 Posted: Sun Sep 28, 2008 12:36 pm Post subject: POI Download Problem |
 |
|
Firstly hi to all forum members this is my first post.
I have tried to download the free poi's but when I extract them from the zip file I only get 1 file named "poi". I have tried to download them as separate files and as combined files but I still only get 1 file. I don’t know if I am doing something wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks |

| Welcome to the forum, Next to the download button is a check box labeled "show link" select that and try again, don't select more than 20 categories or sub categories in any one download - Mike |

Because he has since submitted a second post within this topic - the first at 12:36, and the other at 13:04. |

aye, it's the total number of posts as opposed to the users specific post number!

As far as I am aware there is no incremental increase in Posts however many times you post in the same thread - look at the numbers on my two posts. Furthermore, his first post is numbered 2.

Because, as mentioned above, it shows the total number of posts someone has made and not the number that that post represents. i.e. if randombeef posts another post in this thread all his posts will read Posts:3 and if he makes another post in a different thread all his posts will read Posts: 4...

When you posted the first time it would have said Posts: 1246, now you have posted again they both say 1247. Post again here or elsewhere and they'll all say 1248. Look back at some of you old threads. They all say 1247 at the minute, even those from months ago.....
Further to that when i originally posted this i had Posts: 4390. I made two posts in the Moderators forum in the same thread and my post count is at Posts: 4392. However after this post it'll be Posts: 4393... |
