On of our roles in the Linux Community is to help others! We give and take, there are 20 Pages of unanswered post that need your help.

Click me to search! (http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/search.php)

Please don't just answer to see the Zero go away or to see your post count go up. Give a real anser that might be helpful. Even on the last page the date is : 2004-12-28 06:40 PM CST so that tells you how busy this forum is and how great the mods/admins do to help out the Fedora Community, so lets give some back.

Wouldn't it be awesome to see 20 pages go down at least 1 a day if not more.

Do your part and lets get kicking. :cool:

Make the link up there part of your daily favorites that you visit in your browser and check on it daily/hourly/ever-other-minute :rolleyes:

I'm trying, I'm trying. There's just so many bits and so little BogoMIPS. :)

I really dont understand your point. But I have to say that this forum does much better compare to other forums (coughs like mandrakeusers) I posted a question there about my laptop and more than a week went by and got no answer.

Sometimes the question or thread being posted needs to be more specific or it gets replied with another question. I guess some of us tried to help with the little time that we have. Most of us are regular users that have jobs and family.

Some of my answers are related to the little I know about linux. With some topics I am familiar with others I am not. Which could be the case for a lot of us. Just the mods and adms are more knowledgeable with heavy stuff. My respects to crackers!

Point: I thought it was pretty obvious, help/answer questions!!! ;-)

I to have a family and work anywere from 50-80 a week so I know what it likes. I was only trying to stir people up a little more to help others, that is all. ;)

I am seeing that a lot of those posts have replies, the replies are just made as a seperate post. I am assuming this because many of the posts begin with "Re:". I don't think there are as many unanswered posts as the forum system software thinks there are.

[cybrjackle]

Actually, you need to also change Search in Forum(s) to Fedora Support otherwise you get the mailing list responses too

[greatscot]

Aha, thank you for that info.

I support this effort to exterminate the zero reply posts. In fact, I already look for them while browsing.

Even if I can only point in the vague general direction that helps, because otherwise people feel ignored.

The problem is keeping up with the volume, which is why we need your help!

How about putting an 'unanswered posts' link next to the 'new posts' link on the home page?

Point well made cybrjackie...

However, some of us are only relative beginers ourselves... but IF you can contribute something constructive to someone asking a question, please do so. I have found help from even the most obscure post sometimes.

Part of the learning process with linux is in developing the mindset to search for answers here and elsewhere, so I would like to encourage other forum members to contribute if you feel you can be of genuine help to a fellow core user.
