Questions Forum

[flaccopoe]

May I suggest that you merge [color="#800080"]Questions[/color] with [color="#800080"]Feedback[/color]? A lot of the threads in [color="#800080"]Questions[/color] would fit in [color="#800080"]Feedback[/color]. The Ravens-related [color="#800080"]Questions[/color] should be put in the [color="#800080"]Ravens Fans Unite[/color] section. This would save bandwidth, wouldn't it? Or at the very least, it would increase efficiency.

We need "Questions" singled-out for the newbies. They have a hard enough time figuring things out. The separate forum makes it a bit easier on them.

The [color="#9932CC"]Feedback[/color] subtext says it welcomes questions. Anyway, the [color="#9932CC"]Board[/color] isn't that complicated: I for one grasped its mechanisms pretty quickly.

Not everyone is as computer-literate as you.

What's up with the question in the Feedback forum? Am I missing something? I thought these two were separated for a reason.

Haha, not really - the board is easy enough to use if you're adept with computers, the internet, and such. But, as we've all seen, some aren't.

Trying to teach my grandfather how to check his e-mails is hard enough lol

Better than my dad. My dad is a high up at Marriott but has never turned on a computer in his life. He still does it old school, through personal relations. Makes fun of us "computer people."

Ofcourse he does have a secretary that prints out the 10 most important emails of a day. So technically hes still using technology even though its not him.

I'm not that much of a computer wizard, actually.

Even still, a little knowledge is a lot more than none. You'd be surprised at the people out there who find this world overwhelming, we're just here to help.

Oh no. My Dad takes full memory cards out of his digital camera and puts them in a shoe box like an old roll of film. Then he buys a new memory card. It hilarious.

[Moderator 2]

Are you serious? My dad got a digital camera on a cruise because he had a ships store credit for an inconvenience, my son was messing around with it and dad yelled at him for using up his film lol I just shook my head. I usually shoot about 200 pics between tailgate and the games, he doesn't understand how I can afford it Dad is an engineer too.

Sadly, yes. Sounds like our Fathers are cut from the same old cloth, lol.

Yes. Mainly of his fingers covering the lens, though. I try and pass them off as modern art.

I hope you've informed him of this error haha!

He's actually a retired bank president so he's far from stupid. He just refuses to allow himself to "get" technical stuff. He knows he's supposed to empty them but he just doesnt. He'd rather just spend money on another one. At this point in his life, he's allowed to be lazy as far as I'm concerned.

Some day, God-willing far in the future, I will be sifting through an old shoebox of digital memories, lol.

How heartwarming. Could we go back to the topic question? Otherwise, the moderators will close this thread. Sorry if this comes off as being snobby.

Hey, enough with the questions in the Feedback forum!

[berad]

Were you not satisfied with the answers we provided?

Questions are, inherently, different than feedback. The "Questions" forum is designed to be very broad, questions of board functions, Ravens tickets/games procedures, travel accommodations, etc. The "Feedback" forum is for posters to critic how the board, itself, works and offer suggestions to make things more efficient or point out problems.

They're two different beasts. Apples and oranges.
