I have respectful request for my fellow forum users.
Before creating a thread, can you please do a quick search to see if a thread on that subject already exists before you create a new one?
The jitters problem is a prime example. I understand if you want to emphasise your problem and you think a new thread is a way to highlight the issue.... but it's really not helpful in finding a solution. Many people have tried solutions, found they work, posted about the solution... and it just gets lost because there are so many threads to look though.
And even if that solution doesn't work, it's much easier to discount it and establish the correct solution when it's contained in the same thread. At the very least, it's so much easier to track down a common cause... or more likely the combination of causes when you can follow a single thread which everyone can contribute to.
Edit. here's an example of how a post can be edited to show useful information provided by additional contributors 🙂

lol I did indeed... but in 2 different section, I figured some people with the jitters will default to the support section without necessarily looking at all the discussions... but at the same time my post relates to all subjects so the general section also seemed a good idea!
but yes, it looks like I'm a hypocrite now!!

Thanks for your input shiari, can't work out whether you're agreeing with me or not.
But at least it's bumped the post to the top so won't get lost just yet. Happy wading.

@UBSERD, if you'd read my post, it explains why having a single thread on any given problem helps to solve that problem because it's the best way to find what the common issues are or what has been tried and doesn't work, it's not about who has a perfect Rift or not.
Just trying to be helpful, sorry if that isn't clear.

Well... all the perfect Rift owners don’t want the forums cluttered up with issues of others. They’d rather actually enjoy their Rifts and pretend all is sunshine and rainbows and I understand that. The thing is the more people see these things the better. Some of us have been dealing with this for very very long time.
shiari said:Your plea won't solve anything, except you did manage to create an additional two threads on this forum that people have to wade through, potentially having to filter it out in a search result ... so yeah ... :smile:

No one has time to read through pages and pages of a thread to find useful information.
