The OP asking if anyone else was having the same issues made this thread belong in the forum. If I were to ask a question that could potentially illicit any number of responses, I am not going to ask it via PM.

If I had a problem/query, whatever, that just needed a directresponse, then I would PM a mod, as JimC can testify.

The only problem here is the tone from the OP. Certainly not conducive to a friendly response.

Let's not the rest of us fall out over what is basically a petty squabble. 8)

absolutely. but the boy went off on a tear first before really getting to the point which could have been put out in about 3 lines.

You say 'closure', we say 'sorted'.

Lucky you !! You should compare notes with Aladyforty

But don't mention Cricket to her :-)

I am a tech guy. I work as a Systems Administrator and come across stuff like this all of the time.

When users get frustrated, a public "Digital Camera" forum is not the place to vent your frustrations. This forum is for digi cam info.

IMHO, if you are really that upset regarding the forum software, and you wish to contribute to Steve's community, work this out with Steve or one of the moderators. You don't need to get the entire community involved. Heck, you could probably help out Steve and his admin by searching KB articles and such at the softwares website and see if you can maybe pass on some helpful tips to Steve.

We are all here for the same reason, to learn from each other and pass our knowledge onto others. Not to start bashing this free service Steve offers. There, those are just my two cents and I will quit wasting Steves costly bandwidth.

do you think this might get her attention?

Fair comment RyanH, but Iwould like to think the OP has now got the message about the correct protocol.

Unfortunately sjms and myself let ourselves get into a little spat, but as you can see we reconciled any differences we may have had. Apologies.

sjms, yes I do think that will get her attention. Red rag to a bull and all that :shock:.

I propose we consider this thread over. :bye:

sjms · Aug 26, 2005, 3:26 PM
