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.

Huh?
What is the zipcode you mail payments for your Ink Plus card to. Just received the card and need to make a payment. My bill pay looks up by zipcode.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Oh okay. Billing zip code usually refers to the zip where the bill is mailed to.

I don't know off hand.  You can go to chase.com and select "statements" and you'll see the payment address listed on the statement.

FWIW, I've paid them both with the same BlueBird Payee.
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

Wow, I didn't think this was such a big deal. I am not asking for any money just a simple zipcode.  :(

Wow. You really need to think before you write.
I once had to change someone's signature until they reformed :P

Yeah, reminds me of the late HM saying:
Forums are not democracies they are dictatorships.

I didnt understand what he means till I found out.


Either way, how come your profile says you're offline, while you're posting away?

This forum has less moderation than 99.9% of forums out there.  I've worked for other forums and participate in other forums and the heavy handed moderation is crazy sometimes.

Magic.

I often go to the "see new replies to your posts" when I jump into the forums... is there a way to like unsubcribe from certain topics (topics that I may have posted a lon time ago that keep showing up) or maybe a way to mark certain ones as "read" as oppose to all of them ?
Pleas hold. Your call will be answered in the order it was received.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I was getting a dozen emails and PMs a day asking how to make a thread.
It's easier to merge their new topics :P

RTM 'em please.
