I get so frustrated when I go to a post and try to read something new about how someone is dealing with a beta and all they post is \"Okay, I\'m downloading it now, I\'ll report back...\" Ummmmm, okay that\'s why you\'re a beta tester, it is a no brainer that you are going to download the program, how else will you test it?

Whew! That felt better. If you are reading this and you are one of those posters, don\'t take it personally. I\'m not attacking any one person, it is just that you shouldn\'t post just to post to up your post count. If you don\'t have something important to add to the discussion then just don’t post.

My two cents…

(By the way, several people have beaten you to this post - but I\'ll excuse you because I broke the system that lets you view older threads. I really must get round to fixing that...)

How or why did you do that? Is it because the board hates you and knows that your afraid? :)

It was in the general reorganisation of the board code, it was one of the items that didn\'t get included in the global header data. We\'ll look at fixing that shortly, because it is fairly useful.

Uh?

It is just useless to post that kind of "****"
It's just a lot of network traffic for nothing.
Use MSN/ICQ if you want to chat.
