AutoHotkey Community

While trying to get a good answer to a question,
all i have received in return is. Read the FAQ page, read this... read that and so on.
If you guys don't have an answer for a problem just say you don't, no shame in that.
Autohotkey can't do alot of things unfortunately, its not a matter of people not reading enough material on it.
I've gone through hundreds of topics on here and I see the same stuff again and again. I'll find another program to do what I need to do.
Good luck to anyone who is trying to get a real answer on here, because it simply won't happen.

You mean this posting? Macro

yeah along with hundreds of other postings.

You only posted two questions, both on the same subject, so what is this "hundreds of postings" you are talking about?

i'm saying that almost everyone who posts here gets the same answer.
"did you look at the FAQ?"

The point im making is you guys don't seem to really know how to use ahk in a real life situation. All the posts about remote desktop have not had any solutions to them. If you dont know, just say you dont know. Knock that chip off ya shoulder.

please daonlyfreez: don´t try to argue with him.
as you can see from his posts,
he is disappointed for not getting pre-chewed food.
you can´t expect him to be rational in any way, let him go.

nickj.... : i suggest using autoit, they have a forum, too
http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?

and mod, please move to general chat

i just wanted an honest answer not prechewed food.
and I'm not really disappointed, more or less pissed off
cuz you wasted my time.
Hows that for being rational

again, mod please move to general chat

why the hurry in getting it moved.
Maybe the mod wants to leave it so people can see
how this forum can be a complete waste of someone's time.

No, they don't. And let's look at your initial question from the Macro thread:



That indicates to me and most of the other people here that you haven't checked the tutorial/manual, as these are almost the first rudimentary tasks covered in the tutorial/manual. Only later did you explain your problem in further detail, which included trying to work through remote desktop.

The point is, we can only give you an answer that's as good as your question. Frankly, had you bumped the original thread rather than creating this thread to gripe, someone may have spotted it and been able to help.

At any rate, try this and see what it does:

What's the point in moving this to General Chat? His complaint has to do with the quality of the help being received in the Ask for Help forum, if we are to appropriately address this issue (and in addition help him if possible) it should remain in Ask for Help. Let's not be so quick to jump the gun.

Ok, you are probably right.

I like your suggestion to go to the AutoIt forums instead.

Let's see how fast he comes crawling back after he receives the treatment newbie-users normally get at the AutoIt forums.

at some point, i agreed with nickjerzey311

its just like first day in a new school, no one wants to get an answer "DID U EVEN READ THE HANDBOOK FOR MAP" when one asks for directions to the bathroom.
obviously, its a dumb question for regular students, but sometimes newbies just need a little push towards the correct direction.
we dont need to carry newbies to the bathroom, just a simple pointing should be enough. whether or not that person uses the bathroom correctly, thats another issue, but please dont encourage ppl to quit and go to another school/forum
we are a big family here, other than pointing newbies to read the FAQ, or questioning if they have read the FAQ (obviously not, if they are asking straight forward questions)
we can create a better environment and mood if we further point out specifically what commands to look for in the FAQ

on the other hand, for newbies, u guys have responsibility to read instructions too. i understand u guys just want some codes right away and move back on ur game play or whatever u are doing, but thats not programming sites do. think of it as doing a homework assignment, and we are the teacher/teacher assistance. its easy for us, so what? it just doesnt make sense for us to do it for u, and give u the answers, right? Certainly most of us are willing to help. just try to stay calm and ignored those RTFM replies. try the suggestions that ppl suggests, and post whatever is not working in ur script is a good way to get further help

so in the space of 2 days:
you double posted your problem
titled one of them simply "macro" (which could nearly describe anything)
didnt explain your problem well
didnt spend the time to learn the basics first
got pissy that people pointing you in the right direction hadnt bent over and done it for you?

No, you sir are the garbage!

...but how can I stay mad when your reference to 311 makes me giggle derisively so much!?!

These people answer a lot of questions, how ever I've been inactive for a long while and dunno if trolls has affected them.... but seriously

DID YOU READ THE FAQ?
