I have already started another thread for this. But I haven't for several days. The link is:

If you want me to put the problems directly here then let me know.

No need. If you ever do want to reactivate an issue that has been sitting idle, you may be better off simply adding a reply to your earlier thread. This will push it back up to the top of the postings. This process is known as "bumping" and sometimes, if you are bumping a thread the bumper might simply put the word Bump in their new post.

I have replied to your earlier thread there, to help maintain continuity.

Best wishes,

i think post "bumping" is perfectly acceptable after 24hrs? as sometimes posts get lost or overlooked.

I think registered bumps are quite ok after a day or two, or if a thread has dried out without a resolution. The original issue raised by this user is a perfect case of where I think bumping is acceptable. And this particular approach for starting a new thread is ok (especially, given that Jerry has provided a link to the previous thread), I just think that bumping might be more appropriate (since it maintains the continuity of the original thread).

It did use to frustrate me when an unregistered guest might bump a thread without even a comment. I could never tell what was going on, especially in a longer thread where other users would toss in additional questions. But this situation is different in every important respect, as far as I can see. The only problem which I could foresee is a user who bumps their post every hour or so. But we don't usually see that type of behavior (thank goodness).

Best wishes,
Bill mikkelsen

I have added stuff to the post over the past 2 or 3 days.
