In reply to: Ability to Favorite or Star PluginsCool. Thanks James. That will be a big help!
I would still like to suggest to the WP team that you somehow be able to do it from the interface where you normally download.

In reply to: Guideline ChangesCould be clearer.
In any case, I didn’t call names in my first post. I pointed out that WordPress.org was clearly (in my opinion of course) saying to look for posts that were regarding the same problem.
He had the same problem as me, same version of wordpress and had just upgraded to the same version of the plugin, precipitating the problem. To me, it made a ton of sense.
Regarding my second post, I apologize. In my book it’s not OK to delete someone’s well-reasoned post without comment. I got upset and said things about esmi – who I do not know and who is clearly doing yeo(wo)man’s service in these forums – that I should not have.
I had no intention of hijacking mackaltman’s topic. Rather, I was trying to back him up in the face of what I saw as discourteous behavior from a moderator who I had experienced to be discourteous and whose philosophy of tech support I didn’t share. Like mackaltman, I have been in these forums for a while, and often as not it is a fellow user who solves problems that I have, or at least points me in the right direction.
I agree that your philosophy of support has a lot of merit. I would ask that WordPress institute a method to follow open support posts without commenting to facilitate and also to make the Before posting a new topic, be sure to search to see if one has been started already text clearer.
Again, I apologize – thanks for all that all of you do.

In reply to: Guideline ChangesLet me rephrase:
I see your point, but I pointed out to you (very correctly) that this support forums posting for STILL tells us to look for a similar topic.
Posting to an existing thread makes sense to people who have used WP for a long time as many times it’s users and not mods or programmers who solve problems.

In reply to: [WP eCommerce] Shipping address not coming up in PayPalI have exactly the same issue and my understanding of forum etiquette is that I should post in an already created topic asking about the same issue.

In reply to: [WP eCommerce] Shipping address not coming up in PayPalOK, thanks. Very frustrating as I posted this 3 times … and the little matter of the cart not working. Considering paying for their support but the fact they’re letting people hang for a week makes me a little nervous.

In reply to: Dammitall: 2.8.4 upgrade warningYou’re kidding, right?
I have never seen WP upgrades overwrite anything in the wp-content directory.
There’s a reason it’s called wp-content …
