A personal appeal

[shaunk]

Pete - may I request through your forum some personal assistance should anyone be willing & are based in the UK. I no longer have the time to resolve the issues related to the above topics & I have spent an inordinate amount of time trying to resolve these issues & not actually doing any flying! Forums can be very helpful - my issues have been compounded by my apparent lack of knowledge of the computer & the interface with flight sim & the add ons - I am just not able to enjoy the hobby we all feel so passionate about. Many thanks -a grateful Shaun.

I think you will need at least to say what the "issues related the the above topics" are, because there aren't any mentioned before this in this thread. Are they anything to do with any of the products covered by this forum at all?

He's put "FSUIPC The weather Fsx PMDG Aircraft" as tags at the top, Pete. They're not very clear. I'll ask Miguel to speak to the tech types about that.

Thanks, but ... not very clear? I don't see them at all? I scroll up and down the three message now in this thread and there's nothing like that showing anywhere!

Even if i could see them I'm afraid they don't help much to explain what problems he needs help with.

FSUIPC The weather Fsx PMDG Aircraft

I've asked Miguel to take a look at it and talk to technical.

Oh, those things looking a bit like buttons pointing left? They don't exactly explain what the OPs problems are though, do they? ;-)

Are those instead of the subtitles we used to have? Perhaps I can use them for noting when I post updates in the Download Links subforum, as now there aren't subtitles it isn't obvious when they change. I don't know how to generate those at present. I'll have to have a look.

No, they don't. We need a lot more information from Shaun to be able to offer any sensible advice.

The buttons are "tags". If you press them, in theory, you get a list of other posts which have the same tags. It may be a useful tool, but most people don't use it, so it's a little bit wasted.

Yes, and meanwhile we've lost the subtitles, which I was using to announce FSUIPC and other updates to avoid breaking folks' links by changing the thread titles instead, as I used to.

I'll try setting a descriptive tag and see if that works.

[LATER]

Done. It's better than nothing, but, as you say, easy to miss. Also, though it says I can have up to 10 tags, and I put 6 against the "Updated modules" thread in order to state the latest version number of each important module, it only displays the first two in the thread list.

It would be nice to have a tag or subtitle in the subforums titles too, so I can notify there when updated modules are posted.

Thanks

Pete
