Cannot reply to forum post without being registered; but can't register without creating a new thread

I wished to reply to a forum post with new information that will be of relevance to anyone searching for a solution to a particular problem. I did not have a support account with Mozilla. I found that the site would not allow a reply from an unregistered person. Fair enough, but it gives you no way to create an account then reply to the post. The only way you can create an account is by creating a new thread - which is what I am doing now! Crazy or what? It then took about 10 minutes thrashing about on the site to find out how to create an account. Frustrating or what? Thank goodness Firefox itself is built to much higher standards.

Suggested fix for an admin to apply:
Replace the text that appears at the bottom of a thread while signed out - "You must log in to your account to reply to posts. Please start a new question, if you do not have an account yet."
...with one that reads "You must log in to your account to reply to posts. Please [https://support.mozilla.org/get-involved sign up to contribute], or start a new question, if you do not have an account yet."
This little seeming catch-22 gave me a chuckle, but I'm glad this thread was already here so that I didn't have to waste space. Someone needs to fix this soon though, lest it put more people off contributing.

    I saved some of my music to a Cloud I can't access. Now, they show up as "Purchased" in iTunes, and I'm not given the option of re-downloading OR repurchasing them.
    Music purchased from the iTunes store is not stored in your personal iCloud account, and an iCloud account is not required to redownload them.  You should be able to redownload them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.  If you are unable to, contact iTunes store support for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click ‘iTunes', and then 'iTunes Store', then 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption'.

  • Is there a way to reorder or introduce new pages in iBooks Author, without creating a new IBook?

    Is there a way to reorder or introduce new pages in iBooks Author, without creating a new IBook? Is this possible?

    The main thing is...you have a way to move forward with your project.
    If I may offer some tips, learn to customise the template to suit your project...its basically very easy..once you try.Again a search will bring up posts that address this topic.
    IF you do create your own template..save it as a template before using it, that way you have a clean version every time.
    When putting your book together save versions as you go along..later you can delete them.
    If, as .. you seem to have found, you need to change things or want to try other options, you can copy whole chapters or sections and paste in a new order or  into another version of your template. If you copy into a different template or book, the template basic also transfer to the template. Best way to discover what can be done is simply open a new book to play with! Add a few chapters and sections...include some pages..and just drag things around, copy and paste where you choose. Its just learning and after you delete the junk!..BTW, yes, you can have single pages before the first chapter...i.e. I open a copyright page into a chapter...that drag it to the top of the book tree, a blue line will appear ..drop it.
    If you need any help or advice, its available in abundance on this forum.  Have fun...

  • TS4020 Can I change my iCloud email address name without creating a new account?

    CCan I change my iCloud email address name without creating a new account?

    Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
    However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

  • Is it possible to loop AI Voltage readings without creating a new task (NI-DAQmx)?

    I would like to repeatedly make n Analog readings in a program, however, I am unable to accomplish this without creating a new task each time... perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
    Here is my pseudo-code:
    DAQmxErrChk(DAQmxCreateTask("", &taskHandleAI));
    DAQmxErrChk(DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan(taskHandleAI, ...));
    DAQmxErrChk(DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming(taskHandleAI,...));
    Loop start
    DAQmxErrChk(DAQmxStartTask(*taskHandleAI));
    DAQmxErrChk(DAQmxWaitUntilTaskDone(*taskHandleAI, 0.001));
    DAQmxErrChk(DAQmxReadAnalogF64(*taskHandleAI, ...));
    DAQmxErrChk(DAQmxStopTask(*taskHandleAI));
    do_something();
    Loop end
    The first read seems to work fine, however, all subsequet reads gets the following error message:
    DAQmx Error: Measurements: Task specified is invalid or does not exist.
    Status Code: -200088
    Does anyone have a clue what is happening?

    Sorry... is it possible to move a post, or should I simply start another one?
    Also. I don't fully understand what you mean by moving start & stop outside of the loop... the 'do_something()' part parses the reading results that was just read...
    are you saying I should not run StartTask/StopTask for each iteration of the loop? 

  • How to save new edits and text to photo without creating a new file

    I am a new user of PSE 7.  I am able to enhance and add text to my photos but can't save the edits without creating a new PSD PSE file in addition to the original unedited photo.  How do I save the phto itself as edited?

