      “Read the wiki” but the part of the relevant wiki page for the subject was removed years ago and the edit history was purged after the server ran out of disk space.

        Return to thread and complain that people are clueless and directing you to a useless resource. Mod locks thread and threatens you with a ban.

      Thanks! Nothing else worked at all, but that solution worked perfectly!

        I was promised an immortal repository of knowledge in my youth. Now most of my bookmarks are dead links and finding answers is just like your example half the time.

      Ugh, yes. I try to always remember to update with what I did to fix it. Although if I’m honest, what probably happens 95% of the time is I just forget about the post entirely.
