What is the best time to ask a question?


Question Posted Wednesday August 15 2007, 1:02 am

Whenever we need advice fast, we go here right? Well, it sometimes takes a while to process though Advicenators with all the moderators off and out and about, forgetting about all of the poor people who need quick advice! Well, I'm wondering, what is the best time to ask a question? Weather its 1 in the morning, at 8 at night, What is the best time?

Thank alot [:

You can ask anytime. The questions are put out 10 at a time. No more will be approved until those 10 get some answers. That way, everyone gets their question answered by at least 1 person.
Takes a little longer to get your question on the site but at least the question isn't ignored.

With school starting back up for some, I would guess
late afternoon, early evening is when most will be
on answering questions. But, like Razhie said, there
really isn't any need to wait. If its a real emergency don't wait for an answer here. :)

If it's an urgent issue why would you wait around until the best time to ask? It might get up on the site a bit quicker when you do ask, but you still would have waited, likely even longer then you would have if you'd just asked it when ya thought of it.

The most people seem to be on the site in the late afternoon and early evening, but basically a question will just get posted when a moderator desperately finds a moment after being off and out and about with their busy life full of work, school, children or perhaps some mix off all three.

Having said that, I've noticed very few questions getting approved between 1 am and 7 am site time, if that helps you at all! Apparently our mods also sleep a bit between all of that!

I'm not sure if you are talking about questions that NEED quick advice or just questions you want advice for quickly.

EVERYBODY wants good advice as quick as possible, but I think more of that depends on what the columnists who are online right then have to offer then how fast the question gets approved.

Most people can wait an hour or two for their question to be posted. They might not *want* too, but the advice will normally be just as good and useful when they get it.

If someone really can't wait an hour to be approved, then Advicenators.com might not be the best resource for them. Calling someone or finding a chat room would be a better a bet for that person.

normally people answer right away depending on the difficulty of the question but I think anytime is the same because everyone has different time zones so people alternate and stuff but I think mid afternoons best the later it gets the less people to answer i think
