Apologies, RudiC. There's no intention of argument on my part nor to give offense. However, your comment is a disservice to the people coming here.
It is OK to change things even if you do not know what you are doing, it is OK to experiment and come back asking why it is not working. Please, try things and if it is broken ask why it is broken. Do not accept the suggestions as written in stone rules. They are not! Convince yourself that that's what you want and learn from it.
However, when you ask for help, please, give motivation to the person helping you by explaining what you did, tried or it is not working and do not just say it doesn't work (or the effect of it). Give some incentive to the people helping you to continue to do so.
