About the Newbie category

What to ask:

If you don’t know whether your question is appropriate then post it here!

Our community has more novice than experienced users, so don’t be afraid to ask anything. Bonus points for checking (using search) that your question isn’t answered elsewhere yet.

Auto-discarded by request:

If you want, your topic can be hidden once it’s answered, so your questions don’t leave visible traces. On the other hand we might suggest to move a topic to a non-newbies category if we find it too good to hide away.

How to ask good questions:

Let us know what you did, what you expected, and what happened. Tell us what your operating system is, which version, and where you got ROOT from. Quote the error message you see. Surround code by triple backticks:

```
some code
```

Now please just hit “New Topic” and we will happily help!
