Do not PM questions directly to Community Experts

[Niheel]

In a word

Please Don't

OK I admit that was 2 words but nothing in software was ever specified properly.

Here are the reasons why you should post in the forum rather than PMing a Community Expert

• You have no gaurantee that the expert you have PM'd knows anything about the subject you are asking about.
• You have no gaurantee that the expert in question hasn't just gone on holiday for 4 weeks to Hawaii resulting in a delay to the answer to your question.
• If you post the question in the forums then everyone gets to see the it. This means that there is a far higher chance that someone who already knows the answer will see the question than if you just ask 1 person.
• It's good to spread questions and knowledge. Remember if you have a question then it is likely that someone else in the world has a very similar question. By asking your question in the open forum and getting a reply there the information is available for everyone to read and learn from.
• Finally to encourage people to post some of the Community Experts (myself included) have taken to PMing back asking the originator to post the question in the forums rather than answering the question (assuming we know the answer).

Thank You for your co-operation citizen

It's very strange that not even a single question of mine is answered by anyone in your forum. None of the person has even tried to guide me that if I am going in right direction or the wrong one. This is very forrustrating for me especially in the sense that there is a huge think tank of web developers expert.
Please tell me that what type of questions are answered at your forum or atleast tell me what was wrong in the way of questioning so that I can correct it.

Please tell me that what type of questions are answered at your forum or atleast tell me what was wrong in the way of questioning so that I can correct it.

Your question clearly stated that

1. You where trying to use a single login to another website for the whole company even though this was strictly speaking not allowed, by logging into a company server and having the company server log into the further website for you.

2. You had tried some things but they hadn't worked.

So the basic problem with your question for me is that 1, you are trying to get round another companys usage T&Cs. 2 you have not provided enough detail about your problem, you give a description of the problem but no description of what you have already attempted and why it didn't work. How is anybody meant to suggest to you something you have not already tried if we don't know what you have already tried.

I refer you to the guide lines that appear when making a new post, particularly the bits I have highlighted.

Please follow these guidelines when posting questions. Submitting clear and concise questions allows those reading to understand your problem and respond easily.

* Post your question in a relevant forum
* Give a clear title to your question
* Give as much detail as possible
o Clear explanation (in english)
o Platform / OS / Version
o Language
o Source code
o Input used
o Error Codes
* Write in clear concise language using correct grammar and spelling

I just wonder, how long is considered 'normal' to wait for a reply? i posted to ASP http://www.thescripts. com/forum/showthread.php? p=2314808#post2 314808 and it looks like that forum is quite dead. Thanks
