How do I ask a question?

[Bad_i_BILL]

I am at VB.com & ask a question.

I am told to ask over here.

I post it here & I get slapped with some infraction BS.

I try replying to the PM to seek help so I do not make the same mistake again, I am unable to reply to the PM.

As I consider weather or not it is worth all this BS. Now I have no idea how or where to ask what I need to know before I purchase.

Since you are unlicensed, you only have limited access to the forums.

Once you have purchased a license you will be able to post in our Paid Requests forum.

Offering paid work in the Pre-Sales section or for members who are not licensed is not allowed.

He has been a member since 04 too.... you would think it would be clear after 5 years lol

Maybe this new Piracy reports thing is working finally... lol

Rather than just say that, I get a BS violation?

The other STUPID part is that my question here is to help me determine if I want to purchase the license or not.

The longer you guys are at this the more anal it is becoming.

Well, what is your question(s)?

[Linux123]

WHat questions was you asking?

[Lynne]

What is the question you have? The only thing we don't want you to do, is to start advertising your forum or anything like that - we don't allow advertising on here. So, just a straightforward question is fine.

I had asked about a skin theme & about advertiser/sponsors per forum.

I was PM'ed a violation that will never come off my record, I am reluctant to ask the questions a second time.

Funniest thing my same post is at vb.com where they said ask it here.

If you want a skin, you can either download one from here in the Styles forums, or there are several sites out there that make either free or paid skins. A simple google search on "vbulletin style" will get you many links.

You may add advertisers to your forum. I would imagine you may need some custom code if you have a specific way you want it done. You can ask in the Paid Requests forum for help with that after you have a license (non-license owners may not post in that forum).
