General Announcement : MX04 vs. MX

[red penguin]

General Announcement

If I am perusing the "ActionScript 2.0" Forum, I am indeed assuming that anyone posting in there is using MX04.

If I am perusing the "Flash MX And Lower" Forum, I am assuming that anyone posting in there is using Flash MX.

Please post your questions in the appropriate place. I have been seeing more and more posts of users posting in the AS 2.0 Forum and then someone is kind enough to attach a .zip but then the user replys with something like:

unfortunately I couldn't open the .fla, I was getting an unexpected file format message

Well, OBVIOUSLY the .zip contains an MX04 file format since you posted in this forum and thus, you, dear user, have posted your question in the incorrect Forum.

Just a friendly reminder...
Thank you for your time...

now why would you assume that? hehhehheh

[CyanBlue]

Yeah... We cannot really assume anything at a time like this... :(

I am doing what I can do to move the threads to the right forum, but there is limit I can do myself... I think we need to be more deligent and move the posts to the right place... Though there still is limit to do that... :(

I think we should ultimately say that post your question to the right forum or you'll be sorry for that... :p

At least one additional reminder when posting a new thread would be nice...

@tg: I did think twice about 'assuming', but geez....I have to believe there is SOME intelligent life out there, don't I?

@CyanBlue: Common sense should prevail. If a Forum is marked 'CheeseSteaks', I'm not going to ask a 'Vegan' type question in there, am I?

Perhaps I am being stubborn here and don't want to believe that people (users in general) are just plain stupid. Case in point: Button says 'SUBMIT' and the user asks me, "How do I get the results?".

~slaps forehead.

Common sense, people. Let's put our thinking caps on.

[CyanBlue]

Yeah... I know... But we all know that not many people actually try to use their commen sense here... :(

[Ricod]

Intelligent life ? On this planet ? (did I inhale too much oxygen again ?)

[tg]

maybe we need a [wrongfileformat] tag like we have for [ crosspost ].
it could say something like:

you have posted a mx2004 file in the mx forums. please replace this attachment with the appropriate file type, or move your ass over to the correct forums

[CyanBlue]

I think [fart] should describe that tag line better... ;)

[red penguin]

hahhhaaaaaaa !

good idea, tg.

[farafiro]

same as Cyan here
got sick from moving wrong threads to the right forums
maybe we can buy and use this:

An AS programmed robot to hunt down crossposters and wrong file format uploaders ? That`s a bit ... drastic don`t you think ? I`d rather tag I guess.

[CyanBlue]

I think that's the perfect purpose of that toy, my friend... :D

Now, go program that baby in AS, farafiro... :)

[farafiro]

lol, who me
ask some gurus like yourself and or tg,red, pixel,..................... and all the other members here

[CyanBlue]

Yeah... I meant you, my man... :)

[farafiro]

[CyanBlue]

Um... Who else if you are not??? I am mortal and you are not... :)

[farafiro]

[pom]

Will you stop throwing flowers at each other? :D

- Hey, you're the man.
- No, you're the man.
- No, no, really, YOU are the man.
- Nahhh, come one, you know it's you.
- ...

[CyanBlue]

Hm... It sounds like the next one we are going to hear is pretty much 'would you marry me' type of words, eh??? :D

[Ricod]

Is that a hint CB ? Oh, how wonderful the little scripts must be you two can code together ...

[farafiro]
