I’d assume, it’s more the tone that doesn’t let you sound like a moderator.
From a moderator, I’d expext the first part of the third question you asked now. Something like “It seems to me, you didn’t follow my instructions properly. Was there something unclear?”
And here, what you are doing “or was there some other reason you ignored them”. Why do you assume that I ignored your instructions? I didn’t ignore them at all. I just didn’t expect that I can’t replace YOUR_NAS_IP_ADDRESS with my local domain name for this server. After all, DSM is also using the domain name when I press the Plex button in Disk Station and this is what I did to open the Plex Web.
If you knew that it is important to put in the IP and not the domain name when writing your instructions, it would have helped to point that out.
The message was displayed because you were attempting to login using a domain name. If that was allowed then any Tom, Dick or Harry could log into your Plex server, they would only need to guess the password.
The error message doesn’t state that at all. It gives the impression that I’m trying to access my server, but don’t have the rights to do so.
And how should one of these three guys be able to log into my server, just because I’m using a local domain? This domain isn’t public at all. In case, you want to check, try to ping it. It’s a domain for my local network.
Had I been aware that you were using a domain name instead of following my instructions my question to you would have been very different, don’t you think?
I don’t know. Probably. But how should I know that this is relevant. Usually services can work with domain names. You also didn’t know that it is relevant to ask me that.
do not answer simple questions
I didn’t answer the question, because it wasn’t clear to me. That was the reason why I asked a couple of questions back.
Also note that your instructions didn’t were the solution to the problem. If I wouldn’t have followed your instructions and just used the IP in the first place, everything would have worked.
Look, I think, this doesn’t go anywhere. I was really thankful for your support even though your question “Why are you not logging in as admin?” was a bit irritating. I didn’t expect such quick support and this was very positive. But your comment after the problem was solved already was just inappropriate.
The questions from ChuckPa on the other hand were the right ones to hint me to the problem and helped me to solve it.
