I do have to say one thing about paying to post. No matter if you have a license or you don't and pay to post, I think that there should not be unanswered posts.. if you have to pay for it.

There are many unanswered. Many are because the poster was ignorant but if you pay to post, you deserve an answer.

The search does not always return a post on a subject because you did not use a categorized system. You have to be creative in your wording and read a lot to find answers with the forum search.

So see more if you have to pay to post, you should get an answer, even if it is a polite pointer to the posted answer you could not find.

I have spent so many hours finding the answers, just to determine if Dolphin was the right product for me in the first place. I just go there, so now I am going to purchase my license. But for a couple of months, I could not determine it, and I suspect that is the case with many people who check it out.

Categorization can go a long way, not just keywords..

ronklein3,
you are correct, if you pay to post, you should have an answer IF, you have actually posted a question that is logical and a complete sentence.

Thread Titles such as:

database error
body: i have a database error

really dont get much help, because there is nothing there to help.

the other thing you see in here is that there are many trying to do customizations without the knowledge to do so, and end up breaking their site.

first and foremost, backup your work before see more you start tweaking on it, file content and database.

PITA, yes of course, if you are not setup for doing such a thing. do not rely on your hosting service provider to restore your site six or seven times because you are making an effort of design development, and have not taken the necessary precautions and followed standard procedures when such an adventure is taken on.

i think you should pay to post and the pay to get an answer, that way incomplete sentences would no longer be asked. kinda like i think it was yahoo answers done at some point, you would post a question, and offer a price for the answer. whoever wants to jump on the question, will be paid, as the money would be held in escrow.


Regards,
