This Site

Is it just me or does this site seem a bit slow. Im not sure how this is supposed to work but is there staff here thats suposed to assist or is it just members assisting each other. Ive posted some questions and when I later find the answer which is never answered here Im suprised it wasnt considering how simple it was. Im not sure as I may be posting in the wrong section but Ive noticed thread replys are low generally and even views seem to be. Anyway just my thoughts...

Site doesnt load slow for me, but I use cable internet, so usually everything is fast, lol.

And if questions are explained and posted in the correct section, im sure someone will see it and answer it..mostly members help members, but staff do help aswell.

I think he means the responds times to questions.

I think what it may be is I see alot of great hacks and info here although maybe the site is not geard for trouble shooting which is some of the posts that I had gotten little to no response on. Anyway stiill a great site...

what i see actually is that you always post requests that are a bit complicated to perform...

it's not because you make a request that a coder will prompt to code it... this community is here to share, not work as requested... most of the guys here will do the codes they are interested in because they will use it, or just because they are one line of code...

i've read most of your threads actually, and they are all requests for specific features that are not existing, or even impossible to create...

remember that coding is not like in real life... a feature you're interested in may not exists just because it is impossible to create in the normal parameters... if you are ready to hire a coder to answer all your requests, this may be the solution for you... the forum "Services Requests" in the bottom of the forumhome will be the place!

Well as I stated even if I dont get all the answers Im looking for its still a great site.
Also we happen to be very fortunate that we have a great coder on our site...

You can't always expect to get instant reults on the things you want. No one is a machine here and you have to take into account that other things are in queue ahead of what you need. Be patient and you'll be taken care of, everyone is always in a rush nowadays and wants things instatnly......it can't always be that way.

Thats hardly my point actually it was that some things I posted were already possible which was my goof for not knowing. When I figured it out was suprised it wasnt mentioned. As for most of the other requsest Ive made I know most of them are a bit complicated...

Considering that support is completly free here and that members/staff are taking the time to read/respond to your reponses, I'm suprised people complain about the time it takes for responses to be responded fully. And sometimes, it's not even staff or members. Many people who post question hardly ever supply enough info, or ask for a magical fix to a problem in which a person helping has no idea on the background of.

I would certainly be greatful for any support I got here - because when you think about it, people are taking time to respond to your problems for nothing. We have a great support team here for hacks and random questions, but it can't always be great or have instant response times.

FYI, I respond to quite a lot of questions and frequently get infuriated by the lack of information which you don't get even when you ask for it. This isn't just from new members either. And there is nothing worse than posting a long list of different ways to acheive something via standard vB settings manipulation and get a response like 'No, can't do that'. It's then like, 'why? do you get an error or something?' and then I am lucky to get a reply back.

From the perspective of someone who spends quite a lot of time responding to questions, there is only so much you can do when you don't get given essential information or the person asking the question gives nonsense answers or just never replies back to you.
