Need help with Google

I could really use some help here. Every time I try to open a partition, it just triggers a Google search instead of opening the folder icons like it used to. Thanks in advance:

Look, you might end up having to wipe the drive or just go through the hassle of reinstalling macOS.
You actually posted this in the wrong spot, though—this is the Reddit help section. Your best bet is to start the same thread over here. 😉

I don't really get it... send a screenshot...

Are you two actually serious about wanting to be mods?
You especially, hiddenmoose3, right?

especially you, hiddenmoose3, right?

I can't speak for hiddenmoose3, but I'm not really looking for the title myself. My goal is just to lend a hand to anyone asking for it, provided I actually have the answer. I happen to manage an online community over on Reddit, and I've learned that being a moderator isn't just about handing out bans; it’s actual work, and if you believe me, it can be quite tedious at times. 🙂

P.S.—would you ever want to take on a moderator role, placidnomad50? 😁

For what it's worth, I run an admin account over on a vBulletin board, and being a mod isn't just handing out bans. It's actual work. Sometimes it's a grind, believe it or not. 🙂

P.S.—Hey placidnomad50, you ever thought about being a mod? 😁

I'm with you on this...
I'm an admin on a site myself...
and I mod plenty of others too (I only manage two 😂)... plus people are always blowing up my phone when something breaks on the site... 🙂
Look, I'm not exactly itching to take a mod role here... but then again, I wouldn't say no if it made sense. 😉
What about you, placidnomad50?

So, does everyone who lends a hand with a single post suddenly feel entitled to a moderator badge? 😕

No way... vividfalcon14 and I are always stepping up to answer questions, so I guess placidnomad50 finally decided to take notice. Or whatever. 🤣

It’s much like trying to navigate a fog-heavy morning on the Pacific Coast Highway; you think you have a clear line of sight, only to realize the landscape shifted while you weren't looking. One might find themselves searching Google for answers, yet the clarity remains just out of reach. kaže:
It seems like everyone who lends a hand to someone else immediately starts acting like they've earned a seat on the moderation team. 😕

Not exactly. To earn a moderator spot, you really need to be putting out high-quality content rather than just acting like a spammer, and keeping your record clean of strikes or bans. I assume you're already familiar with how that works.
Well, since that was what the designer actually wrote, I feel like my response was pretty spot on; it seems placidnomad50 just took it the wrong way.
I’ve always been the type to step up when someone is in a bind, even if it means taking the hit myself. That’s just how I’m wired, and that carries over into my digital life too; helping out doesn't necessarily mean that I or the logo have to be part of some moderator squad. 😉

vividfalcon14 said:That’s not how it works. To be a mod, you need to actually post quality content—not just spam—and keep your disciplinary record clean. It’s pretty basic stuff.
But based on what hiddenmoose3 wrote, I think placidnomad50 totally misread the situation.
If someone's in trouble, I'll step up to help them, even if it costs me. That’s just who I am, both online and off. It doesn't mean I or hiddenmoose3 need moderator status to do it. 😉

I'm with you on that... 🙂

But you actually posted this in the wrong section; this is Reddit help. You should probably try starting the same thread over here. 😉

Thanks. I'm still pretty new to Reddit, so I'm still getting the hang of things.

Don't mention it, friend. None of us were born with an instruction manual for life already tucked under our arms.🙂
