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.

I'm assuming there's some kind of initial anti-spam period? Joined the other day and only have 1 private message available and always have spam/captcha stuff on every post.

I didn't see anything in the rules or wiki about this.

Could someone help point me/link me to this policy or let me know when it would convert to a normal account?

How can I check new replies to my posts? (not replies to threads that I posted in 3 years ago)

Any way to do this? Can we add a "Show your quoted posts still unread" or something like that?

I would love a setting limiting the "replies to your posts" to a certain amount of time back.

Or a setting to ignore the thread in the replies, but not in the general unread threads.

IIRC you will receive a more generous PM allowance once you've posted a bit more.
