Vista - How to ask for help

**roy69** · 09-20-2009

People being confused also gets them angry, not anyones fault but it is human nature. Give people a little bit of leaway when replying to a post. If someone does start to get a bit harrased tell them to calm down and explain in simpler terms or give them a web link to a written document that will explain things better.

When you ask for help on vistax64, your CD or DVD drive will open. You must insert $20 if you want an answer. Insert $40 if you want the correct answer.

Warning!!

Believing this could be hazardous to your wallet, and DVD drive.

With that much I might as well buy vista all over again, I mean at 130 dollars right now my pc might upgrade itself. Does it take credit card too?...or where do I add my PIN...Lol

I agree with everything said here...it was a good thing to post this as a sticky for future reference...I even have it bookmarked for other software forums as a reference on how to make a good forum on technical issues.

Keep up the good work!!

Err...here's a question: Where should I ask questions regarding the forum itself, not Vista and the like?

**sygnus21** · 4 Days Ago

You could contact one of the moderators for questions concerning the forums

Okay then, here's mine: For a reason beyond me, I cannot send PMs. I've read the FAQs but they haven't been very helpful. I'm sure the reason is simple enough, but I would appreciate it if some one could tell me what it is.

Hi Lord Of Ages,
Try this -
Go to User CP - Your Control Panel - Settings & Options - Edit Options - Messaging & Notification - Private Messaging - Make sure there is a tick in the box " Enable Private Messaging" - Scroll to bottom of page & click "Save Changes."

Let us know how you go.
Good Luck.
