You'll find a lot of very helpful people on this site with a lot of skill and advise to offer.

I don't really understand your question. Do you mean you asked a question here and no one answered you? If so, this normally means either your question was not clear enough (like this one), or a person who knows the answer just hasn't read the question yet.
I've seen the second example happen quite frequently when someone from Europe asks a question when it is around midnight in the US and wonders why they don't get an answer after 4-6 hours. The reason is simple, folks in the US are sleeping. Although this is an international forum, the majority of activity occurs during the waking hours in the US.
Rest assured, if someone knows the answer to your question, they will answer it. I saw your other post and if that is a question, I sure as heck do not understand what you are asking.

Hi Marc
Thought I recognised your callsign from Military Modelling's 'Cries for help'. I've posted an answer there...

I don't have any say in the way the site is run. I have some editorial abilities (to assist in uploading, editing reviews and features) and have fairly unlimited gallery abilities (i.e. I can create albums, upload, move, edit photoes, etc.). I also have moderator abilities in forums that I moderate (all of sci-fi, buy/sell, some armor subcategories).
Jim recently tried putting out a call to have various "hosts" in the subcategories (which is why I lost moderating abilities in some armor subcats like Axis Armor). We barely got enough "host" volunteers for some of the major subcategories let alone get enough volunteers to be handing out additional time zone related duties.
The original poster asked a question a 8:52 AM GMT and five minutes later at 8:57 is wondering why no one has answered a vague unstated question. Ten minutes later, someone (Mary) tried asking for clarification. I think that's a pretty timely response.

It would also help, if when posting, if you used slightly more conventional language. Many of us have neither the time (nor the inclination) to try and decipher what you're trying to say. Most of us on the forums DON'T post as if we're sending SMS messages. The English language with all it's quirky little aspects (grammar, spelling etc.) is a wonderful creation, you could try using it.... - just a suggestion...Jim

hey MArc
I'm sort of a newbie here myself. Everybody here has been very helpful. I've found out if you give them alot of info in the question as to what you're wanting, then you'll get alot more info in the reply. "yes, I'm speaking from experience
" And if you're not sure what froum to put it in, just ask, either the staff or a member will direct you. " been there to." Please give them a day to answer. I find if I post a question and wait a day, I have several answers waitng. Jerry

Hey there bud,
Firstly, once again welcome to the big "A"...
Secondly, regarding your question in your other post... I think I may have given you a start there... check it out
Okay, now regarding this question... you gave us a whole 5 minutes to answer your question before making this post... hey buddy, give us some time... remember there are tons of folk here from different time zones... many of us are heading off to get some shut-eye while you're having lunch...
We are definitely all interested in what each member of our global community is doing, however we may just not know the answer...
If I could put a personal request for a favour out to you... please try to articulate yourself a bit better... you'll find you'll have a lot more replies... Many of us found this out the same way you just have... :-) :-) :-)
Cheers
Rudi
p.s. --- Tell us something about yourself... this is afterall the Introductions forum...

Jim, on any other website in which I post on forums, nothing competes with Armorama.
I can honestly say that under 50 posts exist by me on all other sites combined.
I hit 500 with: "Oh brother" because I could see the underlying silliness building and chose to limit myself to that.
Hi Marc,
There are no bad questions.
I find that there are silly answers
I usually voice them first
Welcome to Armorama!

Marc, if you keep on posting, you know, asking questions, we will always do our best to answer and keep you modeling. Do you have some family or friends with a digital camera? I'm sure everyone here would love to see your modeling!

I think you will get a better response if you type in normal english. You aren't using and capitalization or punctuation which makes it very difficult to understand.
