Are my attachements still not working? Im looking at it now and they are. But let me know if they still aren't and Ill try and remove them. Maybe management doesn't want me to use them. They re a picture of the twin towers, and it says" 9-11, this should never have happened. Maybe management thinks it would offend others. I hope it doesn't, and that wasn't my intention, if it needs to be removed Ill take it off.

From what info I just got, you might have deleted the attachments, so please try to post them again, and we'll let you know if we can see them.

bizygurl · Jan 25, 2006, 07:46 AM

Chery, I think DJ'H said that they still weren't there, so I did delete them. I figured that maybe there was a block on them for a reason. Its too bad it was a really good attachment.

No they were not there, so I guess Admin did block them. I am sure it was a great attachment though. ;)

bizygurl · Jan 25, 2006, 09:02 AM

Yeah it was, I was kind of bummed that they blocked it, because I didn't think at the time it would have insulted anyone, I mean 9-11 did happen and I only put it in reference to what my post was saying. But I really didn't think about that it may bother people sensetive people. Or people who had lost a loved one who and are reading this thread, and that I can completely understand. I probably should have thought that a little more through.

Im glad you guys told me what was going on. I kind of wished administraion had sent me an e-mail about the block, I wouldve taken it off right away, no questions asked.

They may not have blocked it. It could have been a computer error.

I guess we are just speculating ;)

bizygurl · Jan 25, 2006, 09:35 AM

That's true! You could be right

LTheobald · Jan 25, 2006, 09:46 AM

My turn to reply. I'll probably add some things that have already been added but I can't be bothered to read the middle pages :P

First thing that ticks me off: RUNESCAPE! You mention that word and suddenly you get tonnes of dumb 14 year olds asking how where they "can download a b0t to upd8 their r0x0r c00king skillz!". In fact I think First - no one here cares. Secondly, it's a game, do what most people and level up whatever skill by using it a lot. But not, they point this pointless question completely off topic. They then come back and ***** when they lsiten to some random person who said "post your username/password here" and then wonder how they got hacked.

Come to think of it, the ones that really annoy me are the ones who say they have been hacked but never used a bot. All they did was give their details to their mate. NEWSFLASH: Your "mate" has probably logged into your account and taken your stuff..

Next, onto the punctuation. Now I know my grammar isn't great and I possibly, just possibly, use a comma once to many. But I don't think it annoys anyone. But when somebody feels that they need,, to,, separate,, every,, frigging,, word,, with,, commas,, instead,, of,, spaces,, - THAT ANNOYS ME!

Ben, you've got us all started now.

Onto the homework peeps. I don't mind if somebody posts their homework. I won't answer it of course but I will normally be kind and point out that I can't help them but they could start by reading/doing XYZ. Most of the time you get a polite thank you and that's that. Of course you get the occasional idiot who flames you for this.

My final rant - people who email/PM you their response. I don't get a chance to view this board every day so if you email me saying "I'm still having trouble" chances are I will have forgotten about it the next day and your question will become unanswered. If you had just posted the response on the forum somebody else could have taken over the reins and you'd be surfing happily by now.

And now it's almost time for me to go home so I'll end my rant by saying smoething inspiring... Monkeys are cool.

Hi LT,

I share most of your rants. I especially agree with people who ask a follow-up outside the thread (starting a new thread or via PM) and expect you to remember the question. Like they are the only person who asked for help.

So many people don't stop to consider there are other viewpoints and ways of doing things besides their own. They just expect people to see things the way that see them. And before someone thinks this is hypocritical of me, I'm not talking about things that are black and white, but where there is room for differences.

But my biggest rant is people who don't reason. One of the main things that sets us apart from animals is out ability to reason things out from facts and logic. Many of the questions that are asked here could be answered by a few minutes of logical reasoning. Many of the arguments people make here are disproved when logic is applied. Yet so many people refuse to perform this so essential of humankind's abilities.

Agree with you 100%

nwsflash · Jan 25, 2006, 11:37 AM

The people that really piss me off are those that seem to post the same question like 2 - 3 times in different place's on the board, get a life and post once in the correct thread!! Not all over the forum. The one that gets a block straight away is when people put "REPLY NOW ASAP" :mad: I just don't even bother looking at them because most of them are just some dum *** that thinks I'm going to do there home work for them.

I also really get pissed off with the people that post weird b/s all over different threads as like here https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/showthread.php?t=18142 get a life please, the truth don't cost you anything. Would say that I agree with most of the posts on this thread 110%

Curlyben · Jan 25, 2006, 11:44 AM

Another one that's dumb as hell.
We have a nice new "Questions About Use of This Site" boards and yet some dumb schmuk posts a building question there.

These are the sort of people that need warnings on packets of peanuts that say "Warning could contain Nuts"!!
This is the sort of person for whom RTFM was invented

nwsflash · Jan 25, 2006, 11:46 AM

Lmfao they piss me off toooo big time

Nez · Jan 28, 2006, 06:44 AM

Nice to see the new added info bars below the thread title,and at the bottom of the thread.If anyone doesn't understand that,I give up! :D

Chery · Jan 28, 2006, 07:30 AM

Nez, I agree dear, admin did a good job here. Also, the sponsored links are better placed and not in the way of the other clickable features - this should work.

LTheobald · Feb 1, 2006, 02:48 AM

OK, I've got one that really makes me laugh in the computer section. A question like this:

It's true we don't get this that often but it does happened occasionally. Personally (and I think I'm in a mean mood this morning), if you're stupid enough to think that some random person is going to send you $100 for opening an attachment well then you deserve to get the virus. When will people learn - do not open attachments from unknown address.

And now some stupid jokes. The WordPerfect one always makes me laugh: http://www.humournet.co.uk/Jokes/techsupport.htm

Nez · Feb 1, 2006, 03:40 AM

Lee,that's a classic about attachments.Will people ever learn.The thing that makes me (laugh),is those questions that say "my girlfriend has run off with my best friend.Should I try and get her back? Or,I bought a new pair of shoes and they are the wrong colour.What should I do? Get a life... :D

ScottGem · Feb 1, 2006, 06:53 AM

LT,

I agree. People need to take some personal responsibility for their actions. If something looks too good to be true it probably is. With all the mainstream publicity given to virus and phishing threats it amazes me that anyone would be so careless. And frankyl I agree they deserve what happened to them.

Its not dissimilar to the people who post questions in the obviously wrong forums. What do they think all those subjects are for? Did it ever occur to them that there are some method to posting? I think it's a symptom of the Me generation. They want and think they deserve to have things handed to them.
