I'm going to add to this too:

Do not type like you're texting to your friends. I don't want to see stuff like "ur" and all the other stupid stuff that 12 year olds type because they're too lazy.

If someone is going to take the time to help you with your technical problem, please respect them by taking the time to type out what you're trying to say in complete sentences.

I will personally admit to skipping over threads because I can't/won't decipher entire sentences full of truncated words with 3 letters. I'm sure I'm not the only person who does this, so why narrow your audience....?
