I have many times... My eyes have glazed over and I'm tierd of reading
it. I turn to the Baja Discussion sub when I get tierd, or just don't
understand it. I appologize for the simplicity of my questions, but I have
read the docs many times, I guess I skipped over this particular area. I will
go through them more closely in the future. I don't want to bother anyone. I
have no proir programming knowledge and I tend to come here for expert advise.
I am in no way an expert at programming, I am simply a novice if that. I
appreciate all your help, and I in no way want to be an annoyance.
I run a BBS as a hobby, as many of us do, and I just find it fun to be
able to mess around with the BBS and all its features that Rob has put into
them. Sometimes, I just need a little help that's all, more than the Docs can
give, and I know the answer is usually there, it's just a lot easier when one
is tierd to come here for the expert knowledge. I know a lot of you code for a
living, and I have been working on this particular Baja module for a few days
and have put in a lot of my spare time and hours with it. I am sure it's
something that would take the experts 10 min to write, but not me, it's a
challenge, and sometimes, I just need a little help getting it to go in the
direction I want to.
I appreciate DOVE-Net for this reason, without it, I wouldn't have found
the answer so quickly to a lot of my problems. I have been told many times to
"read the docs" and I have, believe me. I just come here as a last resort, and
what may seem very simple to you, may not be so to me. I don't claim to be all
knowing or even to be very smart as many of you are. I just want to have
a little fun that's all.
But, I promise, I will try and find the answer in the Docs before I come
here and ask in the future. I really do appreciate all the help that everyone
has given me. And, as I said, I in no way want to be an annoyance.
Sincerely,
\\/
