The perceived "problems" you are experiencing are all \\;\\\\\\;perfectly normal for your type of computer.
 \\;\\\\\\;
If an actual problem exists, it \\;\\\\\\;may be \\;\\\\\\;due to unauthorized modifications using aftermarket parts.
 \\;\\\\\\;
Some of these problems could be due to improper typing style.
 \\;\\\\\\;
Don't believe me?? \\;\\\\\\; Just ask any authorized service tech!
Not trying to be sarcastic, but is there another forum out there that offers this much knowledge share? Seriously, this is the only one I have heard of.
If sponsers are leaving then WE need to give a bit more! If your gonna moan, the least you could do is \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;donate for the right....
 \\;\\\\\\;
So what you're sayin' is the only way you can voice an opinion or complain about the site is to donate to it? \\;\\\\\\; That's rediculous. \\;\\\\\\; If I'm going to donate money, it will be for other reasons. \\;\\\\\\; Not just so I can bitch about somethin'. \\;\\\\\\; It seems a majority of the people on the forum aren't contributors. \\;\\\\\\; And I would think if there's a problem so many members are experiencing, they would welcome the voiced opinions whether the members are contributors or not.
 \\;
Live2Ride - I totally agree! \\; This forum is offered up to everyone free of charge but as soon as someone says something about a lingering problem you get bashed for not being a contributor or sponsor. \\;
 \\;
Back in January I sent a message to the HDF using the contact us page saying the search feature wasn't working... no response. \\; A few weeks later I sent another message saying the same thing and asked if they got my first message... no answer. \\; In March I chimed in about the lack of support I got in a thread about the broken search feature, started by someone else, \\;and got JUMPED by the moderators \\;for complaining when I'm not a sponsor. \\; And THAT'S why I'm not a sponsor today!
 \\;
I'm sure \\;if money is the root of all these problems there would be a mandatory membership fee. \\; Until then, I'll contiue to help anyone with a powder coating question FOR FREE, and if I have anything else to say I don't believe I have to throw money to say it.
Not everyones posts have the slashes.You can bet the forum is looking into this.Who knows maybe its not the forum but \\;\\\\\\;your computer?
 \\;
I doubt a lot of people's computers all messed up at the same time. \\; I'm also not able to send PM's. \\; I was able to receive them, though.
whats the deal with the \\; on pics? i used to be able to see all the pics but since these troubles started i can hardly see any on the pics that are posted. \\; \\; \\; [sm=redx.gif]
