Here are some tips on effectively asking for help:
1) Please use meaninful post title. Things like "Please Help" or "Getting Error" aren't usefull. Titles like "Error when executing reader" or "Need help with using arrays" are better. Also adding exclamations point to the title doesn't make it any more importaint than another post and only adds to the clutter.
2) I realize that English isn't some people first language, and that's OK. Be sure to describe your problem as clearly and concisely as possible. Please try to not use l33t spelling, it just makes it harder to read.
3) Post that contain code dumps with "I get an error, please help" aren't usefull either. Describe the problem, point out where the error happens, provide the relevant code, and note what version you are using. If at all possible, attach a screen shot of the error message. When people simply note "I get an error" with out describing what the error is or where it happens, is akin to going to the doctor's and telling him "I hurt".
4) Be polite. Thank people for their efforts.
5) If you manage to find the solution on your own, don't post back with "Never mind, I fixed it, thanks." Help the next person comming along and also include the solution you found.
6) Be sure to search the forums first, before you post your problem. If at first you don't find something, try changin up the search words a little. Sometimes a change in terminology makes all the difference.
