The best way to get the most out of the forum is by contributing to the forum posts, sharing your own thoughts and knowledge. This you can do by replying to forum posts.
You can contribute by sharing your knowledge and tips to others who are "Asking For Help," and follow their threads. Remember Others are also responding to the same request for help, so think about what you may learn from them.
When you reply to a forum post you can generate feedback from others who respond to your comments. Without being aware you are brainstorming.
Even if you are not correct in a comment, you will be enlightened by others who are also commenting. Gery will be there to set it straight.
You can also benefit by posting your own questions in the forum and following the posts. If a post asks for clarification, respond promptly, those who are seeking clarification are probably holding on to something important they want to share.
Acknowledge the posts that have answered your question and let the forum know how the thread has helped you. Take time to revisit the thread.
Many forum writers open a thread and don't bother to respond or look back. This is not good.
Follow others who have influenced you in a positive way, not just the gurus.
Hope this helps.
