Amusing Support Requests you have received
 

What's your favourite?

Here's one I just got in a PM on another forum:

My response:

The usual practice is to click the File menu and choose the option called 'Save'.

I'd call more of them frustrating than amusing... :)

I ignore code-related PMs sent to me because they should be made in public (a la my signature).

Remember everybody has to learn at some time. It just makes you look far less intelligent when the poster can't even bother to capitalize, punctuate, and spell out words.

well for my customers i keep the requests in private, all other requests get deleted immediatelly normally

This one was totally random..never spoken to the person before.

When you become vB staff, you get them 10-400 times a day, 366 days a year

I answer everyone I get.


I refer them to Zach. ;)

dang, all the PMs i been getting is requests from people that dont know how to use the search or they dont even bother asking the creator of the hack to do something.

Regarding my most recent service request, I'm most amused how many are not even following the directions in the post. If you can't follow directions, you'll never do too well in a professional environment...

well my most common problem is asking about my permissions phrases for vB Journal... i just say look under fixes/updates. of course everyone ignores that section of my post>_>

I would like to get some code looked over for a members rides section we have going. We have it working just want someone to look over the code and see if we are missing something. However I would like to keep this code to us because we have a site that loves to copy everything we do. Basically after we do something they do it and its kind of annoying. I do not want them to have access to the code :( . So posting it publically on this site would do no good for me.

If anyone wants to look over the code and make suggestions let me know cause it would be nice. We have around 100 queries running on the list page right now. It loads fast just always good to have a second opinion.

If not that is cool I understand how you guys like to have all code public and share with everyone but I can't do that with this code. I do help others where I can.

The person entered that exact URL into his browser ... :D

What happens when there are only 365 days in the year ? :rolleyes: (like this year)

Its made up for, trust me ;)

Haha I like your style :laugh: :smoke:

Well not actually one i received, but one i did send this morning:
PS They are supposed to react in maximum 30 minutes, but it did work. I got 3 minutes later a mail back they where working on it, and server just came back a few minutes ago.
