have you noticed how slow it is on here? like..those questions have been up for the past 3 hours the SAME ones..and i asked one like 2 hours ago and its still not up..why is it like that?
And they also tell you that after you send a question and that page comes up telling you that, and it's the same page that gives you the link to your question and the option to add more information unto it.
karenR answered Friday September 29 2006, 9:12 pm: Let me try to explain what is going on.
There are 10 pages of questions available for you to answer at any one time. In the past, a lot of questions were getting only one or two answers.
The reason for this...or part of the reason anyway, was that a lot of people are not answering questions beyond the first couple of pages.
Every time we approve a question it shoves all those on page one back a page. So we have slowed down the question approval.
Now instead of just coming on and approving questions to get them out there, we stop and see how many answers the questions on page one have.
If they have a few answers, we approve more questions. It does slow down the time it takes to get your question seen on the site, BUT hopefully
you will get a few more answers to help you out.
We have also added more questions per page. Be patient. Your question will show up soon.
And if anyone has spare time. Check beyond the first page for questions. Someone with only one answer on the back pages will appreciate it! :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
