Newbie with an etiquet question

lcole · 04-05-2011, 02:41 PM

Hello,

I'm lcole, and I am happy to find a forum that discusses EBOOKS.

It's been a long time since I was active in forums, and I have forgotten a lot about posting in a forum.

I am here today because I have a question. Of course it is likely that part of my question has already been answered, but I still want to post it.

Should I read the hundreds of posts related to my subject matter and post TO the one most related to my question? Should I go to the end of the thread and post following another post several years old?

Should I just start a new thread that may be similar or related to an older thread?

Where do I post?

Hi lcole and welcome to MobileRead. I recommend you browse through the threads in the section related to you question. If you see one that closely matches what you are looking for then add a post. Otherwise, start a new thread.

We're a pretty easy going group of bookworms here and no one is going to get upset if you repeat a question.

Good to have your company, Icole. Cass' advice is sound. You'll soon get any help you need in one of the sub forums. Luck and best wishes. Neil

The only thing that seems to bother book worms around here is getting questions posted in the proper sub-forums. So I really would not worry about re-posting old questions, I have never heard anyone get peeved about that like I have heard others at other forums do. So what I would recommend that you do is to look at mobileread.com/forums and the list of the sub-forums and attempt to get your questions in the correct pigeon hole, although don't worry if you get that wrong, these things happen.
