« on: September 23, 2014, 08:40:50 AM »
General Forum Rules
  • Only one account per person is allowed.
  • Posts are to be made in the relevant forum category. Users are asked to read the forum descriptions before posting.
  • Members are asked to be respectful to all other users at all times. Flaming or insulting users in any form in the forum, private messages or emails will not be tolerated.

  • If you refer to AbanteCart product or project in the post, use one word “AbanteCart” without any abbreviation or spaces. 
  • Do not duplicate questions with new post. Use the global search feature for answers to your questions prior to posting.
    Make sure you have read the parent article/post completely before posting a reply.
  • Choose an appropriate subject line. Summarise the problem briefly in the subject, and elaborate in the message itself. Do not use all caps and do not add false information just to get attention. An example of a bad subject would be "HELP ME". A good subject might be, "Error while updating product". Do not use a URL as a thread title.
