For future reference:
  • Please use a descriptive subject text when posting questions, so that users with similar problems can find the thread more easily
  • Please write in complete English instead of texting slang. There's enough space for a post to include complete words like "are", "you", or "and"
  • Finally, when posting scripts, command lines, ... use [CODE] tags to enhance readability and preserve formatting.
