POSTING 101

Urgh, it went to 720p...Dunno why it won't go full 1080 - Might be because I recorded at a 1920x1040 resolution instead os 1080...MIGHT be that, which messed it up...oh well...for those with big motniros...it CAN be understood...but its a bit fuzzy...for those on 1280x1024...it's fine

Perhaps I should work on a how-to "dummies guide" style tutorial for posting to the DC forum, complete with screenshots?
I am not being sarcastic. It's actually one of those things I am quite good at. I can simplify basic algebra to the level the average 5 year old can understand. :D

Any relyable help or guide would be useful, app103, if it's pinned and locked.

@app103
I guess it shouldn't be locked until after it's been tried or tested by us dummies. How else could you get feedback... right? :huh:
I know, firsthand, how hard it is to outline all the steps... to do something... especially if I have done 'it' a million times. Sometimes I leave out a step or have them in the wrong order or skip a key-word or some/all of these. :-[ ... which makes the learning-process, for the person, even harder. (In my case... more daunting. :( )
And... once your guide has been perfected... maybe you could add it to the other pinned stuff in all the areas at DC; where people might need this How-To? :) ...just a suggestion

I am not even sure I would do it as a single forum post.
Perhaps it would work better as a locked thread, with the first post serving as a table of contents and each how-to as a separate post within the thread.
If I did it that way, it would have to be locked, to prevent misc. non-tutorial posts from cluttering the thread.
Another alternative would be a single stand alone page, linked to in the first post of a thread, and the thread remaining open for comments, suggestions, and questions.

You know how to do this way better than me, app103, I'm still trying to comprehend what you just said. ;D My whole post was more of a suggestion... than a comment... to give you something to chew-on; before you started your Guide.
I'm pretty sure... whatever you provide... or however you handle it will be Okay. :)
