where you post your question depends on what you're asking about.
if you have a question that relates to quilting, it goes into Main.
if you have a question that does not relate to quilting, and the answer will be useful and informative to a significant number of others, post it in General ChitChat.
if you need advice about a personal problem, you are permitted to post it in your Personal Diary (if you don't know what that is and/or don't have one, you'll find the explanation here:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/s-12-1.htm )
there are explanations, policies and tips posted at the top of each section of the board. it pays to read them and to check for updates. i've been here since the beginning and still refer to them often. very useful and informative. :-)
