Community Basics
How does the Community work?
The Community is a place for community members or participants to search for information, read and post topics of interest, and learn from each other. You should find:
- Searches where you can find previous asked questions and solutions.
- Boards where you can post questions and solutions.
- Idea exchanges where you can suggest ways improve products and vote for ideas that other community members have posted.
- Blogs where you can read and comment on articles
> Guests (unregistered visitors) can browse or search the community for information.
> Community members (registered users) benefit by posting messages or offering comments, tracking discussions, and subscribe email notifications on posting activity and other community actions.
What is my role in the community?
You are part of community just by reading messages or articles that someone else has posted. The Community offers all kinds of contributions: posting questions and sharing answers, leaving comments on blog articles or ideas, voting for ideas you like, or just searching for answers to your questions.
We want you to find what you are looking for and to do that, we encourage you to visit often and participate. Ask your toughest questions. Chances are someone has a solution or can point you in the right direction. If you find a solution that works, let others know and pass on your own tips and insights. You might just have the answer someone else needs. You might discovery something we don’t know about and we can help look for a solution for you and your peers.
Offer your thanks community members who have helped you. Show your appreciation by giving kudos to helpful posts, accepting a solution that answers your question, or posting thank-you replies.
What is my responsibility in the community?
We want the community to be appropriate, friendly, engaging, informative, and fun for everyone.
Be sure to read the Community Terms of Service and the community's Guidelines and Rules so that you know what to expect and what is expected of you when you are here.
How do I alert a moderator of inappropriate content posted on the community?
While you are browsing the community, you can alert a moderator of inappropriate content easily as you see it. Sending in a report of a post that violates the community guidelines is very helpful to the moderation team as it quickly identifies community violations and directly notifies a moderator. To send a report of inappropriate content, select "Report inappropriate Content" on the bottom-left of a post.
