MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Firmware request threads dont belong here

Sorry, I have no idea why requesting a copy of the firmware should be considered a developer action. Anyone who wants to upgrade or downgrade their device will need it. Of course, we'd just point them to one of the pages that list the firmware versions and links.

But, of course that's not what you mean. You are actually referring to the SD card images that are being requested. If your request to the mods have been as badly stated as your post here, then it is no wonder they have ignored you.

And again, why should that be in the developer sub forum? It's not actually someone trying to develop code for the devices. It's someone trying to fix their device. That sounds like something for the main section of the forum where people are discussing the devices and how to use them or get them working again.

And so you know: I don't care where they are. I really just want one thread per device type so I can track what is happening easily.
