*The Forum Rules.

Yep, rules. Read 'em. Abide by 'em. Or your sea creature powers may be revoked. Temporarily, or for good.

1. New to the lounge? Get started here. Learn which category to post your note in, and create a forum signature.
2. Spam: just don't do it. Thou also shalt not fill the forums with multiple threads on the same topic or sockpuppet.
3. Thou shalt not flame, harass, denigrate, spam, malign, or otherwise finger-point and name-call at ANYONE. This one's a biggy. This too can get you banned.
4. Squidstaff love interacting with smart front-line people, so they stop by the forums from time to time to hear your ideas and share updates. However, this isn't the place to post bugs or solicit admin action. Please send those requests through our feedback link.
5. The SquidU forum is a place for users to interact, to share ideas and inspiration (and yes, gripes... maybe another lensmaster can help) and have fun with their lenses. Try searching for an answer or visiting The Answer Deck.

Get one-on-one help ... and ... answers to frequently asked questions!

Welcome to the Help, Please forum! 

The best way to ask for help in these forums is to make the subject of your request clear. 

For example:
"I’m having trouble with Amazon recommendations"
"I need help on uploading images"
"I need some advice on tags"

This will attract the right help from people who can answer your question.  Threads with specific titles get more attention than those with titles like, "critique me" and "i need help."