    If you really want to make your changes irreversible then use “Save As” and select file type from the dropdown list e.g. jpeg and enter the exact same file name as the original. Click OK to save and OK to overwrite the original.
    While this of course is the answer to the question, the idea of overwriting the original is simply a bad idea. If you do this, you can never get back to your original and start again. That text will always be there.
    I advise the original poster not to do this. Save your edits as a different name.

  • Call an MM transaction without creating a new LUW

    Hello Experts,
    I have created a new Z_ transaction in which I want to call an existing Materials Management
    transaction (MB1B). Additionally, in my transaction I update some extra custom (z_) tables. I would like to have one LUW so as to perform all updates (both custom tables and SAP tables updated by the MM transaction) together at the final "commit work" in my program.
    Is there a way to call the MM transaction without creating a new LUW in my calling program (as the CALL TRANSACTION statement does)?
    I have read that one way is to use the CALL DIALOG statement instead. Is it a safe method to use?
    Please give as much detailed info (with examples) as possible.
    Thank you very much in advance,
    Orestis

    Hi Sandra,
    My requirement is to call a transacton in a subscreen. Created a screen 100 that is devided into 2 one for custom container to place tree control and  another for subscreen that is to call transaction.
    Call transaction works fine, but this transaction is being opened in new screen(as each transaction use new LUW)., is there any to display the transaction in the sub screen area instead of new screen..
    For ex, very similar to t-code SE80. In se80, choose other object, and choose more, and select trasaction  and enter any t-code, then it displays same of SE93 in the right side of the screen...hope it is clear..

  • Setting up a time capsule without creating a new network.

    I want to set up my time machine but without creating a new network. However, my current network doesn't allow to connect a router to the network. When I connect the energy cable to the time capsule it keeps flashing an amber light. When I open the AirPort is says that it didn't find the base stations of AirPort and will keep searching.

    To setup a TC.. without creating a new network.. and current network doesn't allow a router to connect.. sorry you have just created a conundrum.. nobody can give you an answer to that. It is impossible to use the TC in that case. It is 100% only a network drive. You should get an external drive and plug it into the computer.
    The only solution is to have two networks.. if the current network cannot be used even with a bridged TC.
    As long as you have a Mac with both wireless and ethernet you can do it.
    See instructions I have with all the screen shots near the bottom of this thread.

  • Transfer files from PC without creating a new user

    Is it possible to use the Migration Assistant to transfer files (documents and photos) from a PC to my new MacBook WITHOUT creating a new user? And why the frick does the Setup Assistant not warn you on initial startup that if you do not transfer files then - you can only do it by creating a seperate user. This should be simple. Transfer files. sounds easy.

    It is user friendly - that's why it asks you to migrate all of your info in the very beginning during the setup of your new Mac.
    Migration Assistant creates a new user after it does its job. There's no way around that.
    You can either manually move the files over from your PC into the Mac or you can use MA, let it create a new user and then share those files between the new user and your current user. When you're done you can then delete the newly (and now empty) migrated user. You cannot migrate files from another computer and have them placed into your current user.

  • How can I create a new page in pages, without creating a new section?

    how can I create a new page in pages, without creating a new section?

    Good morning graywright,
    It sounds as if what you are wanting to do in the Pages application is to insert a Page Break. Follow the steps in this article -
    Pages '09: Inserting a Page Break
    In a word processing document, click where you want the break to occur, and then choose Insert > Page Break. 
    To remove a page break, click at the beginning of the line that follows the break and press the Delete key.
    In a page layout document, to insert a new page in your document, click Pages in the toolbar and choose from the template page options available.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L

    Hi there! Sure this problem has already been discussed here many times and I'm not the only one who's interested this question, but how can I publish my website using FTP without creating a new folder, just to the root folder of my web hosting? Is that even possible or should I each time drag all the files from the folder created by iWeb and put them to the root folder manually? I'm a little bit confused. Guys help me with this, please! Many thanks in advance!!

    Yes, you're right, it has been discussed for the past several years and yes, you're not the only who's interested in that question.
