How do I get my questions to be answered faster?

I was just wondering because I asked a question 2 hours ago and it still has not been answered.

Bear in mind the 'community' on this site is only active members (e.g. paid subscribers, AFAIK there's no way for anyone to post unless they are a paid member, staff, etc). Plus, not all active members even check/or are active, or know enough to answer your question immediately.

If you have a question you need answered quickly, and you're having difficulty finding the answer via searching - check popular developer hangouts - StackOverflow, Quora (sort of), various forums, etc. I normally get answers within a couple of minutes to most of my code-related questions on SO - even despite them normally being very specific, fringe-case questions.

I would recommend posting your question(s) on Treehouse AND other mediums of your choice, not only for a faster response but because it exposes you to a wider variety of developers and communities with different backgrounds, ideas, etc.

Hi Jack,

Adefee had some great suggestions for you, but I would like to add:

  • Always try to use a clear title to your post

  • Describe the problem in details, if it's code related, post your code with the question. Remember to explain what you have tried, and why it didn't work (what error did you receive?).

People are more likely to answer you if they understand your question, I hope that helps.

Good luck and happy coding Jack!
