Just because its older than 2 days doesnt mean you cant reply to it...

And most people dont have to use the link at the bottom, because they've set their own personal defaults through their user cp, so their prefered age of threads are automatically displayed for them.

Quite many, o' ruddy.

Man, I'm really banging my head into a brick wall here. It's not about ME finding my own thread, it's about OTHERS being able to see it! Get it? For crying out loud, you'd think I'm trying to teach brain surgery.

But others can see it... all they have to do is click the link at the bottom to change the age of threads they want to see. This seems pretty obvious to me, and apparently many of the other people who use the forums because we've never had complaints about "not being able to see old threads" before.

EDIT: Also,



It sure as heck sounds like it started out as you not being able to find your own thread.

Okay, I'm done.

I obviously can't get my point across so I give up.

If "everyone" can see it, then how com no one figured out the answer? Are you telling me that out of all you so-called gamers that can "see" my thread, no one could help?

Jeez, I figured it out on my own and was just going to post it until I saw my thread was gone.

For anyone who cares, my original question was about loading mod levels in Outcast. Everytime I tried, the game would restart. It had me stumped for awhile but then I typed the mod in manually in the console and it worked. It also fixed the "setup/mods/load mod" option.

Thanks for all the help.

Maybe you missed my post/point, but by doing this, you'd raise your thread to the top of the page, thus allowing the other forum members to access it easily.

Just for good measure:


This thread sucks.

Yes, brilliant suggestion. Only I think nothing is more pathetic than seeing someone bump thier own threads. It's just sad. Maybe if there were more than 10 threads allowed on the tech page or had a shelf life of more than two days, people wouldn't be reduced to bumping thier own stuff.

Lol, nice observation shintock. I concur.

I dont think its pathetic. A simple "help please" or "does anyone have an answer to my question?" not only serves the purpose of keeping your thread active, but lets others know that you are still trying to solve your problem.

I hear ya, it's just not me. I'd rather just ***** and moan.

Also, you seem to be assuming that just because you don't have time to check for answers to a question that you answered that we don't either. I for one check the tech forum every day. If I see a thread I have an answer to I post on it, and if I can't answer it I don't.

And as for your argument that other people should be able to see answers to other people's problems, that's what the SEARCH FUNCTION is for.


Why, oh why did I just post in here?

I think the problem with your thread is that you posted it in the wrong forum to begin with... all of the nonsense replies were made before it was moved to the correct forum, and that kind of killed your thread. Yes, unfortunately some of our members feel that its ok to post junk on threads that they know are either going to be closed or are in the wrong forum... but this can be fixed by making sure you have the correct forum to begin with.

I also suggest you take a look at the forum rules. You've already broken a few rules, such as posting huge images without resizing them, and evading the swear filter. I dont want to see you banned because you havent read the rules.

Generally, things can be a bit crazy on the Massassi forums, and the best way to get along sometimes is to just chill out and go with the flow.

Yeah, I'm done ranting.

To be honest with you, when I came here to post my question, I saw how dead the tech board was and made the concious decision to post it here because this board was busier. I wasn't that bummed when it got moved, so be it. What bummed me out was when I came back and my thread was hidden.

As far as avoiding the swear filter, I didn't know that was a rule. Thats just common practice everywhere else I post. Plus, you have to read it in context. I wasn't calling anyone a biotch, just using it as a suitable substitute for 'complaining', which, after re-reading my thread, I realize was totally appropriate.

To anyone I might have offended in this thread, I'm sorry. We coo'?

Of course

Thanks, I was being a pretty big tool there for awhile.

Plus, I didn't know that DS was a admin til I just read the forum rules. Man, thanks for your patience. I would've probably banned me, lol.
