Step 01
A person reads it
Nothing is published by asking. Your question waits until somebody here has read it and written an answer.
Ask a question
We answer in public, so the answer is there for the next person. Write it the way you would say it out loud.
What happens next
Where your question goes
Step 02
We answer in public
The question and its answer go on the forum with the day they were written. Your name is shown only if you gave one.
Step 03
Your email is removed
If you left an address for a reply, it is deleted in the same moment the question is published. A published question cannot hold it.
