actually, forumman, the last poster in your thread before your bumps asked you to post a screenshot, saying it might help clarify....

i can't tell you why more people didn't post in your thread, but i can tell you how i approach things if i have a question that i don't know the answer to.....my style is just to be as succinct as possible and say what i've tried or do know, as well as say as much as i can about the specific problem i'm having....the people that are willing to help are willing to help any and everyone...they deal with a lot of posts in a day...if you can get to the heart of the matter quickly, you're more like to get helpful responses

you'll note that i'm a "beginner", so that might be part of this opinion, but i personally found your humor to confuse the entire question....it maybe why a screen shot was requested....

btw....you never posted it .....and welcome to tsg!!!

and bumping the post 30 mins apart from each other doesn't help, especially at 1 in the morning when most of the english posters are in bed

I closed the thread, I think the poster is just scamming us.

One more ridiculous post and your account will be closed as well.

I definitly agree, its not nice to make up fake problems. Also please don't thread the same question in random.

I guess a mod can close this before there's to much fighting here.

Closing this one as well.

I notice the original poster hasn't been back.
