What's up with the Newbies these days
Hi all.
We ALL are quite willing to spend time and effort helping people but just recently we seem to be getting a load of the most BASIC questions from people who have only made 1 or 2 posts -- for example "My Computer won't start" or "I'm on My Dad's machine - how do I fix the UAC to allow me to use restricted sites" (thankfully that post was locked).
Could I suggest ALL new users do the following (after all we ALL started from somewhere and in those days we didn't have the myriad of tools that are available today to fix machines etc).
1) PLEASE READ THE FORUM RULES -- there's been a lot of people requesting downloads of W7 RTM (or other builds) from "Alternative sources".
2) A little bit of ELEMENTARY GOOGLING will solve a lot of problems first.
That way we can all enjoy and benefit from this great forum without having to wade through tons of stuff that doesn't really need to be posted in the first place.
Cheers
