How to ask a question to get most useful answer?
Before posting a question do try to find an answer in FAQ, in documentation and in forum.

If you couldn’t find an answer to your question, ask it in forum sticking to these rules:
1. Put an idea of your question to subject line. Subjects like ’Help’, or ’I don’t know what to do’ won’t really mean anything, so you are likely to get little attention
2. In message body put what you wanted to get, what you did, and what you did get
3. Remember that others would try to help you to solve your problem solely reading the description you’ve provided, so try to describe everything in detail, sequentally, try to reduce slang and other things, reducing readability of your post.

If your question is about Parser code:
1. Provide relevant piece of this code (do not post 10 pages of code, nobody will read it)
2. It’s preferable to post code in pseudotags [code][/code]. This would help others to read it.
3. Indicate precise version of Parser/web-server/OS used.

If your question is not about Parser, but rather about Apache, MySQL, IIS, etc-do not forget to search for answer in corresponding documentations (google is also very useful, especially searching in groups).
Have you written it? Now thoroughly re-read your message. In 80% cases it already contains an answer to your question.

I want something in my message to set off in color, style or publish piece of code. What should I do?
You sould read about “format commands in forum” and use them.

I switched on an option “send all forum messages to my E-mail”, could it be configured that in my mail client they would display in threads?
In some mail clients you can do that.
1. configure message filter so that messages from forum would get to separate folder
2a. The Bat!: for this folder select: View|View threads by|References
2b. Outlook Express: View|Current View... (*) Group messages by conversation

Why some user names are black while others are grey?
Those in black are registered users which logged under registered name, while those in grey were not logged on.

What are “My threads”?
These are threads, in which currently logged-in user has ever participated. This mode is available only to logged-in users. There’s no point in sending a link to any of pages of “My threads”, nobody but you will see the page the way you see it.

Why some messages have two timestamps?
The first is the posting timestamp, while the second is last modification timestamp. You can modify your own message unless somebody has already replied to it.
P. S. Moderator can only erase messages, but not change them.

Why cannot I edit some of my messages?
You can edit your message only until somebody replies to it.

Why times of some messages are set off in red?
Messages with red timestamps are new.
By default, ’New’ messages are those posted less then 72 hours ago. Registered users can set an option in a forum profile to make ’new’ mean ’those posted after the time I last logged in’.

What does (-) next to message subject mean?
It means, that this message has no “body”, e.g. one may not click it, there’s nothing more to see then the subject line. This mark is set automatically, there’s no need to type it in by hand. A link is there for those who’d like to reply to the message.
