We cannot leave Forum Posts Unaswered!!!

Last Update: May 06, 2010

It is beyond frustrating  to post a forum question and have it go unanswered!!!!   Did you know there is a link at the top left corner of the Forum Board Index that says "unanswered posts?"

 I read in the forum that a couple people have made a commitment to answer at least one forum post a day that has no answers posted.

I know one reason this happens is there are so many posts, it can get pushed to page two before you know it.

What a great idea.  I jumped right in and answered two questions that I have enough knowledge to give helpful advice.

I never even noticed the unanswered post link before!!!!

I can tell you I would have given up long ago on this without help from key people.  I made a buddy or two that have  gone beyond mentors and become friends. ALL because they took the time to answer one of my early newbie questions.

I have others buddies and members who I have learned which pieces of IM they have a particular expertise in, and I can ask them whenever I get stuck and they will answer me, and help me along the way.

So WA members I challenge you to take the time each time you log on to WA to check those unanswered posts and see if there is one you can give some help to!  It might even just be advice on which tutorial you found that answers the question  or a member to contact.

P.S. One of them, it seems is a post I made over two weeks ago!

I posted a question in the forum and did not get any answer myself. Did not realize the "unanswered post" link. After I read your blog I went trait too it and answered one. Great idea. Would like to become your 'buddy'.

Frankly, I wasn't aware of that either. Now, I'll look for it and answer at least one a day, if I can.

Hi Sue, it's wonderful to know a great set of people helping people. Only been on here 3 days but feel a great warmth in everyone i've had the pleasure to communicate with. If I can ever help in any way, just ask. Cheers, Peter...
