I want to ask a good question on Fixya, but I am not sure how to optimize my question asking?
1 - First, choose your forum carefully. Don't ask about the best type of flea collar for your pet in a Dell tech support forum. Making sure you're in the right place increases the chances your question will be read and answered.
2 - Be specific about what you want to know. Saying "How do I fix my computer" is far too general. Asking "What should I do when my computer won't read DVDs?" is specific.
3 - Include the details! Tell us what make/model/etc of device you have, and whether its had any past problems, upgrades, etc. Sometimes this is related. If you're not sure whether a particular detail is relevant or not, include it anyway.
There are more, but if you remember these three simple things you should be well on your way to posting good messages and getting good replies.

Once you add a product by choosing it from the drop down list, you will be able to view all questions regarding this product. You will also be able to follow up on your own questions.
Adding your products is entirely optional, if you do not wish to do so you may skip this part.
If you can't find your product on the list, please post your problem using the Ask box on the top of the page and follow the on screen instructions.
When you are asked to categorize your question and choose a product, please choose the closest category (if you can't find a specific product).
For example: If you have a 123xyz Samsung refrigerator but you can't find this specific model in the drop down list, please choose Samsung Refrigerators.
Your question will still be visible to all the relevant experts.
Please make sure that you add as many details to your question and include the model & brand. The more details, the easier it will be for the expert to assist and this is highly important regarding questions under a general category.

Legal characters are characters which are accepted when posting on the Fixya website. If you are receiving an error about illegal characters it means you are using characters found on the keyboard (such as symbols) that Fixya does not accept. This can sometimes be caused when copy/pasting from word processing software which can insert incorrect commas, apostrophes, or even hidden characters.
Make sure to type your question directly into the box and make sure to try and avoid strange symbols or characters.
