How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.
We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.

If you are new to Landsurveyorsunited.com (LSU) then you are in for a treat. LSU is filled with content covering just about ever aspect of Land Surveying. You will find Land Surveyors from all over the world waiting to help you with any questions you may have. My favorite place to visit is the photograph archives. You can see Land Surveyors from all over the world in action.
Surveyor Guy,
Some of the best advice I can give you is to use the "Add a Discussion" function in groups rather than just leaving a comment. It's at the bottom of the current group discussions:
What also helps to get your questions answered is to add a photo to your discussion and name it something appropriate and tag it so that search engines can find it. There may be others outside the network that have good information to share.
I hope that helps.

Great question Surveyor Guy! I'll let the other surveyors guide you more, but here are a couple of links you should definitely check out. 20+ Conversation starters and the Getting Started Guide. I look forward to your contributions...i'll now hand it over to everyone else.
