Which folder should I ask my question in?

It's important to ask your questions in the correct folders.  This is 
important for two reasons.

Folders are arranged in a logical hierarchy.  Questions within those 
folders need to be appropriate for the folders otherwise it destroys the 
whole logic behind the folder structure.

If you ask a question in a folder that isn't relevant it might not get 
answered, and even if it does get answered the answer won't be as useful 
for people as it will potentially be impossible to find unless using the 
search capabilities of faqts.  For those people that like to browse the 
folders to gain knowledge and not specifically search particular answers 
your question is non existent.

So, when asking a question try and place it in the folder that 
fits the question topic most appropriately.  If there are no relevant 
folders create one.

If you believe your question relates to more than one folder it is 
possible to ask more than one question that share the same answer.  
Check out the Questions folder of the Help Knowledge base to find out 
how this works.
