I have been on the forum for over 14 years, and this is still great information.

Well done @AbramBaileyAuD An excellent and comprehensive guide…A small guide on how to enter your , wouldn’t go amiss please? Cheers Kev :smile:

Thanks Kev. We are actually going to streamline that really soon and build a plugin straight into the forum, so will hold fire there! Good call though.

I am really impressed with this Forum. Useful info, polite discussion. On the internet there is extremely little information on that is NOT posted by the manufacturers themselves, so this unbiased resource with comments and experience “from the masses” is greatly appreciated!

I am glad you have an “Audiogram Installation Tutorial” in the proverbial pipeline, every little helps, and makes life slightly easier, for everyone new to this forum…

Yeah, I also had quite a problem with inserting the …

In all truth @Bimodal_user, I found installing my , a fairly simple process, but some folk need to be, walked through the process, we have lots of folks on here, whom perhaps tend to be frightened of a PC, when in actual fact, it’s just a tool, if you make a mistake, it’s easily rectified… I for one made loads of mistakes over the 20 odd years of using PC’s, I occasionally still do, but that’s the learning curve… I recall many year’s ago teaching my Daughter Rosie, from the age of about 6, computer basics, 10 years later, her hands would be moving so fast on the keyboard, they where just a blur, in 3 different chat rooms simultaneously, while surfing the WEB, Rosie is 30 now, and a Wizardess on the PC, it became second nature to her… As for myself, I never changed, I am still a 1 fingered typist, slow, methodical & dyslexic, but we get there… :joy: :upside_down_face: :rofl: Cheers Kev :smile:

This may be off-topic:
On my computer screen, I have trouble seeing:
1] the grayed out threads that I have read. (they look black)
2] the horizontal line that indicated threads newer than my last visit.

@AbramBaileyAuD I propose to include the possibility of inserting a and/or score (monaural and ), which would be displayed below the tonal graph. This may be especially helpful when a new user would be eligible for rather than .

Also how to change your email address please. My service provider canceled my email I used to register here on the forum. As a result I haven’t had a newsletter all year.

I’ve looked and looked, but being useless at IT I’m still trying unsuccessfully.
