Hi I think this was done a while ago, but could I re-post this again.

It would really help us all to help you when you ask a question (unless its just so obvious) to give us at least the below information.


1> system type: MD, BP eg
2> software: bc9 , 10, 11 etc
3> What is the problem: In as clear and concise as you can.
4> Additional information: has it happened before, have you had an upgrade, removed a card etc
5> what you have done: what checks you have done to proove the fault
6> any printouts
7> if CCM/DNA etc, which version
8> a clear subject/thread question

some good examples:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Thread: my system wont dump
Question: hi, my bc10 system wont dump, I am getting a class 4 alarm, which says "error xxxxx yyyyy zzzz", this is the first time it has happened. I dont know any commands to check this.


another good example:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Thread: errors in system
Quetion: Hi my system keeps restarting, when I do an HIMDP, there are a lot of lost signals in LIM which refer to OLP1, here is a printout

============================================================

ok here are some bad examples:

1> thread: help me pls
2> question: my phone dont work, no display
3> Question: my phone dist and crads broke
4> Question: my telephone system keeps restarting
5> Question: how do you get a command for voicemail
6> Question: whats the reason that my call-logger doesnt work.

===========================================================

We ALL want to help you, pls help us to help you

regards

YES YES YES lancbomb

and for all thread806-898504
 
Hi all,
yes, it's reasonable.
But, to go further, we can propose a request to admin of this site to create a form, like yours, to question? Some extended version of form on for quests? Not like just a blank field. And no problem. But, of course, keeping a privacy!!!
 
HIREI,

I was actually thinking about that. But dont know how much trouble it would be.

On some other technical bulletin boards they have whats known as "stickies", that is, the first post you see at the top, is a read only thread.

It "may" be possible for a similar one here, to read (for example) Hints and Tips before posting a question.

If anyone wants to propose that to Admin, I'd be happy to write up a properly written list of question's etc
