Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?


Many of you ask others to advise you, but the answer to so many questions is system dependent.  Why don’t you post your system on your profile prior to requesting help?

I read as far as Toddsyr's instructions. Then followed the instructions.

The reason, and the only reason I haven't done it before, is that AG make it ridiculously difficult to find the place to do it! Before looking at toddsyr's post, I went to the LOGICAL place to find it, under one's profile - are you listening moderators? The method you've created here is maddness and not logical at all. It's like you're hiding it and actually DON'T want us to do it! Crazy!

Put an obvious link under our profile info, and not bury it somewhere illogical where no-one would look!

I am not a noob with computers, quite the opposite, and I used to build computers and websites for a living, so I have some experience, but where and how it's hidden is ridiculous.

Many MANY people are having the very same issue fiding the place, like eryoung2k above. And, Why MUST we post a photo of our sysytem?? WHY is that a requirement?

@jetter 

Your guess is correct. I have never bought or sold on here, as it seems like a mainly USA based forum, which is no use for me to buy/sell as I'm in the UK.

The reason why the mods should be motivated is becausde there's a LOT of confusion as to HOW to do it, as it's not logical where it's placed at the moment. Maybe if one goes from the classified section it may be obvious and logical, but from the main forum page/place it's burried, completely unecessarily so IMO. Why?

It also seems to be a problem for many forum members in general, as this is why this particular post exists - members are complaining that others do not post what their systems are. If it was eisier to find, maybe they would. I attempted to do it when I joined, but couldn't find the place, so gave up.

I did not say that posting one's system is a requirement; I said that the requirement for posting a photo of one's system seems unecessary, to my mind. Why is it a requirement? Why MUST there be a photo?

There are many illogical things to this site; eg. why can't our response to someone's post be placed directly below that post, so everyone knows what/who your response refers to, rather than being pages and pages away? We all don't live on this site 24/7, every second to post an immediate response. So far this has three pages, but if I want to respond to a poster on the 1st page, it appears here, at the very end = illogical. Almost all forums on this planet do it logically, but not here. Your post shows a time of 01:26pm. There is no such time as that - it is either 1:26pm or 13:26. 01:26 is in the AM. Pedantic that may be, but it's a point about the people who run this site.

@cleeds - Overall, I'd say this site functions satisfactorily and the standards on this site are just fine. Yes, there are always a a few who abuse this free site, but they usually don't last long. If you have issues with the site's functions or standards, why  not take your complaint to the moderators? They are typically quite responsive.

It does NOT function satifacorily, if you botherd to read all the many comments to the contrary. You, like the mods on this site, have your head(s) firmly in the sand. YOU may find it ok, but many, me included, do not. It IS arcaic like mc1969 says, but nothing is done - long standing members have left because of the lack of action by the mods. You/they don't accept what we are saying. The mods may be responsive, but they are dismissive in their responses. Issues can be fixed, but they don't bother, and that is not being responsive. Last page posting to a response is plain dumb - we're on page 4 now, but if I want to respond to a post on page one, it goes here, at the end = dumb and confusing. Every other forum on the planet does it right, why can't they fix it? Heads in the sand, that's why. The same goes for adding ones system. Why on Earth is it hidden? It should be accessed from ones profile - we shouldn't have to go digging around to find out where to include it.
