Your post says it all really. I do not wish nor will I get involved in discussing this much further, my reason for the comment was to point out in general the importance of following certain advise when provided or at least acknowledging it, but you express the sentiments above that really don’t tend to go down well , i.e “quick fix” , “I did not want to simply “try” any more fixes, I wanted to “implement” the correct fix”

Sometimes you are not going to find someone with the exact same issue or the perfect answer and that is where you will have to get involved in ‘trying fixes’.

That’s what you super knowledgeable non-newbs can do
and remember that you all – the non-newbs – have an important role sometimes: just to tell the newbs what to do because you can.

And pray explain to us why we should? Most of us started out with as little knowledge as you but step up and learn, every day I have to apply myself to things that I haven’t a clue about but have to study, read guides, become familiar with I do not expect nor ask that others do this for me or expect them to simply give me the benefit of their experience just like that, yes at times it helps but I always remember that first and foremost it is I that have to do the leg work and demonstrate that fact.

Manual installs? easy as pie, you needed to have attempted one , if you came unstuck or needed help with that you would have received it, but clearly it would have saved a lot of time.
