DId anyone realize that 45 pages out of 51 in this forum contains threads with 0 replies ??

I personnally did scan through all of them to answer to all the thread I was able to, but I have troubles assuming that all these threads cannot be answered, at least once!

I think we should all do an effort to, at least, refer them to the good ressources if we can't help! Because, personnally, if i were in their position, I would really like to get an answer!

I agree, although I have to say that I feel like most of the questions asked on this site are answered in a correct way.

Yeah, this is true!
I am not complaining about the good work that is done, of course! People on this forum do a great job!

But I would just feel bad if I were in this part of the 45 pages who were not answered at all, you know what I mean...

That's all!

I do my part on answering those 0 reply threads, however it should be noted that quite a few of them are un-noticed double posts, easily found from a search, or threads that do not need replies (I got it working!!! for example).



Cool

Also a lot of the posts are repeat questions, I've noticed this a lot, and I've only been here a week I don't know what the regulars think, but it grinds me down

I try my best with the zero replies but I'm no Linux guru, and sometimes the people who do know the answers miss the post.

0 replies != unanswerable questions

Like those before me pointed out, many of them are repeat questions and if the poster had used the search feature, (s)he would have solved his/her problems without even posting. I have no sympathy at all for these people, but I will try to at least post a useful URL for them to read.

Some are really strange questions which are particularly application/hardware-specific and I won't know how to help them with this because I don't have the things they are having problems with.

We do try and help everyone - more often than not, the threads with no replies are difficult to answer for one reason or another......................

I agree. I am going through "a lot" of those 0 replies threads as well because I would like to try to help. I was able to get some solutions to some of them, but some are really very hard to answer.

And somehow, if I was one of those people, I'd be rather reading a solution than a post of somone telling me that he has read my thread but was not able to find a solution - I can see through the VIEWS as to how many have read it anyways.

Just hard to say, som are really difficult to answer in my opinion.

Other than that, I must again thank all of those that are helping other users day in and out...it's a great "FREE" service hehe

I always open any that say 0 unless I now I cannot help, personally nobody has ever answered one of mine. EVER

Distribution: Slackware 9.0 - heavily hacked

you don't need help just kidding hehe - I'm sorry but I haven't been with linux for a long time yet, but I also hope this changes and that everyone gets his answers in a positive way some day...

I should prbably also not I have only asked 2 questions and they are really quite advanced ones :-P http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=84403
that link has both of them in it (my old ones seem to have disapeard.

I have only one question on this forum, with one reply from me and 35 views. SInce nobody replied, I've assumed nobody knows

I think he needs to clear cache or refresh lol.


ammendment to that:

I thaught he was thread starter, my bad.

I answer all the questions I can. But some people are good in one area, some in another. Linux is a lifetime learning experience.

I've been posting heavily the last four or five days and have already answered the same question several times.

darthtux I know how you feel, I joined 2 or 3 days ago and check my post info.
