Welcome to the forum. I've never used answers.yahoo but I can guarantee you that for science questions, you will find this site to be an improvement over EVERYTHINGsojsail said:
Hm. Can you do a screen shot of it? I can't seem to locate what you mean. Each response box has "post reply", "preview", and "upload" but it doesn't sound like that's what you mean. If it is, that's just the way to upload a pic or a vid.sojsail said:
When asking for help on the Physics Forums, it is important to be clear and concise in your question. Start by providing a brief background or context for your problem, and then clearly state the specific issue or question you need help with. Avoid using technical jargon or assuming prior knowledge from the readers. Additionally, including any relevant equations or diagrams can greatly improve the clarity of your question.
It is generally recommended to post your question in a specific sub-forum that aligns with the topic of your question. This will ensure that your question is seen by members who have expertise in that particular area. However, if your question covers multiple topics or does not fit into a specific sub-forum, then posting in the general Physics forum is also acceptable.
The level of detail in your question should be enough for others to understand the problem and provide a helpful response. This may include relevant equations, diagrams, and any steps you have already taken to solve the problem. However, avoid including excessive information that is not directly related to your question, as it may make it more difficult for others to understand and provide a solution.
While it is not possible to request specific members to answer your question, you can tag specific members in your post if you believe they may be able to provide helpful insights. However, it is important to keep in mind that all members on the Physics Forums are volunteers and may not always be available to answer your question.
To increase the chances of receiving a helpful response, it is important to be polite and respectful in your interactions with other members. Make sure to thank anyone who takes the time to respond to your question, and consider providing updates or clarifications if requested. It is also helpful to have a positive attitude and be open to different perspectives and approaches to solving your problem.
