Re: Delete My Account?
Okay, after my reading this thread, you've got me feeling a little bit guilty. After all, I was kind of rude. I mean, if a newby who was using something like this for the very first time, asked me verbally about "account deleting," or anything, for that matter, chances are I wouldn't just rudely come out with, "Hey, they've got a search feature; use it!" I'd more than likely say something like: "Okay, this is how you do this...", talk them through the process of whatever it was that they wanted to know how to do, or in any case, just politely answer the question, not go off on somebody like I did. I like helping people out with things like this, even though I'm not a moderator, but regulars to some boards sometimes get annoyed with people asking the same questions over and over, especially if those regulars come to the boards every day. But, having been a newby myself a year ago, I can remember that I had questions that probably seemed really stupid or common-sense to regulars. I didn't know much of anything about HTML when I started using Runboard; I have to laugh at myself now...I had no idea what the header was! Actually, I started using Runboard because I found a board of interest to me while doing a search; I just happened to stumble onto it. It wasn't until about a month after I registered that I got interested in starting my own board, and I knew very little, maybe nothing at all, about HTML or CSS, which are both very important if you want your board distinguished from everyone else's. When I started on Runboard, I, probably like most of the newbies, simply thought it would be neat to discuss my interests with other people online. I did not come here in the very beginning with any intention of, "Hey, I think I'll whip up a message board."
Other people find a website like this and think it's cool, or maybe someone tells them about it and they think, "Hey, I just might check that out." They might not have any technical knowledge at all; they could just be seeing what the site is all about.
I apologize for being so rude. After reading my last post, that person will probably never come back again...well, since the question had something to do with account deletion, he or she might not be back anyway. Whatever the case may be concerning that, I didn't mean to throw stones; I was just annoyed, as a user, at seeing yet another "delete my account?" post.

A faith that is fervently grounded in Christ,
The hope that endures for all time.

Re: Delete My Account?
Understandable cfm518, we all have those moments. As you've confirmed we all have to start somewhere as a newb. I remember asking these same questions when I started. The staff was very patient with their help. One day I knew the answer to a question and I've been answering them ever since. Oh I still ask on occasion as I'm very dense when it comes to CSS & HTML.

Like Corey said, we all have those moments. The important thing is that you seem to have learned from this one.

Re: Delete My Account?
Absolutely!! Geez, I STILL ask totally out there questions, that I could easily use the "search" to find, "IF" I had a clue exactly "WHAT" I was trying to ask!
Honestly, sometimes....I know I have a problem, but I don't even know how to word what the problem is or even what the official name of the area is called.....so how can I search.
So I just go running to somebody or come in here and holler HELP!

Yes, it does help to know what keywords to search for.
