Dear members,

since we had to edit some posts in the last weeks; I'd like to kindly remember you to our forum rule no. 1:

1. Users have to write in proper English:
As an international forum English is not everybody´s motherlanguage but especially for these people it must be easy to read.
- no accentuated or localised English
- use proper punctuation, capitalize words and sentences
- no unusual short forms like sms-abbreviations
(well known abbreviations like DIY for “Do It Yourself” or CRS for “Crystal Red Shrimp” are allowed).

We want to make sure that all our users can participate in the discussion and therefore it is necessary to use English only (if possible in proper interpunctation and regular spelling of words). Nobody is perfect and there is no problem as long as others can understand you. Using other languages is disrespectful to other forum members; so please do not use German, Russian, Vietnamese or other mother tongues. Thank you and happy posting to all :)
