Or the dreaded “here’s a quick step-by-step solution in these screenshots” followed by every single image link being dead/purged/removed by forum moderators.

And this is exactly why I refuse to be that person. I go back to my old posts and do a full write-up on how I fixed the issue. Hell, in many cases I’ll even post step-by-step screenshots in a follow-up comment, (though I’ll still explain everything in detail, in case the forum purges the images some day in the distant future.) If I had to do some basic scripting for the fix, I’ll include the script with full comments and sources cited for how the script works.

Hell, in some cases I’ve even included .bat files as attachments, (in a separate standalone comment, in case forum mods get twitchy about scripts being shared and delete the comment) along with instructions on how to use them (or how to modify them for your own use.)

My hope is that the comments can be a lighthouse for some lost and lonely person who is struggling. Because I’ve been there, and I know exactly how frustrating the “fixed it, never mind” comment is.

All those people who purged their Reddit accounts better have just been shitposters..
