[Guide] Greeting Templates

Hey guys & gals,

Maybe I'm getting too old or maybe it's the way I was raised, or maybe is it a new trend not to greet people? Anyhow, maybe people simply don't know or don't understand, so I thought I'd make it simple for everyone and create a template guide how to greet others on forums and also in real life.

Note that this is especially useful when you're asking for help,.. generally speaking, you will increase your chances to receive help when you are being polite (having or showing behavior that is respectful and considerate of other people).

Greetings

  • Hi
  • Hey
  • Hey man
  • Yo
  • Hello
  • Howdy!
  • Hiya
  • Sup?
  • What’s up?
  • Whazzup?
  • Greetings
  • How’s it going?
  • What’s cracking?
  • G'day
  • Good day
  • Good morning
  • Good afternoon
  • Good evening

How to use this guide

  1. Select the greeting of your choice
  2. Press the "New Discussion" button to create a new thread
  3. Type in the greeting you have chosen and press Enter key on your keyboard twice
  4. Type in your question

Feel free to add more greetings.

I thought the new standard greeting was

how to make admin dashboard?!

I've been using that everywhere! ;-)

@Snapey hah! :-) I used to spend a lot of time in Sheffield - that's taken me right back :-) I may have a bit of an accent fetish ;-)

This greeting guide is too complicated, does anyone know a composer package I can install to use this?!

I'm considering asking Jeffrey Way to check the first few characters of a new thread, if no greeting, then automatically add Hi,<br><br>
