I decided to go through and catalog all the problems thet the OP's changed to Solved or Fixed. This way we can see what the problem was and what solution worked to fix the problem!

Tell me what you think!

For all new problems, it would be really nice if the OP would come back to the thread once the problem is fixed and state what solution they used. We could then get a better understanding of what happened and learn from it.

This list goes back as far as I can go in the threads and does not inculde threads that the OP did not change the title to fixed, resolved, etc...

If you know of a thread that was fixed and would be helpful, please submit it and I will add on to this list. Enjoy.

i'd say 90% of the tech support threads are solved, except most of them don't change titles to solved.

Thanks mmathis added.

xcgames,

I realize that, but when a poster takes the time to chaneg their title to solved, they usually post what solution worked for them. Other threads that do not say solved usually do not have the solution posted.

If you were some how able to sort them by date added or user or maybe catalog them by type...say hardware software OS...

And a BIG THANKS for undertaking this project. :D

Should this be added to one of the how to's or something?

It would be nice if this resource was always accessible.

Looks good :woot:

It might be easier to read though if you took out all the ***Solved***, *fixed*, etc (they are solved, otherwise they wouldn't be listed :))...or at least put them in the same place in each link (like at the beginning of the title, or at the end)

What do you think now, or should I just remove the fixed?

I say leave the **fixed**...then maybe more posters will remember to update their thread headers once the problems/issues are resolved.

How to combine .001, .002, .003, .004, .etc Files (Solved, used WinRar) (http://forums.slickdeals.net/t74502.html?)

Could not add this reply to the above thread because "it's too old and you can't add a reply to it"

HJSplit (www.freebyte.com/hjsplit) also uses the same .001, .002 .. extensions and I have successfully used it to combine/merge file parts into one big file. (eg: incomplete downloads in Overnet)

did you read the warning at the bottom of the quick reply box?

This Thread is more than 271 days old. It is very likely that it does not need any further discussion and thus bumping it solves no purpose.
If you still feel it is necessary to make a new reply, you can still do so though.

there is a checkbox you can check that says I am aware that this Thread is rather old but I still want to make a reply.
