The simple way to get less threads ignored, instead of trying to figure out subscriptions, and hiring more people, would be to just help out where you can, and if you cant, learn untill you can.

What Zachery says is true... in my experience it's the more complicated questions that sometimes go ignored though so we do need more knowledgeable people on here.

this is true....
i can sometimes KNOW - can tell - even before im done posting a thread that it's going to be ignored based on how complicated my question is....

More complicated questions, generally will get a response if you've shown some sort of initiative.

I've tried x y z and its not doing what I wanted, or I thought I' could do it this way etc.

People posting for someone else to do everthing they want gets the least ammount of responses.

This is an old discussion, and I doubt it will ever be resolved. JelSoft directs everyone seeking help with customizing their forum, to this site. Yet this site is overwhelmingly focused on hacks/hackers, rather than general programming help and assistance. In fact, the discussions that would be most beneficial to those wanting general coding support is hidden from the general user. The price of admission is, of course, publishing a hack: quite the insular, protectionist little circle.

I have no problem if this site wants to be "Hack Central", but JelSoft shouldn't direct people here for general customization questions. Too many users are being bounced from here to vBulletin.com, and from there back to here.

There are several vBulletin related "coding" forums, but they have become obsessed with and overwhelmed by SEO, AdSense, forum promotion topics, or they try to be .org clones with their own "hacks". They all recycle the same topics and even the same userbase endlessly.

The forum owner interested in learning the software and coding their own modifications is pretty much left to learn on their own. That's not a bad thing, of course, but JelSoft is setting the wrong expectations about the role of .org.

these guys are not robots be patient. you will get your answer when someone is free.

From my experience here since 2001, the more you are specific in your request for help, the faster you get an answer.

Myself I can't really complained. Everything that I now, I learned from other people here and other forums. Marco for example has been instrumental in helping me understand arrays in coding. Paul M and many others have helped me also.

Perhaps a lot of threads go unanswered because they are posted in the wrong thread. If someone has a question about a hack and starts a new thread it's unlikely that the author or any users of said hack who have subscribed to the release thread will read the question.

For example if the following threads had been posted in the vbookie thread, then they would have got support.

Or then again they may not have gotten support as if they were already in the vbookie thread they could have used the 'Search this thread' option and read the results instantly!
