The fact that this question comes up so often, though it's addressed in
the FAQ, implies one or more of several things:
- Users are not bothering to read available information
- Users cannot understand the information provided
- There's a difficiency in the existing documentation/FAQ, making it
difficult to read and/or find information related to a specific problem
- The product is not intuitive enough for users to understand why this
problem occurs.
There's certainly other reasons, too, but I'd suspect the problem stems
from a combination of these reasons.
If nothing else, we could probably improve on this last point. Would
it make sense, perhaps, for the user to be presented a popup window in
the event that no interfaces are listed, explaining what the possible
causes for the problem are? The message would need to be able to be
disabled (perhaps include a checkbox labelled "do not show this message
again", which is checked by default).
I'd imagine such a feature would free up quite a few of Guy's cycles to
work on things more worthy of his skills & time =)
