...ba-bump bump.  Feb 28 07 09:19 am Link Leo C.
I'm surprised by you threatening me like you did. That was immature and childish of you. But, hey, you and I are intitled of our opinions. That's all it is, OPINIONS. The instructions given should have been done elsewhere. They make sense, common sense that is. I find this site informative, not only in words, but, by what people like you post for people like myself who is experienced in wildlife/landscape photography/25 years and is looking to move on over to another areas in photography. So yes, I'm very much interested in what people have to say etc. No, I'm not all interested in other forums. I think this part of the forum is a good start to say, CHEERS. Anyhow, friends or not, I find your work informative, so, thanks and keep up the good work. I still believe, newbie or not, we ALL have a right to say something, stupid or not, who cares.

Mar 06 07 01:22 pm Link What am I? Cuz I like bunnies and am deathly afraid of squirrels/chipmunks. Mar 06 07 01:52 pm Link Very good advice..... however if taken ... we loose all the fun  Mar 06 07 05:10 pm Link Thank you. I find your words of advice very helpful. Mar 07 07 10:51 pm Link I think this thread is a brilliant idea - kudos to the OP for taking the time to create this. A couple more ideas:
Read an entire thread before posting a reply. There is a very good chance something has been clarified, has become a dead issue, or the OP may have possibly even been banned somewhere in the thread, and if you post a reply before reading through the thread your posting may be already a moot point by the time it is read. Don't welcome every single new member who posts in the newbie Forum. It comes across as a desperate need for attention, or, at the very least, just a ploy to build your posting number to look important. Mar 14 07 10:51 am Link Thank you Greg, for your contribution.
Here's an example of what NOT to post in the forum: https://modelmayhem.com/posts.php?thread_id=131368 The result is angry bunny-mod stumping on you. It's way worse than having wolves tear you apart. While you have the freedom to choosing who to work with, it is unwise to insult the ones you don't want to work with. Respect what other people do, and they'll be more likely to respect yours.

Mar 15 07 01:04 pm Link Wow, I wish I had seen this thread when I first joined. I learned the hard way. Newbies should definitely take the time to read this and use it. Mar 16 07 10:50 am Link People need to let newbies know that this is must read, just like newmodels.com Mar 22 07 01:49 pm Link This might be a good thread to include information for maximizing search results in the forum. What I mean to say is that what kinds of searches can be done and how can they be narrowed?
I ask because I was looking for a way to seach out forum posts where I had contributed when I stumbled upon this. You stress the importance of making searches (before starting a new thread), but there is no advice included on how to make effective searches. Of course if anyone can tell me how to locate only those posts to which I have contributed I'd be happy to hear even if that information does not find its way into the very useful tutorial above.

Mar 28 07 01:07 am Link James, you can't search threads by anything except title. So if there is a thread you really want to keep track of, add it to your favorites list. The best way to search the forums is to think of keywords and type them in. It's not an exact science, but it's not rocket science either.

Mar 28 07 10:18 am Link CLT, thanks for this guide and for the link to that one thread, it was informative and entertaining.

Mar 29 07 04:47 am Link Great advice. I've been around MM for a while, and even though I don't post much, I do read the forums a lot. If everyone could follow these rules, the poor mods would be incredibly bored!
Good work! Mar 29 07 05:00 am Link I'm not sure if this qualifies as a true tip or is just a pet peeve of mine...
Make the title of your introductory post in the Newbie Forum an informative one. There are oodles of posts there each day and I am more likely to read one titled "New female model in Maryland" than one titled "Hi, I'm new here!" Mar 29 07 09:43 am Link Dogbone Alt-Process wrote: It's a good tip. Including the location in the thread title will draw more attention than a generic one. If you're introducing yourself, you want to somehow attract the attention of other talents in your area. If I see 10 new newbie posts and one of them says "Virginia" in the title, guess which one I would click on first? Mar 29 07 11:02 am Link This is a good thread Very informative. Thank you for starting it. Definitely doing much reading before posting anywhere about anything Mar 30 07 09:56 am Link Dogbone Alt-Process wrote: Absolutely.
