Some on-line sites have standard forms that users must fill out (checkboxes for what version you're using, what function you're using, edit box to paste code example, etc.) I realize that format doesn't always work and can be annoying. But people who post questions should realize that because .NET is so big, the more details they provide up front, the sooner they might get a decent response. (And some are very good at this).

It's the same thing in the VFP forum. As I said the other time, if we add additional options when creating a message, some members will simply go away or not post at all because of too many fields they have to fill. Members, when in need of an answer, are always in a rush. They want the thing to be saved as soon as possible. They also prefer to have free format, in one textarea field, such as we have, to detail in their own ways their situation.
