Sticky Notes?

Posted by justme4now (My Page) on

The one problem that I see as far as this forum goes is: When folks ask for help, they usually leave out the important information.
The information that I refer to is: Operating System, Browser used etc. etc.

We could really use a way to post sticky notes so as to cut down on the unnecessary .. "What OS, What Browser questions".
Wonder why this option isn't available?

it is just the extremely basic features this forum uses it is very very lacking. Most forums allow signatures so we could add that info to the bottom of each of our posts, not so here.

Not trying to beat a horse to death, on the homepage banner is a directive, "Before posting a question, please check the FAQ and do a search to make sure it hasn't already been answered". Under the FAQ's is "Asking for Help...Items to Include in Your Post/Request. Here's what it says:

When requesting help, please try to include some or all of the following information if possible:
(Right-click "My Computer", "Properties" to find specifications)

-The make and model of the computer, or a "no name" unit built by a local shop or yourself.
-The processor brand name and speed.
-The amount of installed RAM.
-The operating system..for example: XP (SP2?), ME, 2000, 98, 98SE etc., and whether or not it has been updated.
-The browser(s)you are using, IE (5.5, 6.0 etc.), Opera, Firefox, Netscape (4.79 etc.).
-The anti-virus program you are using, and if it is up to date.
-Any other items that will help us understand your system.

Try to indicate the area of your problem in the Subject line.
(Please don't title your post "Help!!!")

Please try not to address your post to any one person.
There are varying levels of experience on our forum and members enjoy contributing when they can...

In your post:
-Describe the problem completely, and as best you can, any significant events you noticed which occured prior to the problem. -Describe what steps (if any) you have taken to correct the problem.
-Tell us if any programs have been recently installed or uninstalled.
-Let us know if you have rebooted (restarted) your computer since the problem began.
(Note: rebooting solves a multitude of glitches and hiccups)

Please include any other information that might help us zero in on the problem.

TxKen did such a great job you can't make it much clearer.
