I've been asked by a member, and a regular user of the forum, if I would have a word about message format, ie, how we type the messages in the box.
1. Please DON'T use all upper case (capital) letters. It looks like you're shouting and it isn't easy to read. If you don't want to use the shift key at all then it's better to use all lower case letters.
2. Try to avoid long paragraphs. Break the text up by occasionally hitting the enter key twice.
3. If you make a glaring mistake, don't worry. If I spot it I'll edit your posting as appropriate. If I don't spot it just drop me an email and tell me about it. Minor mistakes don't matter providing the message is clear.
4. Don't forget to send me your forum pictures if you're having trouble doing them yourself. I don't mind at all doing them, so don't hesitate.
5. And remember that none of these suggestions are written in stone, they are just that, suggestions, that make postings easier on the eye and a greater pleasure to read.
