Forum Etiquette
Please do not post in CAPITALS, it causes problems for members who use text to speech software. 

Please do not add your questions to someone else's topic. Even though their question may seem similar their circumstances may be different and therefore require different advice. 

Please try and keep all of your questions in one topic, this helps the Moderators to refer back to the advice already given and also helps us to prevent duplicate replies.
