exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

In light of this post I have opened up the "noob questions forum". Where you can ask those questions you may live in fear of otherwise asking! We will try to not flame you down for being dumb, but no promises ;)

All we ask is you keep on a retro related topic and when you open a topic, write in the subject something useful relating to what your asking. Simply putting "I need help" gives nobody any idea clue what its about. At least put the computer you want help with and if possible a few words to summarise your question!

Please note this forum section is not intended for hardware diagnostics or in-depth help, use our HARDWARE ISSUES for that or our other more suitable sub forums.

I always say there is no such thing as a dumb question as we all have started somewhere learning as we go along. Having an area like this will be valuable to others starting out or new to fixing retro kit.

Posting detailed pictures of your issues helps too in your explanations and enables us to see the problems in detail.

Please remember to place your pics in-line on the forum as per this guide https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... =20&t=2357

I agree wholeheartedly on this. Asking questions can be intimidating when everybody else looks like an expert. So maybe we can be a little more polite to incoming friends and drop "dumb" from the title? :)
