need to be spelled correctly because our search engine needs all the help it can get.
    - Thread titles should convey information about the topic of the thread. "Help - leveling problems" is much better than "Help". Members will be more likely to read this thread and search engines more likely to find it.
    - Don't use a lot of punctuation. Help! Squirrel ate keys! is good, Help!!!! Squirrel ate keys!!!!!!!!! is not.

    Use the Right Area for Your Question
    Please ensure you are posting your questions to the correct areas so that we keep the content organized and easy to read. -Admin Chris
