But definitely searching for hints towards quests! :D
I've seen several threads pop up recently where people just throw out questions about specific parts of quests - and a lot of these duplicate questions that have already been asked. When you run into a problem with a quest, hold up for a few seconds before you post a new thread. Chances are good someone else has had the same problems with the same quests and as such the question has already been asked. This is where the search button up in the top right of the Forum window comes into play. Instead of clogging up the forum with multiple "I need help with quest X, number Y" threads, type the name of the quest section you're working on into the Search box and hit the button. There's probably a 99% chance that someone else has already started a thread on the same quest and one of the answers you're looking for has been hinted at already. If the question you're looking for doesn't turn up on your search, but a thread related to that section of your quest does instead, click on that thread and read through it - a hint for your answer may be buried somewhere in that discussion. If it's not hinted at, then at least you know there's a thread already dedicated to that quest line and you can raise that thread from the dead by posting your question at the end of it. Chances are good that someone will come along, notice the new post, and throw you a hint or two.
tl;dr version: Search the forum before posting a question - it'll save you time and frustration.
Searching the forum for fun and profit (well, maybe not profit)
