Updated FAQ: Guidelines and how to ask questions

This forum was archived to /woltlab and is now in read-only mode.

    Hi,


    I've created a new page and menu entry for our general FAQ. Please read it carefully and follow the guidelines for continued use of this platform.


    https://monitoring-portal.org/cms/index.php?faq/


    New registrations will mention this in the disclaimer too.


    My general idea is to guide new users (how to ask a question) but also tell about certain (unwanted) behaviour. This should hopefully help everyone to get a quick discussion and solutions going.

    This obsoletes the old "how to ask a question" thread.


    You can leave your feedback here and discuss additions and/or changes too.


    Kind regards,

    Michael

    Remember to NEVER EVER use git repositories in a productive environment if you CAN NOT control them

    If one maintains a compiled list, sure. URLs tend to become outdated, that's what I want to avoid.


    FAQ is a static HTML page writable by admins only. Two choices a) you join the admin team b) we have a maintained post somewhere for that which is linked in the FAQ, and anyone who wants write access, becomes a moderator.

    Wow, looks great.


    Maybe one little addition to the chapter "Configuration and steps to reproduce or understand the question":

    Keep your private information (passwords, hashes, secrets, etc.) private.
