This forum is a nice little group in which to discuss n-Track. It's not as busy or annoying as some other places, and it's pretty newbie friendly. Plus, most of us are very honest about our dealings with n-Track - we understand the good and the bad.
However, I have a little bit of advice if you've got a problem and want to wrap it up as quickly as possible:
1) First, realize that it's called n-Track, and not n-Tracks or ntracks. That way people won't have to start every dicussion telling you the correct name of the software, and you won't in turn react by sarcastically telling them to "excuuuuuse me!" Think of it as a time-saver
2) Determine whether your problem is really an n-Track problem. Lots of people come to this group with questions like, "I can't record anything!", which may or may not be n-Track's fault. If you're not sure where the problem is, try posting it in the Computer Recording and Soundcards forum (just a few forums down from here!). Use the n-Track forum only for n-Track questions!
3) If you're just not getting the help you want here, and you really need an answer, try posting your question on the discussion board at http://www.fasoft.com (where you downloaded n-Track, duh). You'll hit a larger n-Track audience, which may or may not be beneficial. Some people might think it a little odd that I'd send people off to another site, and others may think it silly to have more than one site about n-Track. Personally, I think it's all about atmosphere. If this is where you're most comfortable posting, then by all means post here first....but if your answers aren't here, don't be afraid to seek them elsewhere...just remember to come back. Homerecording.com is a LOT more than just an n-Track forum!
4) Ask the man himself! n-Track is developed Flavio Antonioli, and he's a really great guy. Fill out a support form over at the n-Track website and he'll usually get back to you within a week. It is especially important that you do this if you think you've found a real bug in the software. He really will fix things if he can reproduce your problem! Otherwise, he may be able to help you with your setup. Do not go sending in support requests for every single little problem though, as I'm sure he's pretty busy.
5) If you solve your problem by posting somewhere else or dealing directly with Flavio, be sure to return to tell us how you solved it.
Good luck!
