When did...
..."Do It Yourself Projects" turn into the "Hardware" forum??? Is everyone just too lazy to change forums, or what? EVERY OTHER section on these forums is computer-related, it used to be nice to come in here and find something a little different - how do I rebuild my lawmower's carb, how do I install a 350 small-block on my mountain bike, how do I turn my old fridge into a rocket ship, etc. Now it's just overrun by hardware and software problems - 23 of 30 posts listed on the first page are topics that to my thinking, belong in other areas.

*sigh*

Actually, consistent to this forum, maybe the collected braintrust could devise a way to issue a small shock through the mouse of anyone posting in the wrong place...?

My bad. I'm not visiting those forums often, and I thought this was the correct forum to request help for system specs.

But if this is not the correct forum, what is? I don't know about other people but I'm happy to receive non snarky constructive criticism.

EDIT:
Found it. I was under the impression the hardware forum would actually be about problematic hardware, rather then hardware generally. It was the secondary title which threw me completely off track.
If I ask a moderator nicely will he move my post? *puppy eyes*

That's a very easy question to answer if you look at the snap of the section title. Take the word " computers " out of it and maybe the problem will go away. I never did understand why it was there in the first place.

I think the suggestion to take computer out of the description is a good one, I'll suggest that to Mike.

It's a long story as far as this site goes so I'll simplify it by saying.... my name is Guy and my mother used to call me Guyzer when I was a squirt. TaDaaaaaaaaaaaa

If this is some kind of diaper-training story, I don't wanna hear it!

I agree... I think Ashes would agree as well... if I bought her a beer...

Howdy JohnWill... What happened...
http://forums.techguy.org/5476054-post6.html

also from here... http://forums.techguy.org/site-comme...-yourself.html

The word computer should be removed from the sub title and the whole DIY should be put in the community section

Do It Yourself
help with how to fix anything non tech related ie: cars, toasters, lawnmowers, bird bath heaters, leaky faucet, plugged pipes, light does not work... you get the idea...

Let me moderate it and there will be no computer post in there... period... I know ... fat chance... second chance...

Hi John

I hear you... just seems like a quick fix that would lessen the confusion... maybe not... and I know Mike is always busy...
