When someone posts purely to bring it to the top of the list

Every now and again PCworld has competitions . And to thanks people who help out here, everyone tho has X posts is in the draw .

If you have something useful to add, or have a question that directly relates to the topic then feel free to post . But it's generally berrer to post a new topic if the last one is over a month old .

> Will my query get emailed to everyone on the thread
> to their boredom/ annoyance three days later?

Anyone who dosen't want to get emails about the thread can simply stop watching it . Don't worry about it . Everyone here has a right to post .

> Where can I find a 'glossary' of such terms?

Just ask . People will be happy to help

> Everyone on the forum lauds the FAQs?

They are very useful, and all have highly useful information .

> Am I the only one who can never open them?

Nope . For most they are slow to load . The admins know, and are working to fix it . But good things come to those to wait ;)

It's a simple matter to scan down the topics and open the ones that sound interesting. Ignore the ones that don't.
But waiting for Press F1 to load. Reading that. Then another wait while Press F2 opens. YUK!!!!!

One useful item would be a flashing light and rude noises that come on, only on the posters computer, every time a question is asked more than ten times

I am not sure what you are on about because the majority of the FAQs have been redone and reposted and should now open pretty much as fast as any recent thread, or no more than a few seconds slower. Have you actually tried any lately?

The only slow loading FAQs are the ones that do not have -FAQ- as the author.

Yes .

Eh! why, If you're adding to a post, keep it in context . There is nothing wrong with posting in the thread that you have an answer for or a query about . Guideline, Item 5 ( . pcworld . co . nz/thread . jsp?forum=1&thread=49912" target="_blank">pressf1 . pcworld . co . nz) gives adequate reasons for this .
