Re: Anyone else having problems with Spotify streaming tonight?

That seems like a perfectly valid and legitimate thing to investigate and there's no real harm in asking if anyone else was having the same thing. This is, quite frankly, an utterly pointless and useless post. It doesn't contribute to the thread in any way, shape or form. Sorry, General, I've got a lot of respect for you and you're normally one of the more helpful people on this forum but think of how many threads would be derailed if everyone posted that they don't have anything to contribute to it. See above. Not very nice, not helpful. Of course NuttehButteh, what people are saying is correct as well - this isn't an official forum and support isn't guaranteed, so getting upset when nobody can help isn't productive either - it doesn't look like anyone else here uses Spotify, so your best bet is either spotify's forums or the official VM ones.

I agree wholeheartedly. I'm rather upset at how unhelpful the replies in the technical forums can be at times. If you have nothing useful to offer please don't post..However some patience is required when asking for help..I'm sure there would have been an answer eventually.

The rule of thumb should be if you have no useful advice don't post.
