Photography Forum Etiquette - Please Read Before Posting - Barbara G. - Apr 19, 2014

Please read the rules before posting in the forums.

Search to see if the topic you are interested in has been posted already.

Create meaningful titles for your posts.

Please complete your posts with your first name, especially if you do not have a signature; this allows other members to address you more personally.

Any photos, content, or links, found that is not family friendly will be deleted.

Be courteous to the moderator and the members in the forums.

Please stay on topic within the threads. Create new threads instead of hijacking existing threads. (For example, if someone has posted a picture in the critique forums, please create your own thread if you as another member are posting one of your own photograph to also be critiqued)

Using all CAPS in sentences is considered shouting in the online world; please refrain from using ALL CAPS.

When replying to a post using the quote option, please make the quote shorter which highlights the portion you are commenting to. When you hit quote, use your cursor to delete unneeded information/photos for the next reader from within the quoted info, especially when the original post is long.

Please remember, the written word lacks individuals seeing each other in person and words can be taken wrong when written with strong boldness.

Note: For future photography contests, we will be asking that posts/comments be held until the end of the contest period.

These rules may be modified from time to time at the discretion of the moderator/administrator to provide the best possible atmosphere in the photography forums.

Hi all as a new member I want to use the site correctly and I must admit it do's look at first a little daunting and it's easy to make a mistake as you may have done but hi ho that's life no ones hurt but what I have done is book marked Barbara's guide lines so until I am really familiar with using the forums I can quickly refer to the rules.

Hello,

You are welcome here! I am not the expert when it comes to photography, just the grounds keeper, so to speak.

If you have questions, feel free to post them and there are members who enjoy helping who know way more than I do.

Thanks!
