Are we aware of why. It would appear a simpler solution than his pinned.

Is there a report this post option with this software. I have seen that in other forums.

There is. It was enabled when the board was a lot smaller (3000 members) and Paul still did the modding.
Result: dozens of useless PM's per day, because everybody who noticed something pressed the button.
Sending a PM is a lot less impulsive, so I wouldn't mind if it stayed that way.

That makes sense, thanks metal mate.

I told someone their software question belonged in the softwareworld instead of movieworld and I felt guilty for a couple of days. Hope everybody forgives me.

I can understand that - The more work needed to report something, the more likely that only the most problematic posts will get notified by the most dedicated about it.

'tis the natural instincts of man unfortunately

No, frankly you are a bar steward and should feel guilty a lot longer. How could you.

BTW didn't somebody work out that I was you once.

Yeah that was pretty funny JPaul. Back to this Modding thing though. I think subtle hints work well. I mean if the person is new but acting like "Mr. Big Pants" then maybe someone could hint to them and they'll get the message. Or PM. I'll admit that I'm new I learned on a 486x66 comp and I didn't do alot of surfing with that version of Microsoft IE that's for sure. It was a slow era. I was capable of creating config.sys and autoexec.bat files and that was the extent of it. Excuse my noobiness.

n00b. I remember writing batch files in dos. From a hardware point of view I remember the first computers I used had a floppy and no hard drive. We thought it was great when we got the second floppy.

As a matter of historical interest, that was why the C drive was called that, because A and B were floppies.

Consider yourself lucky to have had floppys! I started on a TI 99/4-a with tape backup. RS-232 was it? With a horrible scream from the cassete deck if you forgot to decrease the volume before a backup.
I was quite privileged in that I managed to purchase one of the few extended basic modules available.
