Creating Solar activity topics

[Vancanneyt Sander]

To keep the solar activity forum a bit more clear and more easily to track discussions on sunspot regions we have a few tips:

• Only make a topic if there is no ongoing discussion about an active region
• If there is not yet a topic about a sunspot region, go ahead and start a topic about the region
• When you want to post about a solar flare, ongoing activity, CME, spot evolution ... please post it in the topic of the sunspot region

Topics about the same sunspot region will be merged by the moderators.

Now with the increase in solar activity and the following increase in posts on this forum, I would like to remind everyone of these guidelines so we can keep the forums tidy and organized. Thank you for your cooperation and enjoy the ongoing discussions!

Addition to this: please do not title topics for an AR with what it was called last rotation, if applicable. It makes it really hard to find the topic for a spot on the sun when you forgot which old spot it was weeks ago. 

If the AR is not on the Earthside or doesn’t have a designation yet, you can use the old number, but once it gets a new official designation please change it to that. You can do so by editing your first post if you were the person who started the thread, or ask a moderator to do it. 

Thanks!
