Soliciting input regarding getting some posting instructions added above the forum listings...

[Adam Cameron.]

(grumble... second third time trying to post this... stupid forums croaked on me...)

G'day

I just posted a thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2679771) over on the "Comments" forum to this effect:

Is there any way we can get a sticky added to each of the ColdFusion forums, suggesting the following resources are a good place to start before posting questions:

• CF8 online docs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Part_3_CFML_Re f_1.html
• CF9 online docs: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/CFMLRef/index.html
• Search the forums before posting for people having had the same problem previously
  
• Search Google before posting for people having had the same problem previously
• Read this: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I spend a bit of my spare time answering people's questions there (and am obviously happy to do so), but really a lot of the questions are pretty naive, and the user could help themselves by taking the above steps before asking.

Even the newest of newbies who can't be expected to know much at all (which is fine!) can help themselves by having a look-see first.  And I always figure it's better for people to try to DIY, rather than show up with a spoon, wanting to be fed.

?

Jochem's suggested I solicit input from interested parties over here, before we run with anything.

So if you've got an opinion... pls weigh in (on the other thread, not this one).

Cheers.

To make sure everybody who wants to offer his input does so in the other thread, I am locking this one.
