Best way to get help from the forum

What is the best place or way to post questions to get feedback from the forum members?

Probably right here in this forum or if you are new to the game, you can use this one:

OOTP 16 - New to the Game? - OOTP Developments Forums

Another option if you have a question is to search the forums, someone may have already asked your question so you might be able to find the answer without having to wait for someone to reply.

My advice is:
1. Ask one or two specific questions per post.
2. Be polite.
3. Provide examples or data to help explain your question.

If you are questioning results or game mechanics, be sure you have a reasonable sample size on which to base your conclusions or suspicions.

As you gain experience, you may want to "specialize" your requests by forum, like Mods and its many sub-forums, or online leagues and historical simulations if you are into either of those.

One other thing I can recommend is to use Advance Search, a drop-down menu item from Search. You can find much information from old threads without having to even ask and wait for responses. Just limit your search to OOTPB, either the most recent version or the one you are currently using, else you will get too wide an array of "hits."
