I have three questions that are interrelated, but can be also thought of as independent questions. Should I make one post with questions 1, 2, and 3, or three separate posts?

I like to keep topics as independent as is practical.?ÿ Three independent questions would be three threads. But it is hard to foresee the interdependence someone else might point out between them, so if I wasn't?ÿ ?ÿentirely sure I might still combine them.

Wishy-washy answer, but no doubt there will be a variety of viewpoints.

I hate it when someone sends an email about something and then throws in a line about another topic that appears totally unrelated.?ÿ It's not like a letter where it would cost another stamp to separate them. And it makes it hard later to find correspondence on the second topic.

The worst that could happen is the thread gets merged, admin locks and delete the thread. If the topic doesn't offend. It doesn't hurt to keep them seperate

It's also helpful to put them into the proper forum. 😉

Moved to Support & Bug Reports forum.
