Learn to separate the two. And please add the option to be helpful or just plain leave no comments instead of the typical knee-jerk reaction of posting something negative if people (shock, gasp, horror) have different opinions than yourself.

You also seem to be first in line to spout out negativity too. Time to stop, you think? There is a very visible consequence for such actions.

Simpler terms, if you deem something foolish, why respond?

C'mon. I've helped a bunch of people in need of help. Unless you can prove that I am more negative than I am helpful, I call b******* on your claim.

The initial post was an opinion post and not one asking for help. And I responded by giving my opinion. Am I not allowed to do that? Or are whiners the only ones entitled to opinions?

Besides, I was reacting to his not needing help statement. I thought it was ironic, hence the facepalm comment. If you continued reading, I actually suggested a fix to his portrait-landscape issue

And why are you here?

Ok guys.

This is just another in a long line of vanity threads and we all know how they wind up.

The poster did make very clear he was not interested in any solutions. No need to dogpile on him for his sentiments, and at the same time, no reason to dogpile on those who point out the pointlessness of such vanity threads.

Let's find something better to do.

To find ways to maximize my device. The forum is not customer service. I don't get a paycheck from Nokia every time I help someone.
The help received on the forums is out of the generosity of the members. The members don't owe anybody help but they help people.
Coming on here with a feeling of self entitlement is nothing short of rude.

Nokia Customer Service HAS to help. Forum members CHOOSE to help. That's the big difference

Thanks for proving my point. Name one positive thing you've said in this thread other than patting yourself on your own back of your prior accomplishments.

Don't forget to include your decision to curse at me as well.

The initial post was an opinion post and not one asking for help. And I responded by giving my opinion. Am I not allowed to do that? Or are whiners the only ones entitled to opinions?
Ever thought that the label of "whiner" could be met with the label of "teacher" and thus force those "whiners" to learn more instead of feeling more alienated?

The pack mentality is strong with you. I'd suggest dropping it. It's rather ugly.

Besides, I was reacting to his not needing help statement. I thought it was ironic, hence the facepalm comment. If you continued reading, I actually suggested a fix to his portrait-landscape issue
I did read. First comment... real helpful.

Ok. You don't get my point; doubtful you will. So I'll state it once more.

Want to be helpful, then be helpful. If you see a thread with what you call "idiotic", then why post in it? You don't have to. But you did anyway... over and over.

And you were one of the first with a rather useless response.

Facepalm.

You're doing it wrong.

Regardless. I'm trying to say that the current negativity around here; you're a very visible person when there is no need to be. Want to continue cursing at me, I will report that post too.

I suggest that you see that I'm trying to help this community; not belittle you.

This thread has no reason to remain open unless you wish to continue down the path. Either path.

All im asking is a change in attatude. I see this all the time. Worthless post and no help.
How about this? What is the problem? How can I help? And leave it at that. I have wasted alot of time reading thru bull$#IT post. Its just a wast of time. How may I help? How simple can that be?

I cursed at you? You are bigger than this. I said, I call BS on your claim. That is not cursing at you. You said I always spout negativity and I disagree. I try to help when I can. How else am I supposed to respond to that?

I suggested he check his phone orientation settings, didn't I?

What pack mentality?

I chose to post in it because I wanted to. Or I can't do that anymore?

Over and over?

What are you on about?

And I did offer a suggestion to fix his problem.

How many posts with users needing help get ignored? Be honest.
