Rules for our Forum
There are a few basic 'rules' for our forum.
Please follow these:
Do not advertise any products or pages in either your posts or signatures!
Any attempt to advertise ao inserting spam in own posts or answers to posts from others, will get you banned from forum!
Advertising in your signature is also forbidden, and you will be banned!

Please do not reply to very old topics. Most of these old topics are either not relevant anymore, or the OP will never see it. Grave-digging is almost always not a good idea.

It is also preferred that you open a new topic for every new question! So please to not make bundled topics.

Do not act hostile against anyone :) If you think someone does something wrong, please report it, do not do anything on your own.
Please never ever post a reply to someone that spams the forum, just use the report-button, and we will take care of the spammer.

Do not post political statement in your signature, and do not use political a.o ideology promoting symbols or emblems as your avatar. LMMS-forum is not a place for that.

All kind of derogatory content, is of cause forbidden! So is links to any of that kind, both in posts, and in signatures.

Signatures
You are allowed to use images in your signature, but keep them moderate in size. At max 300*300 px.
Any and all links for anything that is not music or music production related is prohibited!
Profiles with advertising in signatures are deleted without warning!

If you have any questions or problems, also about participating, just use this forum!

Finally we will just explain a couple of the things that most often is asked, by our new users:

How to make a new thread.
First open the Forums section, and find the sub-forum that suits your topic the best, if you are in doubt, just use General
Please never post in Announcements1 That forum is for information about new releases, our yearly competition BOL and other of the same kind :)
Here is how the general forum-page look like. The enhanced button opens your new thread
Image

How to insert pictures in the posts.
You need to upload the picture to either your own homepage, or to one of the imagehost-services like imgur
When you have done that, you copy the address of the image to your clipboard, and here in forum you insert a image-tag

That is the 9. button from left!
Paste the clipboard content between the tags

Code: Select all

[img]http://imgur.com/YourImage.png[/img]
That will insert the image in your post.

How to properly link to external demos
Quite often people asks about a specific sound or instrument on-line. I would estimate that ~80% of these request are without the necessary infomation :p
When you ask these kind of questions, please..
Do insert a timestamp!
So like
In https://www.youtube.com/enhance?feature ... HXtFHFOmBA How to make the short sound @ 2:26
Then you wont have to re-post that later :P

Using private messages
Lets finish with how you can communicate with friends!
For that, the board has an Private-Messenger PM function.
Please do not send PMs to MODs unless we ask you too, or as answers to PMs we send to you.

To use PM:
* Click on the recipients name
That opens the profile for that person
Just under the persons profile-image, you will see "Contact >user<"
-and under there "Send Private Message"
Click on that, and write your message.
You can add more recipients, so you can send a group-message.

If you like to introduce yourself, to the community, we have a special thread for that:

With all that : Welcome!
