5 or more 'Good' posts - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

I am very new to this site and indeed subject. I have spent quite some time reading through the threads and have a good idea of what I need to do to get my Pace box working again, after the recent messages that came up on it. My only problem is I now need to download the tools to allow me to go forth and attempt to rectify the situation, but need 5 good posts to get access. Unfortuantly until I make mistakes at the next stage I have little to say! the threads are quite varied and contain all the questions I would ask without knowing the issues I face.

Therefore the only question I need the answer to is: can I get access to the downloads without wasting your time by writing a further 4 posts?

I'll move this to feedback so that it frees up space on the cable boards for questions directly about boxes...

As for making a couple of posts - just throw yourself in.

The posts don't have to be particularly "good" - it's simply that we've had a couple of people rush out to post "Me too!" 5 times, which just reads as spamming.

So feel free to make a couple of posts - hopefully it's not too hard, but if you're not sure, you can always try the lounge...

Hi Doug

Your using a PC to be at TechWatch if you have any questions about your PC how it runs ? make it run faster ? more efficient ? post any PC questions in the relevant forum.

Had the same situation, it's tought to post when you don't know much about the topic yet! So I went off to a couple of other boards.

Anyway, now I have 6 posts or so, I can't see the download section anywhere. Should it be automatic or does a moderator have to approve me somehow before this happens? (If so I'll let you off as it is 3am

).

This topic is not relevant anymore, as there is no longer a requirement to have a certain amount of posts to see any of the forum.
