This might be lightly off topic but every time the OP posts a thread it makes me cringe at his etiquette.
1. People view all caps as shouting. It is not a good idea even if you want to grab people's attention as it comes of a little too harsh and annoying.
2. As for superfluous punctionation in your thread title (i.e. !!!!! or ???? or !?!?!???!??!111one!?!) it's probably best to just not. One punction mark will do as the above example can be annoying for the same reasons all caps can be annoyhing.
3. Try to be specific when posting a problem. Ambiguous titles (especially on more crowded message boards) are likely to get you ignored. Stating your question succinctly in the title will probably get people's attention more than all caps.
4. Make sure that your question hasn't been covered in a recent thread. Not really an issue the OP seems to have trouble with but some do. There is an FAQ for a reason, and it's a good idea to check the various forum stickies before making your inaugural post in a given forum.
5. Use of leetspeak, lack of capitalization and punctuation, and franticly typed rants will only get on people's nerves. They will also get you ignored as it is often difficult for people to read what you write, which in turn might cause them to not want to go through the trouble of responding to you.
6. If you have a tendency to be long winded or have a long story to tell make sure to avoid the dreaded walloftext. Separating your text into short paragraphs will make it much more readable and will make people happier to help you. Having a walloftext with all of the problems of #5 will probably get you ignored outright, or at best flamed.
7. If you are still reading this perhaps you are more steadfast than others. Try to keep your posts short when possible. People quickly tire of longwinded posters. This is probably my biggest faux pas in posting. When possible, try to avoid it.
There are other unspoken (and spoken) rules about etiquette for places like message boards but these were the ones that came to mind just now. Happy posting ^^
