This forum is antiquated.

Edgewound, no I'm not kidding. Again, granted no inappropriate language allowed. Great. Also no personal party lines to toe here.

yes, seems the new kid needs to work a bit harder to fit in... 😉

folks who hang out here are generally well meaning, try to be helpful, and understand that being here is being part of a community, one that is pursuing a hobby that can bring a lot of joy/enjoyment, and where experience and knowledge matters in achieving something really good

so i think forum users - new ones - who get especially rude, nasty or just plain ’ol argumentative get a pretty poor reception by and large

a few notable exceptions of course, as in all online enthusiast boards... you know, every family has ugly drunk abusive uncles and cousins that are hard to dis-invite -- rest of us pretty just hold their noses and try to ignore, make the best of it

This new kid is a member of a few other forums as well. They’re all free...and far more functional.  The guy that designed the forum chimed in and I thanked him for his response. He passed it on to someone else that didn’t have the time.
Carry on...

@edgewound

Please don’t let the door hit you on the way out.  It is plainly obvious there is a poor fit here.  You should participate on other forums you enjoy more.
