Good question. Maybe @Chris-Maunder could help ? :rolleyes:
Alright, just posted my question[^] in another group here on CodeProject. I await the flurry of messages telling me to ask google (which I did, twice, and followed the path to increased confusion and non-answers). I'm just trying to get my screens to fade smoothly in a PDF file. So far, I have found nobody (including the use of google results) who knows the answer

I can't help you but you posted in the "Free Tools" forum which is a place to tell others about free useful tools. It needs to be in QA!

QA ? Quick Answers ?
Yes, otherwise you get either smart ass answers or none at all!

I just find it somehow ironical to ask, on a site that proposes a Q&A area and programming forums, where you could find a site that proposes a Q&A area and programming forums. It is pretty much the same than asking on facebook for a good site to post crap or stories about your cat. I am not sure what should be derived from that. :|

Okay, I just copied the question to the Quick Answers area. Should I delete it from the Free Tools area ?

For a good several years, StackOverflow provided great speed in answers, even if they were not always great quality. (They were frequently dead on the mark bullseye.) I am waiting for an answer in SuperUser (one of the StackExchange sites) and I wonder if I'll get one. Is this a recent phenomenon ? Is it Seasonal ? Labor day ?

Have you tried the LibreOffice community? https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/questions/[^] - at least you will be asking people who use it and may know?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

By the way, saw your response over there, sending me to google. Just wondering, I googled the question again. I'm the (temporary, I'm certain) star of the internet for this question. Google And Bing both found the topic: In my questions here and on StackOverflow.

Uh-Oh, somebody responded to free tools with exactly the same complaint that you just had. Now I can't delete it.

It's disconcerting when that happens, isn't it? First time it happened to me, I googled something I needed to do and top of the list was a tip here. That I'd written... and then forgotten... :O

All the same, it seems like going into McDonalds and ask them if they know a good alternative to Burger King... Stupid I mean! :doh:

There could be a lull in activity due to temporary to permanent burn out. Most knowledgeable people, who answer the questions, can't do this day in and day out, indefinitely. Also, if you are asking a "rare" question, which is a question that pertains to a topic or issue that not many developers have, then you may be waiting forever. -- There are no other sites. Honestly, if your search criteria is spot on, and you are not getting the results from Google, then "most" likely, there is no existing info to answer the question.

Yeah, that is a guaranteed way to get on a permanent watch list. Just remember, the government actually created Darknet and the Navy created TOR.
