Topic Wiki

This is the thread where you can ask any random question you have. Feel free to ask even the most basic questions that you otherwise might be embarrassed to ask. This is the thread for beginners, so veterans here will treat you nicely. Ask a beginner's Q in some other threads and no guarantee of that same treatment. ;)
People here want to help, so just have some patience, follow the tips below and hopefully someone will help you when they have a chance.

If you looking for a particular thread you once saw and can't find it, this is not the place to ask. Check out Help Me Find It and ask there.

How to ask a question in this thread:
Click the blue reply button at the top or bottom of the page, type your question, and click post!

Some helpful tips for eliciting answers from other members:
- Keep your question short and precise. No one wants to read a megillah.
- The more questions you ask in one post, the less likely any will be answered. People are willing to answer a question or two, but if you ask all the questions that apply to your particular issue, you're expecting to be spoonfed. Members don't like holding out the spoon, so ask accordingly.

My PM inbox reaches capacity at 1 message. Anyone know how to increase that capacity? My guess is that I probably need to post more. I have one post pending moderator approval right now. Wondering how many posts it takes before the training wheels come off. Thanks!

So anything with a purpose goes in GD while anything with a non purpose or just for purpose of sharing your opinion or just having fun goes in JS?

How do you create a topic with a wiki (or a wiki within a topic)?
Does editing a wiki bump the thread?
Do you want to play a board game, digitally or in Lakewood NJ? PM me. (Can be asynchronous, i.e. take turns whenever)

Any thread can have a wiki just click Add wiki on top and no editing a wiki will not bump the thread

Why is everyone so nervous about their credit report in terms of pulls? Why is it so bad to have a verizon pull for example that people would freeze their credit out of caution?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Pulls in general are overrated, but for specific scenarios, they can be problematic.
Memories last forever, make them while you can.

Agreed on the overrated part, for specific scenarios for e.g a mortgage or car loan, I doubt the lender will take a Verizon pull as a negative.
I was the Best,still the Best, and will always be the Best.
Pele Good,Maradona Better, George Best.
