this forum needs to requier
members to post basic info
on there cherokee and state they live in

state

motor
auto or stick

 

Why should they "requier" that?

 

IN
2000
4.0
AUTO

why are we doing this ?

if you look to the left you will see were it says "my photos" and under that in my case "2000 cherokee" if you click that it tells you that info

 

IL
99 4 dr
4x4
a/t
4.0
most of this is in my sig
and to the left
or are you sayin don't ask for help with out info on what it is to be fixed ?

 

Yes, that is what he is saying. It does get frustrating when someone asks a question, and we need that info to give them an answer, and they don't provide it.

I don't think we can require it though, but most should know that they need to put the info in the post in order for us to help!!

 

I do not believe the forum should REQUIRE the info but it should be stressed that members fill out the info in thier profile so it can be displayed.

This way when they post questions about thier XJ, fellow members can easily see if its either a Renix-era, 4.0L, 4-banger, etc.
This will allow a more informed reply and quite possibly a CORRECT answer to thier question...faster.

 

yeah i dont think it should be required but can get frustrating when trying to help. even in the for sale section when someone is selling something and doesnt tell where they are from. thats kind of annoying. but some people are also new to forums when they ask questions so i can see where they might now think about it.

 

I know from experience that a lot of noobs don't realize that the above mentioned info is essential when seeking help/advice. Much the same way they seem to avoid using the search feature. A case of live and learn I guess.

 

Well I can see needing Jeep info in profile but requiring anyone to post in public where they live isn't going to happen. Many folks do not want others know where they live. Now IMHO if you want tech help and you don't either post your jeep info via your profile or in the thread you deserve a knot on the head.

 

^X2

 

So what youre saying is:

A NOT in the THREAD deserves a KNOT in the HEAD.

 

posting what state you live in is far from telling every one your address
and it is needed to answer some questions

like the guy that wants info on how to get a OHV registration

 

Maybe the website should requier...wait I mean require you to get your panties un-wadded before visiting this forum? I think that would be more helpful.

 

whats the big deal about posting a little info
if you want correct ansers you need to give some info

I have bean a member of other forums that require this info
if you want to post in any of the tech sections

 

or maybe you have no clue what you have is that why
you don't have that info posted
