Default Horrible results on the help I have sought since last November

You folks have some great forums, great hacks, but my personal results from asking for direction since last November has been horrible. Perhaps you are overwhelmed here and lack enough admins or moderators to look after the various forums here and what is being posted.

Here is a copy:

I posted the following sometime ago and have had no answer:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=101311

If anything, perhaps you can show me where the correct forum is to answer the above topic link.

Thanks,

David

PS: No spell check option here?

In the most cases, only requests that are going to be used a at least a handful of people are picked up from the requests forums. This is a very specific request for your site and as such is probably more suited as a service request.

You did post in the correct forum, but it is the nature of the request teamed with the fact that there hasn't been anyone else jumping in the thread saying that they would like that too that has most likely resulted in it not being picked up by anyone.

The spell check is something that is found in 3.5.x not 3.0.x and so is not available here at present.

<off topic-ish>
Is there really any need for the now [high]three[/high] threads you have posted about this?

your request is a good and useful one for some, but as you know, this site is not related to Jelsoft, and we are not hired by Jelsoft to answer members requests to all means.

if the request was not answered may be because no coder was able to find a solution, or nobody had time to make the code you are requesting...

and the best suggestion we can make is that when your request is so important and essential, and if nobody answer it in the forum you posted it, you'd be good to try posting that request in the Services Requests forum, where a professional coder could do the job for a fee... this is the meaning of that forum...

EDIT: i'm 100% sure that all active coders here will try to find an answer to this thread... many will be insulted too.. lol

I've been suggesting for over a year that the requests forum have some sort of review/escalation system with regards to developing hacks so there's no such thing as an abandoned request, but no joy....

I've posted two requests in there in the last month (as Club3G) and have gotten responses to both immediately. I think it depends on the scope of the job, and if you're up front about what you're willing to pay.

The $50 Code Job thread I posted had me 12 PMs in less than an hour. Let the coders know that you value their time and chances are they'll be more apt to take on the job.

If there is no response, I recommend adding it to the SERVICE REQUEST forum.

Someone will respond to you...
- the more details you offer the better chances you have.
- provide a prototype / image / mockup of what you would like, etc.
- add an estimate of how much you are willing to pay for such services. TIP: Experienced coders will not bother with small potatoes.

Thank you all for the help you offered. No one in nearly 3 months has offered any help or any direction or any other forum link (except Chris-777 yesterday) that I should consider - except you all in this Site Feedback forum.

And yes, we do pay folks to help us. You'd think that the paid coders would have come along in 3 months and offered me the link to another forum to get this solved (at my expense, of course).

Again, my many thanks for your post.

Usually getting help depends on the time involved for an end result.
(research, testing, support)

- Some are in it for the money.
- Some are in it because of similar interest.
- Some don't read everywere all the time.
