Why no Troubleshooting prefix?

SampleAndy · 05-29-2013, 01:29 AM

This is more of a forum question than a Kindle Fire question. Why isn't there a Troubleshooting prefix in the Fire subforum? In the main Kindle forum, there are:
Accessories
Cloud Reader
Content
Firmware Update
Hacks
K4 Mac or PC
Troubleshooting

Here in the Kindle Fire subforum, all we get is:
HD

Seems like the Fires have just as many problems as the eink Kindles, neh? I'm starting to feel like a second class citizen.

Yeah, sorry about that. We did come up with a few changes a few months ago, but that never crossed my mind. Mostly due to the forum primarily JUST being for troubleshooting and we just wanted to make sure that when people were talking about the HD version that it was properly noted.

One or two of us go on about other things here, and as far as hacking goes, I'd rather direct people over to XDA as that's where all the people who actually mod their Fires hang out. Unless it starts getting loud in here again, I think we're fine, but I think we should wait until the next literation of Fires to consider changing anything again.

Hey Jessica,
Thanks for replying, but... According to the description of the forum, "Discuss Amazon's Kindle Fire." According to your post, "...the forum primarily JUST being for troubleshooting..." So... which is it? I had the impression it was a general forum specifically for the Fire Kindles as opposed to the eInk Kindles.

No biggie. I got used to being confused a looonnnng time ago.

It still is about talking about the Kindle Fire in general too, hahaha, I just think that the majority of people here graduated. Some people went off to the Nexus 7, I went for the iPad Mini, and very few ended up getting the HD version. I did buy my brother one though.

A lot has changed in the last one and a half years now too. The majority of us were just trying to find apps that worked well on the KF. There was the 10" tablet already, but 7" was pretty new. That's not much of a big issue now. And so now the majority of us are sitting back and enjoying I guess!

But yeah, if you have something to say, go ahead!
