Yep!....as in 'A little knowledge is a dangerous thing'....but you soon get to spot the 'wannabes' from the ones with the true talent who not only have the technical know-how, but also the ability to communicate patiently, and at the appropriate level.

I never get annoyed at bad advice as such, because there is always the option open to you, to Private Message the Member who you believe has been put crook by 'top-of-the-head' advice.

If I ever feel the need to follow this path, then I will also suggest to the Member to read a few posts by 'Mentor' Members [eg Brink, Dwarf, AirBot, etc. etc.] and that way, get them to make their own choice of names of Members who they feel can be relied on for sound advice. ;)

i was a long time "viewer" of this forum before i joined , it helped me alot in my early vista days , i always found what i needed via the search function

when i felt i had something to contribute i joined up and started trying to help , i look over them every day now mainly picking on problems that have had no reply's , i dont see the point in interfering in a thread that already has 3 or 4 members trying to help it just gets confusing for the thread poster ............ and sometimes bad advice annoys me ;)

Would you step in with an alternate approach to the problem at this stage?

There is never enough help in the world. Everyone should help when they see an opportunity to... It's never gonna hurt someone. Even if you try to help, but you end up creating more problems, nobody should dislike you, because you had good intentions.

I also like joining threads that aren't too far in to the problem/solution. Maybe it's just me, but I like to help someone in need, and help him/her through it until it's solved...

Oh, and Avatar is the best show ever!!!

I don't own a DS. Though I heard about a game for the Wii. And an upcoming movie.... I think they'll both ruin Avatar for me. I don't plan on trying/watching either.

Re: Joining Vista Forums is done voluntarily!!

Hey Guys,

Let's not forget that the "Viewers" are Guests, and as such are most welcome to freely 'view' all that goes on [with a couple of exceptions] at Vista Forums [or at Windows SevenForums for that matter].

Remember too, that if someone decides to join Vista Forums, then it is an act done without coercion, in a voluntary manner, and many times they 'the Newbies' are welcomed in as Members.

More often than not, a Member joins as an act of sheer desperation, having failed elsewhere to get any resolution to problems that may have been plaguing them for days, and sometimes weeks.

It is the understanding and assistance freely given, which they, 'the Newbies' receive in their desperation, that often leads to them also becoming valuable Members of our community, where with time, they too contribute in assisting others.

So please, put away the begging bowls. All arm-twisting ever did was cause bruises. ;)
