As I said a while ago, Dr Keyboard has been part of my life since 1996; that's a very long while to put up with stupid questions. There is a saying that there's no such thing as a stupid question, but those who say it are wrong. The question is not stupid the first time, but it is when you ask it for the 7th time. The 13th time. When you keep on and on and on asking the same bloody question and DO NOT read the answers that you are being given. We're very British here on Dr Keyboard; no one calls anyone else stupid, not to their face anyway, and that isn't going to change. But what we are going to do is close topics when the question has been fully answered. We will NO LONGER go on and on repeating the same answers, quoting our replies back to you over and over again. If you find a topic in which you've asked a question is locked and that you can no longer post in it, it is because the question has been answered; go back, read the answers we've given - REALLY read them - and then think again, and yet again, before opening another topic or e-mailing or PMing the moderators and administrators to say your question hasn't been answered. Use the Search facility too first; frankly, there are now almost NO questions that we haven't already answered. And READ what is in front of you, in the error messages you receive and in what we say. And tell us about them. In the past 15 minutes scanning the new answers/questions posted in the past week or two there are SEVERAL where the admins have to ask 'What does the error message say?' or 'What do you mean it doesn't work'? Read your questions before clicking Post and ask yourself if you think you've given all the information you can. Read the guide in the very first forum on the board, even if you think you know how to ask a question. Please. Thank you to all of you for your support over the years. Welcome to the newer, less kindly Dr Keyboard. (This would be a good place to put a smiley if I didn't detest the bloody things).
