Hi,

I hope this is the right place to post this.

I would like to post a topic containing several (5+) short, mundane questions, which are only somewhat related, and are probably not necessarily that “important” in the whole scheme of things.

In which forum would this post best go? Should I put each question in a new post? Would it even be appropriate for this message board?

Thanks,

Mike

If they are questions which would have factual answers then they should be posted in General Questions, preferably with separate thread for each, with descriptive titles. And wait until you get answers to one thread before posting another, to save strain on the boards. If you’re not sure or if you want to lump them together, then probably IMHO or MPSIMS is the place for them.

They are not necessarily all factual. Some are “what would be best”, others “how to handle this”, that sort of thing.

Thanks. 🙂

Ah. “What would be best” and “how to handle this” type questions should go in IMHO.

For best results, **AoErat** , don’t combine a bunchof different topics in one post, if that’s what your suggesting. A separate post for each questions (unless they’re all on the same topic.)
