On-Topic: discussion of all things FTM

Off-Topic: discussions of anything else

The topicality of a THREAD is determined by the *originating* post. All replies must directly relate back to that post or the post to which the reply is made.

Example:
Original post: How to do XYZ in FTM.
Replies 1, 2 and 3: FTM does not have this capability.
Reply 4: Another (named) program has that capability.

Originating post is on-topic. All replies are on-topic, provided none violate Community Guidelines. While Reply 4 is not about FTM, it is directly related to the original post.
