So many 'help me' threads that I didn't actually post.

Post by Jaxion08 »

About 4 or 5 times now as I've been working on my skin I've come to this site and started to type out a really in depth explanation of what I was trying to do and what the problem was, only through explaining it I stumbled across an idea for a solution, checked the documentation to figure out how to implement the idea, then closed the tab before posting. Looks like I basically made this account just to have a text input box for me to hash things out and then never hit the submit button. I wonder if this is a common experience.

So yea, don't know what the point of this thread is really, and I kinda doubt I'll ever really be active on this forum, just thought it was funny and maybe I should go ahead and actually post something for once :D

I have the same thing sometimes. There've been a few times I was in chat thinking about how to pose my question, and in the process of doing that discovered the solution on my own. Some of my questions were simply unencumbered by the thought process.

Now the good news.
I lied, there isn't any good news...
