content: Very good way of starting friendship on this forum.Halcyon is a moderator here and rightfully locked your apparently now removed duplicate thread. Asking questions here is fine, but asking the same thing in different sections is frowned upon.So best not to be a dick and follow the few simple rules this forum uses.

content: Quote from: papadance on October 24, 2024, 02:35:28 pmIf you don't get a reply to your questionafter two days or so, and the thread gradually sinks down the list of topics, it is ok to give it a little "bump, can anybody help?" via a new postin the same thread. Once. If you still don't get a reply, the the question is probably either too specialised, or is off-topic in this forum.It isnotacceptable to open a new thread with the same question. It just causes a mess when people start replying in both threads. Or it annoys people twice with an off-topic question where once would have been more than enough.I don't know how many threads you had open on this BIOS question, but I still see two (one of them locked). So obviously there were and still are duplicate threads, and it is good that one of them is locked.

content: Quote from: ebastler on October 24, 2024, 05:40:54 pmIts a very specialized BIOS hacking question which I doubt many people here know anything about.There are dedicated BIOS hacking forums that would be better places to ask, AFAIK.

content: Quote from: ebastler on October 24, 2024, 05:40:54 pmVery good move to take the time and explain something. Much better than simply telling that he is going to be banned or how easy that is. That way, it will become evident soon if the objectionable action is error or ignorance. While I do not like the attitude of the first post in this thread, I would like to advocate the idea that someone new deserves another chance. I did not look at the actual question and think it does not matter if it would fit better to a different forum.

content: Quote from: thm_w on October 24, 2024, 09:54:53 pmYes, it's likely this.It's rare that someone on this forum can't help out on a technical question, but this example is about as specific niche as its gets.
