The thing is, most of us read all pages. You won't get a reply right away, because a forum is not a chat room. Just have patience.
A quick tip: copy your previous message, delete it, and post a new one, adding the old message text. This will cause a bump without double posting.
And about the rules, well, they're there and must be followed. No exceptions.
People don't mention the rules to be mean, just to help you get the best experience on the forums and not to get in trouble with admins and mods that can get tired of merging/moving/deleting your posts.
