Possibly this thread could be placed in the "New Person" thread? Linkety

Oh, and the forum's descriptions could be capitalized and such. That would be nice for those of us with OCD. :D
They have drugs for that...

Which would probably help you out quite a bit more than a little forum editing.
 
By the way, you are welcome to post "i need help" questions in whatever forum covers the topic of the question, e.g., "Mac Applications" for an iCal problem, "iPod/iTunes Discussion" for an iTMS question, etc. In fact, that's preferred when it is forum-topic specific.

Having "Mac Basic and Help" under "Mac Hardware" is another clue that we don't expect all questions to go there.

The "Mac Basics and Help" forum is the catch-all forum for questions that don't have a more specific home. But it's not a big deal to sort them out this way so it wasn't worth having long-winded explanations to say all that.

Yes, I am quite aware of that. I am actually on some drugs already, and have also done a fairly extensive amount of behavior therapy. I hate taking drugs. I hate having to depend on something ELSE to make ME "normal." Especially because my faith in drug companies is rather shakey. Look up Serevent. It was a drug that I took for years but was pulled because people were dying from it-- which the companies own trials showed. My health is up to some greedy bastard. I feel really damn good about that one.

So y'know what? They do have drugs for that. Guess what? I've probably tried them. Guess what? THEY DONT ALL WORK. Life is better through chemicals, eh? Bullsh*t. Pure, too. Proof 200 for the Americans here who actually know how to measure proof, something I've known for years. Because I can't forget it. Because of no other reason.

I have a right to ask for a minor change. If it doesn't happen I'll just do what I have been doing-- avoiding that page. If it does happen, then great! What difference does it make to you? If you are truly obsessive compulsive about it being like that, then I can understand. But if not, why say it?

I don't like it when people make comments like that. :(

The forum subtitles are purposely lowercase (although not consistently) to deemphasize them compared with the forum titles, which use initial caps. But I understand how little things like that can bother people. I prefer to spell iPod shuffle and Mac mini with lowercase 's' and lowercase 'm' as Apple does, while most people seem to spell them iPod Shuffle and Mac Mini. But, for some reason, seeing Mac spelled MAC doesn't bother me. :confused:

Well.... this is what I meant:

MacRumors.com News Discussion
Comments, corrections, and opinions on MacRumors articles

Now, the 1st word is capitalized and the word "MacRumors" is consistent with the title. It could or it couldn't go with a period at the end-- technically, the subject is "Comments, corrections, and opinions" with predicate "MacRumors articles" but there is some leeway there.
 
I'm not sure if this was affected by the reorganization of the forums, but whenever I click on a username it always say's they are "offline" when in fact they are online.

Is that a bug? Anybody else see this?
