how did you direct the link to the bottom posts? when i link a page it goes to the top posts of that page

actually didn't mean to that time but you just add in a # then the msg number. You can find the msg number by quoting the msg

Sure. Where's AsherO?

Now that's what I call flame-bait :P

If people can't browse/search (or have no common sense to figure out the answers to basic questions using those methods), I'm not going to spoon-feed them. Newbies learn, n00bs never mature and often morph into leaches or trolls (IMHO).

An easier way is to click on the title of the post (i.e. "Re: Basics") and then copy the link it takes you to...

The one I quoted.

DovidR is suggesting that I should be the one compiling a beginners wiki (he was replying to Bubbles).

oh i see. i agree. i thought u were saying in general (and regarding my post:)
i think there should be a a "search thread" - because the problem with searching these days on DDF is (sometimes itll help) many times u need info and its hard to find with so many posts and threads. and sometimes if u write two words itll bring all the searches of both words seperetly. so in the thread if i would only ask i couldnt find in search bar and if someone knew where it is - he'd post a link to it or quote it.

It was tongue-in-cheek Asher, your impatience with newbies is legendary on these boards.
But I really think we should put together a real FAQ and sticky it.
Hey, you would be pestered less, right?
Dan probably agrees because his top thread says "and FAQ"

All he means is that you reapply for certain cards and get the bonus even if you already have that card and haven't cancelled it

Precisely.

cuz you responded at the same second ;)

No we didn't.

What are the easiest cards available right now to apply for and reapply for when you still have the card?  Ones with the least amount of problems?

Isn't there a really long wait time for reapplying?

Well, Dan has said that he churned the card in 60 days. (record making stuff, that)

But, yes, the consensus says to wait 18-24 months.
