Well let me help again, but only one last time: that was yesterday afternoon and it still seems to be an issue.
The appropriate place to post your several hundred word gripes about forum functions is in the help forum; where the forum admin can assist with the difficulties you seem to be having.
I think it's fitting that someone share that information with you, as you're turning the CB tricks thread into the Nowurtalking-gripe-thread.
Sorry, you are wrong. It is you, who are griping. Everything I've said has centered around the cbt backup issue. My comments went only as far as replying to what was said to me, here on this forum, in reply to my questions about it. I did also ask about how to do pm because someone said to take my dispute w/a rude person to pm. As I noted, I already had tried to do that but couldnt see how to do it. So I asked. I was told, I believe a couple days ago and i used that info, but there was a side problem w/the pm instruction. So I asked about that because I though it was a pretty simple thing & that there would be a simple answer.
You, apparently don't take the time to carefully read what was said and that's why you keep coming back to offer your advise on doing pm, even tho several times I clearly stated that I now know how to do pm. If you read even one of the times I said that, you would have no reason to keep telling me stuff that is no longer pertinent. I made it very clear that the side issue was about seeing a totally different page when clicking on someone else's icon or even their name (in the way I described). You seem to take that totally different issue and ignore the details and then think I still don't know how to do pm.
You're also incorrect as to me having problems with way the site works. I said nor implied nothing if the kind, with the possible exception being when I said maybe what I described was a one time glitch. It certainly was not a complaint about how the site works as you said.
The only complaint I had was about not getting any reply when I tried the 1st way & then when I did it correctly and I didn't even complain, I simply made note of it.
I have no desire to derail the cbt thread into my personal feelings about ppl being rude, or not replying or, as in your case keep telling me what I'm doing wrong even tho I made it clear I knew how to do a pm. But the complaints being voiced to me, like yours, are not being sent to me as PMs AS THEY SHOULD BE, no, they are being sent to the public thread so I'm responding in-kind. And I'm not doing any complaining, just reacting to your comments. All I wanted to do was backup cbt based on past long term shutdowns. A few ppl have given good ways to do it but don't cover the limitations I stated having. I asked a few semi technical questions about how I might overcome those limitations but so far they didn't get answered.
I intended to send this as a pm but if you're not extending the same courtesy to me, by not sending your comments about me as a PM, then I'm just responding on the same platform you chose to complain about me. Also, if you don't like the length of my posts, why read them in the 1st place? There really isn't anything else needs to he said about it, but if you still have the need, I ask you to please use PM as I was asked to do. After all, fair is fair. Just like I stated to the original guy who became unnecessarily rude to me about the thumb drives, I told him I was done responding to him and would not post anymore about his issues w/me....and I DIDN'T. So I was done w/it, but then, AFTER I said that, there were about 3 ppl complaining about me not using PM. They ALSO did not use PM. In other words, seems if there's a complaint, instead of taking their own advice to use PM, they rather deride me publicly. That's not fair.
I have nothing more to say about any of this here on this cbt thread. I promise to keep it about cbt if I have anything further to say and if anyone continues to have a problem with how I do stuff, I'll be sure to either use PM or ignore. I want to respect the thread. Hearing me express that should be enough to show anyone who truly cares about the thread, as opposed to getting on my case publicly, that I don't wish to mess the thread up. Please use PM for further issues a/me, not cbt.
Thankyou and my apologies for things getting this way.
I see a bunch of likes so not everyone sees things the same.
