Useful tips to write a good question

Do your homework

Have you thoroughly searched for an answer before asking your question? Sharing your research helps everyone. Tell us what you found and why it didn’t meet your needs. This demonstrates that you’ve taken the time to try to help yourself, it saves us from reiterating obvious answers, and most of all it helps you get a more specific and relevant answer!


Be specific

If you ask a vague question, you’ll get a vague answer. But if you give us details and context, we can provide a useful answer.


Make it relevant to others

The community to help as many people at a time as we can. Make it clear how your question is relevant to more people than just you, and more of us will be interested in your question and willing to look into it.


Be on-topic


Keep an open mind

The answer to your question may not always be the one you wanted, but that doesn’t mean it is wrong. A conclusive answer isn’t always possible. When in doubt, ask people to cite their sources, or to explain how/where they learned something. Even if we don’t agree with you, or tell you exactly what you wanted to hear, remember – we’re just trying to help.

These tips are not from me, I just copied them from a site. So many people write useless threads and I feel sick about it. Please, do us a favor and post something relevant.

I'm not sure if I am allowed to post an outside link which refers to a programmers forum.
