I find it very annoying when someine complains or points out a problem, there is a lot of responses that basically say "I don't have the problem". By posting you don't have the problem, all you are doing is adding to the op frustration level, and padding your post count. If you don't have a solution, or have the same problem, you should just not post. Posting you don't have that issue adds nothing to the conversation. Just my opinion.

what if everybody says they don't have the problem, it would help by telling you it was only you that had that problem

No, it basically tells people that they're stupid.

If you can't help with a given problem, you stay out of the thread. It IS that easy.

i don't know what problem they were talking about, there could be problems that are entirely the person who has the problems fault and zero responses wouldn't help in that scenario

But saying 'I don't have that problem' doesn't help either.

However if you were to say 'I don't have that problem, here's what I did to ensure I didn't get it...' that's a helpful response.

ahh, yes i agree literally just saying "I don't have the problem" is useless, i didn't interpret that as what they meant, but saying obvious things like "check your drivers are up to date" is sort of pointless as well

But sometimes that is the case.

I don't have a problem with it.

We're all stupid sometimes, but if you can't help, you say nothing at all.
