I was a fixya contributor for over 6… I was a fixya contributor for over 6 years. I complained about not being able to "ignore" spammers and their posts. I am now unable to post on ANYTHING! ..I can read but never comment! ... FIXYA is now a spam site IMO!

Fixya or 6ya Fixya or 6ya. They're the same. Posted question on Fixya over 2 years ago. Only "answer" was link to 6ya who wanted to sell subscription before looking at question to see if they actually had answer. Not trustworthy. Fixya gets around their statement of not charging for answers by referring customers to 6ya. Question has been listed as "Solved" but that "solution" was the reference to 6ya.

Saved me $300 - what a great site! my dishwasher stopped working and after I made a few phone calls to a bunch of local repairmen, most wanted $60 just to come to my house and estimated the total repair would be around $250. I googled the problem and landed on fixya and saw several similar issues. I decided to post my specific question and within 15 minutes got an answer. All I had to do is reset the pump valve and since then it works like magic! Thanks Fixya, you saved my day (and bank account:)

Someone doesn't want some issues fixed Seems someone doesn't want some issues fixed. I posted a way to give Yahoo mail users a simple way to change their display language via the address bar and the question and answers were deleted. The problem started in 2012 and continued to 2018 unresolved. I thought I'd share my fix and put the issue to rest -- and now it's been inexplicably swept under the rug.

Bad Experience From This Platform I'm not sure why this community, particularly the Admin of 𝗙𝗜𝗫𝗬𝗔, would trash someone and accuse her of being an AI bot when her only aim was to express her thoughts for the benefit of others who needed assistance. I've also had experiences with people claiming to be experts; for example, there's this man named Larry Ng who is a car know-it-all, but when I offer someone my opinion on an issue I know, he dismisses it and labels me someone who doesn't know anything simply because he's a MECHANIC. Essentially, this is a forum for those who do not want you to voice your thoughts on specific issues because they do not want you to shine. Never attempt to join this community. Better go to Quora if you need help!
