I don't know how other people might feel about this, but here is my issue with some threads asking for technical, or other advice.....
On many occasions now, being the help full sort of bloke I am, I have offered advice on technical problems that other Funsters have sought help for.
What I find quite frustrating is that the OP sometimes never returns to the thread after having been given advice by other funsters.
This is not just an case of politeness, but also one of confirmation that the advice given was both accurate and helpful.
It is easy for misconceptions and myths to become presumed fact on the internet if nobody bothers to challenge them or take the time to revisit a thread and tell everyone else what the problem actually was following receiving advice and help!
In my opinion, if you have a problem and have sought advice here, I think you should come back and tell us what was the cause of your technical problem! Keeping it all to yourself will only perpetuate long threads full of best guesses rather then advice gleaned from fact!
Well that's my spleen vented!
Have a nice weekend everyone!
