It depends what issues you are experiencing :)

I'm sure that people will be looking into them, it may just be that nobody can think of a solution at this particular time :)

As well as this you need to remember that all the forum members are volunteer's, we all have lives outside the forums :) Hope this answers your question (if only a little)

Whatever you do post one problem at a time.

Flash and firefox are playing real nice for me.

Post a question, and we'll do our best to answer it. I can give no more than that.

Well done for your stickability. Sometimes patience is a good thing; if you want a reply to your questions, try not to start a new thread when your patience is wearing thin: chances are someone will have seen your question. It can get confusing when someone asks the same question twice, and has two discussions going about solving the same problem.

It looks to me as if most of your threads have been answered.

Of the four that haven't, two were posted within the last hour, and two have something to do with a tatung tablet (whatever that is).

I don't see the problem.

Linux is NOT Windows (http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm)

The above link changed the way i looked at linux and FOSS. Also, i've noticed that u hv not read e-books or websites on Linux/Ubuntu. They'll also be of real great help!!

Plz improve ur punctuation and decrease ur mistakes. i found it difficult to read the post made by u.

Plz improve ur punctuation and decrease ur mistakes. i found it difficult to read the post made by u. Do you know if the poster's first language is English.

What does u hv mean? Is it some esoteric language for youth?

[Joeb454]

I think it's "you have" ;)

Though I agree with overdrank and forestpixie - it just gets difficult to read posts when people post using "internet speak" as I call it.

I saw somebody's sig once that said "If you type 'plz hlp me' because it's easier to type - I'll type 'no' because it's easier to type than 'yes'" :p

i hate internet speek and have not used it cannot see what you are on about u hv i cannot see this in my post. my spelling isnt brilliant,i am also disabled and have probs with keyboard sometimes,sorry about that.just updating this post i noe have flash working with opera 9.5 but the opera fit to width does not work which is a new problem, another item i left out is i also cannot get the network to work, any help with any of these problems would be great as i just cannot face going back to windows.
i am sure eventualy i will get them all working just have to keep trying.Thanks everyone for your help so far. andrew

[forestpixie]

I certainly wasn't aiming my post at you and in fatc understood what you were trying to say. My post and I assume overdranks too was aimed at the

part of another post.

So I hope that clears that little thing up. I'm constantly amazed by the level of english posted here by, for instance those whose first language isn't English, and wish that I had a facility for learning new languages.


#I have had a look at your threads - I can't help much I'm afraid, but I do see that the opera flash thread is solved - could you mark it as such, stops people looking to help if there's no need.

Try also not to tack new problems on to the end of a post- especially if you've made a thread for it - no one knows what the threads about if you do that :)
