OK, so I have a problem with Technology. Y'know how everyone asks questions and stuff? I've noticed that they make a topic and a while later, they don't come back anymore and they don't respond. And some people are just bumping those topics! Perfect example, this.
I think we should make a time limit on how long the request for help can be valid. 'Cause I really don't like these topics being bumped and usually, the topic starters don't care anymore. Or at least we should make them required to respond with like "Oh, problem solved." or "I still need help." or something like that. Yeah.. |

I personally see the help topics in technology more similar to the design forum help topics than the homework help topics, the difference being that for homework, there is an actual deadline.
In the design help forums, not everyone returns and tells us that their problem is solved, so their topics remain open. However, I'm sure that if an old topic is unnecessarily bumped, it would be closed. I think it should be (and I thought it was that way, but apparently not) the same way in the technology forum. |

I've always had this same perspective. You just really can't compare questions in Technology to questions in School. People generally have the same, or similar questions regarding computers, software, etc that others may also need further assistance or answers for. Sometimes their questions might be different. I would rather have a topic expanded upon than have multiple similar topics opened. (If that makes sense)What might be a decent idea, or something to think about perhaps is making a FAQ Pinned Post (and keeping it updated) of commonly asked questions such as: - Problems with IE - Sound Problems - Recovering a File Those are just examples I took from the first few pages. |
