This forum is open to the public for viewing without preregistration. You are invited and strongly encouraged to register in order to get more actively involved (by asking questions, following-up other ones, reporting bugs, or making comments/suggestions). Because of spam concerns (yes, I would like to keep the noise level in this discussion forum to a minimum), registrations must be activated by the administrator. Following your registration, please send a message to 3dna.lu AT gmail DOT com from your registered email address and with your user ID in the subject line, following the format of Re: 3DNA forum registration -- 'user-id'. You might also want to share with us some background info about yourself and how you came to know about 3DNA and this website. After receiving your email request, I will activate your account and send you a confirmation email.
When asking questions, please be as specific as possible. I have learned through experience that having a minimal reproducible example is the most effective way for me to solve a problem. For general guidelines, please refer to "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way?" To make the 3DNA forum a more pleasant place, please be considerate and practice good netiquette. Most importantly, give, don't just take: summarize the solution to your problems from a user's prospective by providing details for the benefit of other users; answer other users' questions; share your use-cases or anything relevant to 3DNA. More enthusiastic members are essential in making the 3DNA forum more active and informative to serve as a helpful virtual community for each of us to exchange views, to learn and to help.
Bear in mind that I am supporting this 3DNA forum strictly in my spare time: do not ask for or expect to get an immediate reply from me to your question. Over the years, however, I have always striven to be responsive and concrete by getting back to users' questions as quickly as possible, often in a step-by-step recipe fashion, with follow-ups until the issue is finally resolved. Hopefully, browsing the forum will convince you that I am well up to this claim
So, welcome to the 3DNA discussion forum! Your feedback helps us kaizen (improve; 改善) 3DNA to make it serve the nucleic acid structure community better.
