I have no idea what the issue is, at this point no one does due to the lack of logs, so it seemed prudent to get the most obvious point out of the way and then quickly move on (as I did).
I also have no knowledge of your technical abilities, you’re just a random person on the internet. You could be a professional developer or technician, or you could be a technophobe who just wants some TV shows.
I don’t check a user’s post history before replying to them, so I have no idea how other people have replied to you.
How exactly a simple sentence managed to ‘waste your time’ is beyond me, you could have just ignored it if it was so troublesome for you. If anything, your unnecessarily lengthy reply seems more of a waste of time.
I was trying to make an easy suggestion so that you could get help from anyone, and quickly. By all means though, wait a few days for a mod to maybe see your post and maybe tell you to PM them.
