I think a lot of people pop in looking for help and have not had time to explore the site.:)

It would be nice to have though. I like browsing people's specs to see what everyone is running.

They could make it mandatory to sign up....no specs, no signing in.....

I like it. I understand we have lurkers but if we make some of system specs mandatory the new user would at least know its there. they would fill out what ever they like. the important things OS, ram, video, etc would be most helpful

I think it's reasonable. Just for the basics. I'll bet the mods have probably thought about this and decided against it. There are probably reasons they don't require the specs....more members for one.

True members and traffic are lifeblood of a site. Maybe one of the admins could give us a feeling for it.

I agree 100% with this, I may not have been a memory here that long but I can already tell not many bother to put down there specs.

Plus, if a user doesn't know his/her own specs, making the important ones (RAM, CPU, OS, GPU) required would be helpful not only to use, but to the user themself as they would learn what they have. :)

I disagree even though I have posted my specs.
Unless I am asking for help there is no need for anyone to know my system specs.
New members signing up would probably not bother or put whatever they like (always wanted to own a super computer)

I was wondering if anyone would bring this up." Privacy "

What does it matter if your spec are posted? The only reason I can think of is embarrassment. Even that has no merit. Most people use what they want or can afford.

It's an issue with some people I guess.

I think its more complacency than privacy. I myself have been guilty (in other places of course) of not filling in a question or two. Here though it like telling us I have a car that will not start without telling us if its gas or hybrid. I find myself typing the same thing 20+ times a day. I dont know how many new members are around but most of the people asking for help have OS= XP or vista in system specs and nothing else.

Usually works - I send them a PM with the LINK on Why tell specs. If the specs are not complete I simply do not give ASSISTANCE.
Or i ask them, can you help me, my car only gets 51 mpg, it should get more.

Perhaps, if the important parts are made required (CPU, RAM, HDD, GPU, etc.) there can be a 'why?' section, explaining why its required?

I'm not ADMIN so actually that would be a solution that might be brought to there attention.

But a better solution to add (IMHO) to signature, is look and see if they have any specs. NO, then post back NO ASSISTANCE ON MY PART UNTIL YOU HAVE SYSTEM SPECS.
This I feel is only reasonable... but many ppl have NO IDEA that those whom help are NOT MIND READERS>

very importand also is "
1. where did they get there LEAK? utorrent - WZOR link, or Gosugoon link,
link from PCBeta (china) or WAREZ.
2. was it iso or vhd
3. what was the actual name. very important.
4. several forums it was found 75 pages later he forget to say he used "someother forums patch". which was not from the official site. therefore the instuction for using that PATCH was not correct. also it was modified and contained a TROJAN.
5. Many times they also inform that they DUAL BOOT INCORRECTLY.
6. Many TIMES they later say (page 56) I did it exactly How Xxxxx said only I changed this part to.
7. Which loader was used?
8. Was it OEM or Retail leak?

Its not they lie about it, they simply do not tell the WHOLE truth.

I agree about the lack of information in user's system specs. Is a bit annoying when you try to help somebody and don't even know what's his processor is, or motherboard, RAM... you just know that they've Windows 7.
There's a freeware that I've found some time ago in Microsoft's site made by Gabriel Topala called System Information for Windows. That could help people to fill their system specs.

Hope it helps somebody. :)

Rather than requiring system specs on sign-up/sign-in, could/would it be possible to have the site s/w enforce a "no post without specs" policy and then, at the same time, define what minimum systems specs would be required?
