WELCOME TO TFTS! <

Hi Everybody! You've found the subreddit where we tell our amazing Tales From Tech Support, including but not limited to:

• Incredible Feats of Networking Heroics;
  

• Tech Troubleshooting Under the Direst Circumstances;
  

• Unsolvable Problems Cracked by Sheer Genius and/or Pure Luck;
  

• Moral Support after Having Dealt with Difficult Clients;

• And of course, Stupid User Stories!

We've got a bit of a lull in the queue just now, so kick back, grab a cold one from the secret tech fridge behind the server rack, and share your best tales among friends here at TFTS!

POSTING GUIDELINES <

TELL US YOUR TALE OF TECH SUPPORT!

Your post should be a story about tech support. Please do your best to make it interesting, readable and concise.

• We must ask you to anonymize your company or business info.
  

• Please do try to keep your posts & comments SFW. This is not the place for derogatory, abusive or bigoted language.

• No posts that ask a question or solicit information (i.e. computer info, tech tips, industry advice, etc.)
  

• No standalone links to other sites. Exceptions are made for particularly relevant or awesome links.
  

• This is not the right place for a funny screencap or a hilarious photo, unless it provides more context for your tale.
  

• Consider visiting one of our sister subreddits for non-tale posts & related questions.
