FAQ
What is the purpose of this website?
This is an online community website that simply allows people to ask questions for others to answer. This service is free to use even if you do not register.
How can I find the question I want an answer too?
You are able to find questions that have been previously asked simply by typing your question into the
text box on the home page and clicking on the submit button. Based on what you enter, this website will
find the best questions that match what you are looking for. You can think of this website as a search
engine to find questions that have already been asked.
You can also view all the questions asked within
the various categories listed within this website. These categories are listed on the left side of the home page.
Once you have found your question, simply click on the question and all the current answers to that question will
be displayed.
What if I cannot find the question I am looking for?
Ask it. After you try searching for your question, you will be allowed to submit your question for others to answer.
Simply enter the question on the home page as a new question for people to answer.
How long will it take for answers to appear to my questions?
Depends. This website will display your question for others to answers as soon as you submit your question. There
is no waiting period before others are able to start answering questions. This website will also "broadcast" your question
to the major search engines for others to find.
How will I be notified once my question (or any question) is answered?
Once your question has been submitted, you will be given a link to click on to be notified once the question is answered.
The notify link is an RSS (really simple syndication) feed that will allow your computer to notify you once someone answers your
question. The basic concept is that your web browser or RSS software will automatically check this website to see if answers to your
questions have been posted and notify you to check this website to view the answers.
Once you click on the notify link, your browser will ask if you want to subscribe to the feed. Once you subscribe, your
browser will check for answers automatically whenever you use the browser.
If you want to be notified when a previously asked question is answered (even though it was asked by someone else), you
can click on the Notify Me link next to the question. Same as before, once you subscribe to the feed your browser will notify
you when questions are answered.
Why can't I receive an email when my question is answered?
In order to cut down on the amount of emails floating around on the internet and to keep your mailbox manageable, it was
decided to notify users via RSS feeds (
see previous question) rather than emails.
We did not want to clutter everyone's email box every time
someone answers a question. By using RSS feeds, questions are organized per feed and are easily managed by your web browser.
How do I answer questions that have been posted?
Simply click on the "Submit Your Answer" link next to the question that you want to answer. After submitting your answer,
the website will automatically include your answer to the list of answers to the question.
Can I change the question or answer after I have posted it?
No. This allows the content to remain unchanged to allow people to vote on the best answer over time.
Am I able to enter anything for the questions and answers I want to post on this website?
Yes and no... You are able to enter any text for your questions and answers as long as it does not contain any
inappropriate words and does not contain misspellings. This is needed to help make sure that the content posted on this
website is appropriate. This website will notify you as soon as one of these violations occurs.
What happens if I noticed inappropriate content on this website?
You can simply click on the report abuse link for the question or answer that contains the inappropriate content.
Once the link is clicked, you will be able to enter your report for us to review. After the review, the answer or question
that is reported will either be accepted or deleted from our website. Once deleted, it will be removed. If accepted, the report
abuse link will be removed for the question or answer and the question or answer will remain on this website.
All reports will be reviewed in the order
they are received. There is no guaranteed time frame for the review however we will review all reports as soon as possible. Until
the review occurs, the content will remain with an indication that it has been flagged as abuse.
What are the best answer leaders?
The best answer leaders simply displays the users who have provided the best answers to various questions. Registered users have
the ability to vote on the best (and worst) answer to the various questions. Each vote contains a point value based on the answers
provided. The leaderboard will display the user with the most points.
There are two levels to the best answer leaders. The overall leaderboard is displayed as soon as you enter the website. This displays
the users with the best answers across all questions within this website. Each category leaderboard is displayed as soon as you
view a question for a specific category of questions. The category leaderboards will display the users with the best answers
within that category.
I have noticed a vote score, how am I able to vote on the best answer?
First, you must be registered and logged into to this website. After that, you will be provided links to vote for the
best answer and the worst answer for each question. You will be allowed to vote once for the best and worst answer for each
question. If you try to vote more than once, only the last vote will be saved and your prior votes will be deleted for that
question.
