Hope you will consider adding a few more boxes to the user profile ie:
Windows [version], [32], [64] same for Mac
BIAB [version], [build]
RB same
(a) most people do not supply the basic info when submitting.
(b) a lot of people do not know where to add this info in their profile.
"SO" many times a question / complaint gets delayed until the user gets back with the info therefore causing delays until the above is known.
DE
Win 10, 64 bit, love my Lenovo T420, BIAB 2019 (613), RB 2019 (2)
Short term memory is getting shorter.

DE, thanx for reminding me to do that.
PS - I just did!
Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Boy of boy when I finally retire you folks will have a handful dealing with me.  But don't worry, the way things are going that won't be for a long long time.  I think you guys are blowing this "BIAB system requirements" way overboard. I have seen BIAB running on laptops, desktops, notebooks - across all sorts of hardware setups and MS operating systems. With the exception of recording-latency issues which are generally attributed to external hardware and it's drivers and interfaces with keyboards (again external), BIAB has never been difficult to run on a simple PC configurations. And while I am at it, I am getting a little perturbed with all these newbees dropping in with complaints and then never being heard from again. The issues which they may be having with BIAB are generally 1) User problems, or 2) Workflow problems. You guys do a good job dealing with both of these issues, but only if the OPs stick around to learn the program. OK, I will be quite now, got to get back to work.
BIAB – 2026, Reaper (current), i7-12700F Processor, 32GB DDR4-3200MHz RAM, Motu Audio Express 6x6 - My SoundCloud.

I have mixed feelings on this. I haven't noticed any more hit-and-run than usual, but I only visit a few subforums where most of the requests for help appear. I agree BIAB works on a wide range of conditions, and system-related specs are less critical than a few years ago. An exception is an underpowered computer that can choke on too many fast-generated RealTracks. Another is a laptop with no additional sound card.
As long as those who need help will answer basic questions, we can generally track down solutions. Most who need help wouldn't know what info to volunteer initially.
The ones that get me fooled occur when someone posts a problem in a forum not for Windows or Mac, and we go around awhile before discovering someone uses a Mac when we assumed it was a PC (or rarely, the other way around). If nothing else, I would like to know up front which platform it is.
BIAB 2026 Win Audiophile. Software: Fender Studio One 8, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Presonus Quantom HD8 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.

Long time regulars that have the patience to answer the same questions over and over amaze me. The forum would be nothing without them. We all owe them a great deal of gratitude as we always expect them to be there for us. Sometimes something happens or they just decide to move on like Mac did and we all get to see just how big a hole just one person can leave behind. I thought of mentioning each contributor but feel sure I would neglect to mention a name or two so instead ... To all the long term contributors that spends their precious time helping the rest of us my most sincere thank you!

I think it's important that the specific product version that's being used is listed. Many times a question is asked that we know works OK, only to find out through further questioning that they are using an older version and the feature is not supported. Or the method to use the feature has been changed, one example is the Stylepicker in 2016 compared to earlier versions.
