Fixed it! Thanks guys!
never heard from again
I found a solution. This should work: dead link
I find people are actually pretty good about this online, i come across a ton of 2 comment posts consisting of user asking for help with a problem answering themselves with the solution they found while waiting. It’s become better.
The issue has been automatically closed due to lack of interest after 7 days of inactivity. - git bot
Every bug tracker seems to do this, and if you submit it again yours will be closed as a duplicate.
I hate those bug trackers and forums. Like you have a problem that is quite difficult to explain. Then, after some time you finally stumbled upon a thread where someone else has the exact same issue… but there is NO solution and the thread was locked due to inactivty.
WHY!?
7 days is the cutoff where it goes from being a bug to being a feature
I recall reading an article about version numbers, and it mentioned an interesting example of some app where the version number is essentially pi. Each update just adds another digit to the version, so eventually it’s going to get really long. When the developer dies, all the remaining bugs in the software will officially become undocumented features.
One time I had this experience in reverse; I was investigating a problem and found a forum post about it from an ex coworker with a recognizable username. (Unfortunately he hadn’t found a solution, either.)
And who lives on the basement of that house? Denvercoder9
They forgot the “admin closed as not an issue” step
Or the even more frustrating OP reply “fixed thanx” with no details on how they fixed it leaving everyone else in the dark.

Yet another XKCD where he delivers the punchline, and then goes on to explain the punchline.
