    I'm hoping to start a discussion on a group of topics that are inter-related to my project and I was wondering what kind of rules/guidelines there were regarding this.

    In my case, the project includes classes derived from CWnd, when CWnd gets a CDC, having these CWnds draw themselves using Direct2D, and Scrolling support.

    Obviously, that is a boatload of topics. I know that when I ask a question, I have to keep it narrow and specific. Do similar rules apply for discussions - meaning I run the risk of violating these rules when incorporating these topics in a discussion. If so how can I best mitigate this?

    That's how it works. Each question or point deserves a separate thread but I would not necessarily reference another thread since most would loose interest and not bother to browse to and read it.

    Yes, you're correct in that you should keep it more on the specific side otherwise a moderator will throw it to OffTopic forum. Here are a few that may work for you.

    Okay, would it be acceptable to have one discussion "[Discussion on topic]" introduce one question and then, once I get some replies, start a new discussion "[Discussion on topic]: part 2" that references the first discussion and ask a second question that builds off of the responses to the first?
