Get a feel for the particular forum (different forums on a site can have different moods).  Lurk for a bit and see what others are posting. Look at the rules (if you forget them, there's a link ...

Let's go back in time, and ask film users if they tried shooting older photographic techniques like Daguerreotype, Silver Gelatin, or any glass plate photography where you have to prepare the ...

And I AM ONE OF THEM, started almost 45 years ago now! HOWEVER, if I was asking a film related question today, I would want to go where there are people who CURRENTLY use film and are knowledgeable ...

For instance on the Open Forum it states in the forum description: "Welcome to the Open Talk Forum, the place for threads related to digital photography. Threads unrelated to digital photography are ...

Especially if you are in North America, insurance companies count claims (even if they don't pay out) as strikes...if you get two strikes many will discontinue covering you (they say they don't, ...

Maybe not in interviews (unless it is specifically about equipment), but when choosing equipment a pro would certainly scrutinize the equipment before buying (if they are serious about their images). ...

Actually, during the TV coverage of the F1 race yesterday a LOT of discussion was made about one team that chose softer tires than everyone else.

Because I don't share my images on DPR, doesn't mean I don't have an online gallery...although only invited guests are allowed in. FYI, I am a trained CAPA photo judge.
