Re: How to ask a question
I agree with what you said completely, and would like to thread expand this a little more broadly past programming.
Heres a good tip, supplementing what Mike already said: Give examples, examples, and more examples! All too often ( I've done it, I should know) there are posts and threads that go "how do I do this"? How should I lift the tetra? Should I use wheels or tracks? All very good questions, but a bit too general, with no other info. Say for example,
"How are teams holding on to the tetra? We have a spear design that works alright, but what would you suggest as an alternate design?"
Oh, and specific thread titles. Instead of "why is this stuck?", title it " Fisher Price Gearbox Binding" Just helps with some confusion entering the thread.
These tips are all over the place, but Maybe not in one, question asking thread. Does anyone have a link?
