I have submitted two posts, 2/8 and 2/16 but no one has answered or responded. I can really use some help!!!

dates don't help since posts are soon buried .. try bumping your two posts (but only try that once!)

+1 for bumping. Please remember that this is a volunteer run site, so sometimes posts go unanswered.

Find an answer by "nevets" and look at his post about Help Vampires(I'm not saying you are a HV). That post has a set of tricks to get questions answered.

Do not ask others to write a documentation in the reply.

Ask very specific questions.

Use plain English whenever possible.

Hint that your question is interesting.

Nice to be mentioned but you mean WorldFallz and a post like this one: http://drupal.org/node/1071242, see first comment.

Are you kidding? 4 pages of posts in your tracker, a member for 1+ years, you haven't so much as answered a single question for someone else and you seriously post here asking why no one responding to your posts? Just who is it you think answers posts in the forums anyway? If everyone behaved as you do there would be no one to help anyone else, sheesh.

Sorry for this posts, I was just trying to get answers and was waiting for a while. I have tried to answer questions before but it was not any help.

Sorry you haven't gotten answers to some of your posts. When I'm trying to get a question answered, I find that the IRC chatrooms work better than the forum. The responses are more immediate, and if someone doesn't answer right away, you can wait a reasonable period of time (15 minutes or half an hour) and post the question again.

So, what was it you needed help with?

Questions that go unanswered usually are either:
– too specific – for help with an exotic module, one should rather look to the module's issue queue;
– too general – e.g., "how do I build a cool site?" – with lots of sweat, I guess;
– inadequately describe the problem at hand – e.g., "my code throws an error!" but no code, no error message, just describes frustration.

And it always can be simply bad luck. Maybe browse forums for a while to see what are questions that _get_ answered like.

Exactly that's it!
Anyone can sort threads by reply-count and see what are good threads and what are not.
