How does anyone get to answer one of your questions?

The Q&A forum is in place for peers to ask technical questions, and for other peers to suggest answers to the question.

There is a decent FAQ link on the Technical Q&A main page.

Since you have started a discussion, I assume that you are a member (peer). As such, you can log in, and click on the answer button for any question that you feel competent in answering.

If you have posted a question, and no-one is answering, I can give you some ideas.

1. The question is to vague. The peers don't know what you are asking for, and many will not post an answer unless they believe that they can provide the correct answer.

2. You have a very unique or complicated problem. Again, if no one feels qualified to provide an answer, they will not hazzard a guess.

3. You have asked a question that requires a lot of research, and are awarding only a few points.
If it takes a lot of effort to gather the information for the answer, many times you will not get an answer if the reward is small.

4. The power users (myself included) missed seeing the question. Close the question, and re-post it between midday and early evening (US time) This is when the most users will see the post.
