Ideas For Reinvigorating The Forums - Your Feedback Please

It was a question by CyberToolz. My response to him was that I had not found anything to compete. And yes I am always interested in information. It was an oops you responded to my post and I think your response should have been to him.

I have an education degree, I would not put this in, and I can tell you very few other people would either.

I shared the reason why I don’t post certain types of questions on these forums. Never wrote that I don’t post. :slight_smile:

Love the “if you don’t find the answer, then ask”. Just pointed out that the search ability can be improved.

I’m sure that it can be improved as sometimes I find the same difficulty to find relevant threads related to what I’m asking. And I do agree with many things what you said. It is true that we have to be more considerate and maybe link to those relevant threads (although staff members often do).

But I also agree with @ServerStorm ; that this is a two way conversation and the person who asks needs to be considerate too in two ways:

  1. By doing a search and trying to find if there’s any thread that solves the issue. Too often people simply posts and asks right away. They want us to do their homework. They don’t care if the same questions is asked over and over and over. We also need to search to find the right threads and direct them to those.

  2. By asking correctly, that is, giving enough information to solve the problem and be as specific as possible so we can suggest the right solution. Some people love to ask things like “How can I make money?”. We try to help as much as we can even if you feel like saying “working?”

As you said, trying things by yourself and doing your homework pays off in the end. Being lazy doesn’t.

And I’m drifted enough from the original topic so I’ll close my mouth
