Title: Buy/Sell/Trade Forum ?
Post by: pj_elia on June 10, 2005, 04:22:16 pm: Should I be able to reply to messages on the Buy/Sell/Trade Forum? I'm obviously a new guy, can some point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

PJ

i had the same problem. my 1st post was a for sale post but i was unable to reply to people once they started asking questions...

some kind soul pointed out to me that i should go and partake in some of the more chilled out discussions over in the genral area which i did. the quota is very low, something like '6' as suggested. good luck. dont get banned. ;)

Post by: SpeedyR on June 11, 2005, 12:03:45 pm: lol.. i ran into the same issue. i've been lurking for a month or two and just trying to put 1 and 1 together about how everything works. finally figured out pretty much what I wanted as far as hardware and then started scanning the for sale stuff. Nailz had a few things for sale so I jumped on them...

well at least I thought I would! I did get the PM to him and bought a few items from him and he was kind enough to explain the same thing to me (lack of posts). but that's probably a good idea to limit the new posts. no big deal. at least it gets everyone involved. personally I found most of my questions answered by going back thru the archives. but i'm sure i'll have more now that I actually have some hardware to try to figure out (t stick plus, minipac, 2 1/4' trackball and maybe some buttons from ponyboy).

looking forward to actually having some hands on. now if i can just figure out what's wrong with my T-sticks (they don't move the 4/8 way actuator when you pull on the stick. I think the funny washer is worn out of something.

Try tightening or loosening the nut at the base of the joystick shaft. Mine dont seem to want to work unless they are at the right position on the thread.

Post by: Franco on June 21, 2005, 11:30:35 am: I dont understand? ??? Are you talking about my post? SpeedyR seemed to be having a problem so I thought I would chime in. His question was contained in this thread so I thought I would reply to it.
