Posting in Computers/IT and the Web.

Newer members often state that they think their question is too basic, or stupid, or whatever, to be posted. Nothing could be further further from the truth in any section at DSLRUsers.com, but especially here. Don't feel intimidated. The only stupid question is the one that remains unasked. We were all beginners at one stage, and even the most experienced amongst us will admit to learning new stuff on a daily basis. Ask away! Please also refer to the forum rules and the portal page

Sorry guys, was going to reply to some questions in the Computers thread but it wont' allow me. I need to become a member?

My job is high level technical support so I figured I could help some people there.

Ahh, yeah sorry, I'm adjusting to how these forums are setup. I hadn't paid much attention to that list before :oops: .

I guess I'm just anxious to assist.

Thanks mate :)

No problem. One other thing. Probably 90% of us are in Australia so it might be an idea to put where in Australia you are in your profile, rather than just saying Australia. That helps us when we make suggestions about places to go and stuff like that. eg if you're in Sydney it would be good for you (and your partner) to make it to a mini meet one Saturday - not much good if you live in Perth though :wink: :lol:

Certainly, in terms of location, "Australia" is about as helpful as "mars", and in terms of being able to post to the computers section, I wouldn't permit qualification because location is a requirement, and that's being obstructive, rather than helpful.
