Please put your posts in the correct forums

We have had a large amount of off-topic posts (in the wrong forums), when there are plenty of appropriate forums for the questions being asked.

Always remember to look before you write, and make sure that you have Subscribed to the forums that are appropriate for the product(s) you have purchased or use (if a license is not required). Use the Edit Subscriptions link on the left!

I will start deleting off topic/off forum posts in the near future, so if you write a post and it isn't there when you come back, that is probably why!

Rather than a 'Submit Thread' button I'd suggest a 'Review Thread' button that, when pressed brings up a page that still gives you the option to submit but uses the GG google search engine to bring up related topics based on key words in the post.

Actually this wouldn't solve the problem of posts in the wrong forums but might stop posts that have already been asked and answered previously.

Probably a lot more work than just deleting posts.
