Simple Section Rules:

1. Before you start a new help request, check the list below for related topics and use an existing thread if possible.

2. We allow help requests on topics related to our forum, such as posting/moderation problems, up- and download problems, questions about decoding/encoding, creating of movies or images (...).
Don't use this section for content requests, movie- or model id information and don't use this section for section related reports like removed posts, dead links etc (see list of important threads / section report).

3. Don't post downloads (or serials) of cracked commercial software in Useful Programs thread. Also don't ask for software downloads which aren't available as freeware or trial version.

4. If you have actual problems with a file hoster, please wait at least one day before you report it here. It's not unusual that a file hoster has temporary performance issues due to server maintenance work.

5. Don't post simple comments how you like or don't like something if you aren't able to describe it within a reasoned answer. Such comments aren't helpful for anyone.

6. Use Tutorials subforum only to start a new software guide or to contribute / ask about an existing tutorial (use the specific thread for this issue). If you create a tutorial and like to add explaining screenshots, you can use bigger thumbnails/images than in the rest of our forum.



List of important threads / Help collections:

Please use one of those threads if your question is related to such a topic. It's not unusual that your question is already answered in these threads, so please take the time to read them (the "search this thread" function is your friend to find fitting answers quick).
