When a problem is solved, please EDIT Subject line adding (Solved/Fixed) and include a good description of problem and Solution to fix for all to reference.

Thanks  

Good one, Mike - I don't know why that isn't just a common-sense thing for more people.  This thread could help bring the point up to people who haven't thought about it before.

Here's a similar thing, something like what Charlie posted - There'll be an issue, people are trying to help, then the OP comes back and says "Hey, I figured it out"--- and doesn't bother to say what the solution was.   Once in awhile I'll add a post, "That's great you figured it out.  Could you please post what the solution was so it can help other people who notice the subject of the thread?"---but I can't recall that ever yielding a follow up.  Oh well!

There are "hit and run" posters who run into a Forum needing and demanding an answer immediately, because, as the scenario often goes, "I have clients expecting a finished product in two hours!!!  I gotta learn how to use Sonar like right noW!!!" ( I love how many people who have "clients" seem to not know their software very well - uh-huh--"client" as in a girlfriend who wants a recording of herself singing)-- They'll get the info they need, and then they're out of the forum again, sometimes not saying thanks, often not editing their subject lines, and usually not posting info on the solution.

randy how true you are..theres only one thing that bothers me more..and i can understand some of it due to x1 having some bugs..but ive seen more than once an op post something like-"broken mp3 player"..so come to find out the op doesnt know you need to pay for the liecence after 30 days is up.
so the thread is left unchanged so the next time some sorry s.o.b is having a problem with his mp3 player hes got to sift through threads like that.

Hey, Mike.

Again, good points you make!
