Writing and replying to posts

1. Things to check before you post on the forum

Check for duplicate posts. If there is already a topic open on the subject you may find your question has already been answered. Otherwise you should post a reply on the existing topic.
Don’t post duplicate posts on different forums. These will be removed by the moderator.
Use descriptive titles for new topics. Avoid generic titles such as 'Help' or 'Question'. You will receive a better response to your thread by being more descriptive about its content.
Check your post is placed in the correct topic. The moderator can move posts between topics as appropriate, and will contact you if they do this.
Make sure your post is relevant to the topic. Off topic or irrelevant posts may be moved or the moderator may lock the topic and propose a new discussion be started.

If you are not sure about submitting a post read through the forum terms and conditions. The forum moderator can also help; you can contact them by email at forum@parkinsons.org.uk
