Title: Q: Difference between 'problems' and 'need advice'
Post by SteveR on Mar 7^th, 2007, 10:45am

Is there a difference between the 2 forums? I don't understand why you would post up a problem you have if you didn't want any advice going... so what is 'problems' for?

Sorry, I'm new. :)

Well.. the 'problems' section is used when you have a problem, like an engine breakdown, waterleak, lights not working, etc.
'give/need advice' is used either when you find out something useful that you want to tell others about, like how to easily remove the electric roof, etc. or when you need advice on how to do something, like removing the electric roof.

My interpretation of the difference would be this:

A problem is where you have a fairly good idea of what's wrong, but aren't quite sure how to fix it.
Imagine it as "Scratching your head". ???

Need advice would be a more advanced level where you can't fathom out what the problem is, or the causes/s of it, and need the help of the excellent advice available from other members and the website. Or if you've discovered an easy way to fix something which you'd like to share with other members.

Imagine this as "Now getting fed up, and you've just kicked next doors cat". :o

Welcome to the site anyway. :D
