    Sub threads?

    Is there a way we could have subthreads by brand?
    i.e.

    Printers
    HP
    Lexmark
    Epson
    etc...

    It would be simpler if people who posted just provided useful data up front, eg;

    operating system and service packs
    mobo manufacturer and model
    psu manufacturer and size
    hard drive manufacturer and type
    cd/dvd manufacturer and model
    northbridge
    southbridge
    sound on board/card
    graphics on board/card
    modem
    network


    You can get a lot of this if you use a program like Everest Home or Aida32

    Also, what you have done recently or just before the failure.

    That would be great wouldn't it? Now all you have to do is get the posters to a) see how the board works, b) read the screen, c) click the right manufacturer...

    I honestly think mods would be moving posts left right and centre. Relying on posters to get the right sub forum and then find out it's actually an OS problem would serve to confuse.

    Agreed, but most users don't remember what they had for breakfast let alone all that lot!! How many users do you know have any idea what the southbridge is? And why would the southbridge info be relevant when they want a driver for a printer?
