Folks,

Is it ok to post a question to Math Helpforum if the question is not answered here?

I have consulted with moderators at MHF and it was advised if a question is to be posted to both, it is necessary to provide a link on both forums to ensure that the question can easily be followed and therefore helpers are not wasting their time.

Can the same approach be applied here?

Thanks

It's a free world my friend :) You don't need our permission to use another site :) No linking necessary. Pretty sure you'll get answers here though.
