Your Questions answered viewforum.php?f=42
Welcome to the “Scrolltabletforum.” There are more than 2,800 members on this forum and it is growing every day providing a wealth of information to help you learn to grow in confidence and answer your questions. Sometimes it is difficult to find the specific help and advice you are looking for until you know where to ask your questions and where to look on this forum for the answers. It is much easier if you know what the forum rules are as if you don’t abide by them, at best you won’t get the help you seek and at worst you may be banned, so if you haven’t read the rules yet please do so now, they are here: viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1454
If you have never been a forum member before you really do need to learn about the forum etiquette which not only makes it easier for you and for others but also helps avoid the risk of upsetting other forum members by inadvertently making it difficult for them because you might Hi-jack a Thread.
What does Hi-jacking a thread mean?
When you explore the Forum you will see many differently headed subjects. When you click on a subject it will access the member’s posts relating to that subject. The Opening Post is usually made by the Topic creator and members should only make further posts which are relevant to the Opening Post. The primary subjects are called Topics and indicate what the posts are about, and the posts within the primary subject are called threads, which are posts that relate to the topic. If you make an unrelated post inside the (wrong) topic and others respond to this, that thread soon becomes confused and difficult to follow. This is called Hi-jacking the thread which is seen as bad practice and if you repeatedly cause this you may receive a warning from one of the Moderators.
What is a moderator?
A moderator (often shortened to mod) is a member of the forum who voluntarily gives their time in maintaining the flow of topics by editing or deleting unrelated posts and generally keeping an eye on things to help keep the forum running smoothly. A moderator has the authority to edit or if necessary delete a members post and in extreme cases to ban a member either temporarily or permanently if that member persistently ignores the forum rules. A moderator can also be a developer.
What is a developer?
A developer (often shortened to dev) is a member of the forum who voluntarily gives their time in creating and modifying a range of mobile operating system images and software applications so that members are able to safely modify their mobile devices in the knowledge that help is at hand should they get into trouble.
How to post on the forum for the very first time.
Before you make a post for the very first time it is important that you use the search engine which is highlighted within a red-bordered rectangle in the top right-hand corner of the page to search for a topic relating to your post. You should always ensure that you give sufficient and accurate information in your post to be certain that readers will understand exactly what you are talking about. A post which says “My tablet doesn’t work can you help.” Will not generate much of a response, whereas: “My Scroll Excel A10 allwinner tablet won’t play video’s anymore.” Is much more helpful and readers will be greatly more informed when making their answer.
If you can’t find a topic which suits your post straight away then try looking at the Board Index which is found in the top left-hand corner of the page just beneath the blue tabulated bar. Clicking Board Index will show you an overview of all the categories available. Clicking on a category will show all the topics within the category and clicking on the topic will access all the posts within that topic.
Starting a new Topic.
You should only ever consider starting a new topic after you have thoroughly searched the forum to make sure that nothing already exists on the subject you wish to discuss. You may create a new topic only within the categories available from the Board Index
New Member Introductions.
There is a section for new members to say hello which can be found here: viewforum.php?f=20 please do make a post here to introduce yourself to the Forum but please do not post any requests for help here as they will be ignored by most members.
