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.
And who lives on the basement of that house? Denvercoder9
Welcome to most egregious civil rights breaking corporate fuckup forums!
"Hi, your software breaks the law. Help!" (I also have this question: 2242)
"Hi! Welcome, my name is Michael Smith and am a featured 5 star pro forum solver, I have never heard of this issue, I can't for the life of me picture such a behavior, never seen it or thought of it myself or heard any complaints online or seen news segments about it or any court proceedings in the Hague!
Can you post your PC setup and which browser you are using? In the meantime I will lock this thread as it's been solved. Remember, we are all volunteers here, with no connection to Evilcorp.com, just love what we do"

I once posted an issue for Kibana not letting you pick colors manually for certain graphs.
By the time they got around to it I had changed jobs 3 times.
Picking colors manually on a dashboard is a super basic feature
Reminds me of the guy who was the original reporter of a fault in some software that went unfixed for years.
He eventually applied for, and got, a job at that software's company.
His first day, he logs on, and goes to find and then fixes that bug.
With a sigh of relief, he then logs off and quits the job.
(I believe this is a true story, but someone will undoubtedly be along in a minute to confirm or correct. With a sigh of relief no doubt.)

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.)
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.
Here's the explain xkcd, just in case you need an explanation of the explanation of the punchline.
