Hello
At the end of this recent (example) post, it shows that the poster is using ...... iMac 27", macOS 10.15
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250786863
I've noticed that not ALL posts have such helpful information.
Can anyone explain why some posts do - and other posts do not, include the equipment being used?
iMac 27" 5K, macOS 10.15
When creating a Discussion a selection of devices will appear along with "What device is this about?"
The list is populated from the devices using that Apple ID. Some (most) people either disregard that choice, don't know what it means, or hasn't updated their product information in https://appleid.apple.com/
Ah ha! 🙄 Thanks for explaining what you meant, Keith. I now understand.
I'm sure there was a time when one's devices WERE shown in one's ASC profile but, sadly, they are no longer published.
When making a post nowadays, one is asked to answer "What device is this about?" and "What topic is this related to?"
If you select to answer, it shows up beneath your post. If you don't ........ it doesn't! 😉
Cheers!
David
PS I loved Albuquerque - you are so VERY fortunate to live there! 😃
Because most forum posters to not complete their profile.
Where do you think it finds out "which device this might be about"? From your profile.
Some people will set it up and some won’t. Mine is about three macs back!
Not your ASC profile, it is in your main AppleID profile.
I work on the base. At the airshow a few months ago they did a pilot rescue demonstration with the helicopters and Ospreys.
Hello again, Keith! 🙂
Your profile does NOT show what computer you are using! https://discussions.apple.com/profile/Keith%20Barkley
By the way, I've visited Albuquerque. My son was at the Kirtland AFB 2004-2008 teaching US helicopter pilots how to rescue downed aircrew from behind enemy lines! 😃
Hi Keith 🙃
I think that USED to be the case ............ but not now!
Please see the response from John Galt.
Many thanks, John!
There's always a reason for everything! 😀
I don't think you are right about that 'rkaufmann87'. 😢
Please see the answer from John Galt.
