So then it's OK to post threads that point to other threads for the sake of "maybe someone didn't see the original thread so lets point to it"?

Unnecessary and inappropriate.

I´m from Germany by the way. Would hack it anway ;o) if a hack allows me to keep using my "European" Amazon account and still be able to use 3G to enter any web site. Which is not possible here in Germany! No open internet access via 3G !!!
Only Amazon.com and Wiki.en. And that is disapointing. Any help there?

Keep up the GREAT work guys

Tiersten you are totally correct and I wish there were more courageous people like you.

I would hope it is, personally.

As a casual browser, I would never have ventured in to the Developer's Corner; even if I had, I would never have thought that a thread about the 2.5 would also include info on the 3 (such a specific thread title would suggest that any thread about the 3 would be named as such). So this thread has actually turned out to be incredibly useful for myself and, by the look of other comments here, others. Except you, obv.

It's actually quite acceptable (in most user-friendly sites) to post links to other relevant content, if that content is not immediatly obvious. Where you would have a genuine gripe is if the thread had pointed to another thread in the same forum (not a sub-forum); in this case, though, the thread being referenced is not only in a different location but also no longer named accurately.

So yes, in my experience I would say this particular instance is perfectly acceptable.

Heh now that the K3 is hacked has reached front page news, this thread could be closed if a mod so wished.

I actually think it is fairly obvious that the news item should be deleted since it simply points to a thread at a different location.
