LongitudinalThrust: Jeez, why is everybody taking the
obvious joke so
serious? I thought it was funny... As someone who does tech support, having folks hit that Post New Thread button instead of even bothering to look at the front page of a forum is one of the biggest annoyances in their job.
It sounds silly but I know on one support forums I used to help out, 72 bit text across the top of every single page along with a sticky also on every single page whenever we had a major technical issue still wasn't good enough for people to notice and start yet another thread on the topic both of those referenced.
And then you got the hate from those folks who defended their "god given right!" to post whatever they wanted and how dare you try to point them at a thread with their answers.
I'll be honest. This is one of the most tame forums I've spent time in.
Having said all that, it doesn't help that the main thread is headed by an obscure title that really has nothing to do with the problem. If I ran the forums, it would have been edited and stickied.
And we would still be getting threads about the problem....
