Popular Misconceptions?

[soup]

What are the most popular misconceptions you have seen on this forum?

I will start it off with one I have seen on a regular basis since my short time here.

(Example) I have been burning with Dvd Shrink for a while now but lately it won't burn anymore.I don't know what to do please help?

"Dvd Shrink does not burn".

i dont think posting/collecting "strange" phrases here will help much

if at all one might add the answers/corrections as well, what do you think?

[NightTran]

most newbies dont read all the sticky before ask question, it would be nice if I can see my first question here , to see where I was compare to other newbies

[UncasMS]

readin ALL of them may be asked too much, but using the search function should be a MUST

Not everyone that makes it to this site knows how a forum operates. People may have found their way here by Googling. Patience is always needed when guiding people to the answers they seek.

I myself found these forums by searching on google for "DVD Decrypter Guide", as Zero G said. But I still came knowing enough about using 'Search' features of web sites. Even on Google using the 'site:' search command. But there are many people that just know how to turn on the computer, click a pictured icon, and that's it. Those of us to stuck with command line user interfaces (dos) referred to these kind as 'Vidiots'. But I do agree with Zero G that, in the ever popular words of that great tai kwon leap instructer.... "Ed Grooberman.. you must learn patience!".

Click on someone's avatar to bring up their profile. Then you click on "Find all threads started by"... they're sorted newest to oldest.

If you use the advanced searching - you can set the dates you want to use.

@UncasMS post#2 I agree.

@UncasMS maybe you could give an example of what you mean & let us see if we can take it from there?After all I want this thread to be informative to those who are going to view it not only just now but also later as well.

"Misconceptions"
That all the people with low post counts dont use the search options, maybe they just want newer answers.

nobody said:

ppl with low post counts dont use search engines

but ppl asking the very same question that somebody else has already posted in the very same thread hrs/days before dont use the search engine and i'd vote for an auto-24h-disabling-posting-function ^_~

[NightTran]

when I first came I did not know how to use the search engines, but I read alot of stiky and infor under Blu's sig, I always search for a whole answer not just a movie itself.
