if this post appears then i've fixed the annoying 'javascript confirmation' dialog spam i've been getting in microb. test, test. this is a test.

Edit: woohoo!

Who the phuck are you again? Exactly.

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

Welcome to my thread. Pleased to meet you.

I'm the new guy that stirs up sh**. And you?

Actually, no need to introduce yourself, I've got you pegged. You can never have too many hard-a** guys in a thread. Thanks for joining. :)

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

To the OP... I found the answer to your question on a site that also had the results of a study that showed that 72.5% of the people surveyed had the same issues as you.

(BTW, don't bother looking for a link in my post to support this statement. With my now higher post count I believe you should just assume I am an expert on everything.)

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

Someone needs a Christmas holiday. And I think it's all of us.

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

Another thread for us newbies to filter out! It wasn't long ago that there was this one.

I'll chalk it up to the fact that people are blowing off steam before the holidays!

Not to sound like a parent, but yabbas has it right back here.

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

BTW, how are you guys viewing this thread? My browser just hangs there... I've tried all day. Someone post up a damn torrent!

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

But that thread got everyone to agree that the real solution was a Wiki FAQ, which I then started. Very few have contributed to or used it. Just as I predicted, the most vocal people in support of it haven't done a bloody thing.

So maybe something else that the community wants and won't contribute to or use will come out of this thread! :)

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

i know this thread is a joke, but honestly success rate of finding an answer by searching here is very minimal. search function is pretty basic.
there should be a sticky, how-to, or some master thread that links to other threads with solutions etc.

some topics include many many threads and solution is buried somewhere that would take months of reading to get through.

and between 770, 800, 810, and all the OS versions, the possible permutation of variables keeps increasing.

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

Speak of the devil.

By the way, have you tried the custom Google search I created when everyone said the search here sucks?
Search ITT with Google

I see Reggie even added it to the Search section on the site's main page. Doesn't seem to have solved too many problems either though.

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

Not sure what to say to that, other than it may not get better than this. There is probably a certain amount of noise we'll all have to put up with.

I did notice that the wiki does not have posting guidelines for newbies.

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!! Stop! Stop!

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

It's either this thread or back to yelling at the Canola2 devs for being *****s releasing it on slow-assed , no-bandwidth Maemo servers.

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

why not have volunteer mods deleting redundant threads and or posts.

i wouldn't mind if my question was redundant and got deleted, only if it meant that many more like it got deleted and answer was easier to find.

isn't there enough people who want to mod the forums?

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

Actually it is quite easy using your own profile page via quick link.

If you are someone who answers posts regularly with useful solutions then you can quickly find and post a link to your own previous post.
The same goes if you have started constructive threads, these are also easy to find using your own dang profile page.

The only annoyance I have with this is that because of the minimum post size, you can't (as I often wished I could) simply reply to another members query with just the link.

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

I'm so glad someone started this official rant thread!

What I'm tired of here is the severe lack of LOLs. So many LOL-worthy posts that go LOLless. And as any [oxy*****] good LOLyer [/oxy*****] will tell you, a LOLless society is not good.

Since no one else is rising to the occasion, I am taking it upon myself to restore the LOLster. I will now start demanding that noobs search for LOLst LOLs before posting anything LOLless. In addition, I will LOLby Reggie to replace the useless "Thanks" button with a much more helpful "LOL" button.

Let's all do our part! Help the endangered LOLs!

Your donations are welcome, but not tax deductable.

Thank-- er, LOL you.

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

How about someone show Nokia how to build a server cluster to host IT firmwares and repositories on?
I can show them but they'll have to PAY for that knowledge.

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

Why are you trying to bring down this thread with your lame answers?

I NEED MOAR ANSWERS. SUM1 HALP ME GET THIS PIECE OF CRAP TO WORK.

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

Did you try Search?

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

LOL

.......... (ten characters this beyatch!)

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

No seriously, I think a LOL button would kick ***.

Also, NO MODS... Much as I'd love a fascist little internet tablet society...

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

O, so, that's what that strap was for? Ok, what about all these buttons? How exactly do they work?

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

I don't know what is scarier.

Someone typed all that.

Or someone went back and highlighted it.

I vote the highlight. Because when highlighting... you had to accidently read the stuff that was typed.

Whatever. They both hurt my eyes.

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

If Nokia doesn't repair their repositories in 3 minutes; I'll sell my device and buy an iphone or an Eee. I know from good sources (my grandmother) that they are much better.
Nokia has no chance to survive without my grandmother and me.

I added Technut's simple posting rules to section 1.4 'Forum Tools' of the wiki.

OH YA, DATS WAT I WANT. A windows device...oh oh..and don forget your firewall and your virus scanner and and your really big wallet to pay far too much money for a 'daybook calendar' with a pretty appearance or how about 'pocket tunes' just $49.95. yuk yuk yuk :p:

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

I searched and couldn't find it.

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

:)

I'd thank each and everyone of you for the witty banter in this thread, but I don't see the 'Thanks' button anywhere! Nope - didn't search for it, just noticed it's not there!

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

The Thanks button is automatically disabled when the wit level falls below acceptable thresholds.

Yes, it's a feature.

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

If you'd done a frickin' search you would have discovered that's changed in OS2008 :-)

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

Reading the forum today I feel like I'm in a temporal loop. Every 3rd post is a repeat of something already covered. And duplicate threads are multiplying like rabbits.

I see GenAnt is up the creek because he's being too curt in his answers and not hand-holding enough.

I'm trying to restrain myself from commenting in the threads... I really am.

There seems to be a LOT of people who would rather start their own thread or post their own question, rather than read someone else's thread or read the answer that was previously posted.

I'm kinda hoping the place will implode from everyone posting and nobody reading. Then perhaps those on the periphery will be blown out of orbit and only the solid core will remain.

Thank heavens I have this thread for sanctuary. But my humour is too downtrodden at the moment from what I've seen today... I can't even manage a decent bit of sarcasm. :( I'll be back later.

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

Technut: Back to my point about the troubleshooting stuff. We've always wondered about how prolific tablets are out there, and I think we just got served notice that they've hit the mainstream. Every single tech msg board whether it be software or device related has hit the point we're at now. Usually the people who've been around for a while get up in arms and tear the new people a new something-else (read: any Linux forum) but I'd *really* like to see that not happen here.

I think restructuring might be needed (sorry Reggie, I could hear you sigh from here)... something like a Troubleshooting main forum and tablet or OS specific subforums. At this point it *does* look like a major chunk of the topics/subtopics need to be devoted to it.

I've always hated the idea of moderators (think "little Hitlers") but this stuff's gotta be moved to keep the forums usable. Ionno about you guys but I always like reading about new developments, not troubleshooting things that have been posted a zillion times... but I do try to at least be nice when/if I can answer the questions.

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

That's exactly why I suggested, some posts back, that new users should be allowed to post only in existing threads, and be made to wait until they reach a certain level of posts and/or membership duration before they can create their own threads.

This seems to be common practice on a lot of boards, and is probably an option in vBulletin.

No one followed up when I first mentioned it (probably because this very thread is not meant for serious propositions :-), but I still believe now would be the right time to do this.

The danger is that the opposite result is equally probable : the "solid core" leaving in disgust or going to lurk mode, with the forum contents turning to vacuum.

Re: A new thread! PAY ATTENTION TO *ME*!!!
 

Funny you should mention that fpp. I hit this thread first because I actually wanted to read it and just spent 30 mins going through the rest of the topics.

It's all troubleshooting, complaining, prices for tablets (that make for awesome topics since they change in 2 days).

This is insane. 90% of it is redundant.
