    Default what am I doing wrong??

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    First of all I'd like to say I find CADTutor a MASSIVE help when it comes to searching for answers, whenever I google an issue I am almost always directed to your site. However I posted my first 2 threads the other day and have yet to recieve a single reply! I can see a lot of people have looked at them however not one responce with advice, these were:
    • How do I change the material/image applied to an object in AutoCAD 2012?
    • Missing workspace & ribbons after installing AutoCAD 2012
    So my feedback is it would be great to get some feedback myself on what I am doing wrong, I struggle to find many other questions raised that haven't recieved a sigle responce! If I am not following the rules, or if my question isn't worded correctly, or even if nobody knows! If someone was to let me know instead of wondering if I have broken some sort of code of conduct that would be a great help.

    Many thanks

    Don't take it personally. Since we are all volunteers sometimes that (a lull) happens. Patience.

    Re: workspace and Ribbon problems. I'd recommend trying the REPAIR option found in Windows > Add/Remove Programs. If you are running Win7 look first to Programs and Features. This will give you the option to uninstall or repair a program.

    As ReMark said, you are not doing anything wrong, it just happens that either there is a lull in the responses or it could be noone yet have an answer to your questions. I took a look at them and have no answers.

    Have patience

    We are usually quick about saying when something is wrong, that you never have to wait for

    (the bearded smiley is just because. )

    Thanks for your understanding. I know for a fact that some forum members troll back through old threads specifically looking for ones that have gone without a response and have tried to make an effort to either answer them and/or to give them a *bump* so they reappear at the top of the list. Since there is no rhyme or reason as to when forum members will visit CT one cannot predict how much response or lack there-of a thread will receive.

    Huh? Uh, OK. That was Sunday morning here. I was still asleep. I see 'em now.

    Not knowing the answer though, I vote for trying Remark's idea first.

    Your posts are not disappearing, they are simply being moved to the thread in question. I figured you'd get the hint

    I could not resist, I have to make this post! .....

    What are you doing wrong? You're not giving me any money! like I said, i couldn't resist lol
    If you would like to help my 2 year old niece Alaina in her battle against Leukemia you can donate blood at any Carter Blood Care and put SPON050875 on the donor form. Thank you so much for any contributions in this matter that you can make.

    Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.
