Modem Isolation Test Macro?
Is there an updated Modem Isolation Test macro since the Photobucket debacle? I know I can simply copy and paste it from another post, which I just did for a reply, but is there a new macro? Thanks.
And if there is and I missed it...derp on me. :p
<p>Please perform the following test outlined in the graphic below, this is known as an isolation test and will help determine whether the issue is with Hughesnet or your local network.<br><br><img src="http://i.imgur.com/P2hSeDN.jpg" border="0" alt="photo P2hSeDN.jpg"><br><br>1: Take a screen capture of the Status Meter<br>2: Disconnect the LAN cable from the modem. If on the HT2000w, please disable wifi as well.<br>3: Note the date and time of the disconnect, it is best when doing step two, to also capture the time displayed on your screen.<br>4: Leave the LAN cable disconnected from the modem for several hours, Hughesnet recommends doing this overnight, or during the day while at work.<br>5: Reconnect the LAN cable to the modem.<br>6&7: Take a screen capture of the Status Meter with the clock displayed on your computer.<br>8: Post your screenshots to the community.<br><br>Please be aware, if you downloaded any large files just prior to this test, or if the disconnect was for an extensive time period, some usage may appear to have occured, but should be rather negligible. <br><br></p>

Another reason why I think there should be a standard set of FAQ links to refer people to instead of macros.

That's actually not a bad idea. Has anyone ever suggested this to the mods?
I don't imagine it would be too difficult to add an FAQ section with locked sticky posts concerning the Isolation test, speed test, Web Acceleraton control, etc. After all, they added the General Discussion section pretty easily.
