Unanswered questions
I've noticed an upswing in other experts coming here to answer, though, Karl, perhaps in response to the rising number of questions. It's a good thing because it means a variety of experience and knowledge is brought to the table.
I think that there are always going to be unanswered questions, though, here and elsewhere.
It's often the case that the way a question is presented makes it hard to answer. Lack of detail is the biggest problem. Many of us can guess as to what's behind a particular problem, but I'm always uneasy when I do that because all too often the unstated details would have told a whole different story. It's happened to me more than once.
A while back I wrote a blog article about this. It's mostly still pretty relevant, I think.
Hi George,

+much improved load times. These pages were incredibly slow and cumbersome for 2-3 years. This has improved significantly some time ago and is for me, in addition to the increase in questions, a main reason why I am here more often than before.

- Load times would quite likely be a factor in more questions as well.
- This forum has benefited indirectly from the sad demise of the MSDN forums.
Another recent beneficial change has been to display more threads on the 'home page'.
Previously only 4 including the sticky thread that really isn't relevant any more. Now its far easier to see a larger number of recent threads.
Too often, the OP posts and never returns with any follow up...not just at this forum.
Will that happen here as well?Hi Colin,
> ...including the sticky thread that really isn't relevant any more
Yeah, I had asked the people in charge several times to unpin the outdated introduction post/thread. My latest attempt this week has been successful. 🙂
