I`ve seen the lounge and the vc++ forum. I notice that if you post question on the vc++ forum, you probably won`t satisfied with the answer given. Maybe that`s why people post programming question on the lounge. I think there are more great programmers in the lounge. So where will I post my programming question. Hmmm. What do u think :)

Only if it's a stupid question, or a homework assignment, or a very involved question that would be too difficult to answer in a limited space, or a question that nobody knows the answer to, or a post asking for somebody to write their code for them. But this doesn't mean that the answer is inadequate. I think a lot of people expect too much from the answers; they want complete solutions and are not willing to do a bit of investigation themselves. How do you think the people answering the questions know the answers? By learning it themselves. By investigating and researching. Certainly not by asking people to do their work for them; that won't help people to learn at all. goodmast3r wrote: Maybe that`s why people post programming question on the lounge. I doubt it. It's almost definitely because they don't bother to obey the instructions saying not to post programming questions. goodmast3r wrote: What do u think This site is designed for programmers to help others, hence the programming forums. The Lounge is specifically set up as a place where there will be no programming questions, so that people can just chill out, relax and have a bit of fun. That is why people get so uptight about programming questions here.

No, they post in the lounge because they are illiterate. !!! That's hilarious in particular :) And all-round, a good post :) Jason nirgle@gmail.com SonorkID 100.611

When did you start relaxing? More often, I think, questions don't get answered because they're incomprehensible - badly phrased, illiterate, or seriously incomplete. Sometimes they're not answered because the querent is obviously trying to do something any normal person would find objectionable and probably illegal. Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

I think thwe good programmers are in the lounge because they don't want to answer stupid questions right now? for those who complain: definition of stupid: homework questions, and everything that can be solv3ed with an MSDN search.

I've been active on the MS MFC newsgroup a couple of years, and you might learn how to put questions there. Do not write like this:
i have some kewl code that breaks when u run it. any1 no how u fix it?
or
I want my menus to work in a completely non-standard way, and I don't want to read any books, or check the documentation. Could someone please write my application for me? or even I have written some code like this: - tons of half-completed code - Why doesn't it work? What surprises me is the staggering amount of questions (well, in my opinion) where the poster seems to lack even the most basic understanding of the task. Why try to write networking code or do advanced UI coding before even learning the rudiments of c++ and/or the Windows API? And why not trying to find an article among the thousands doing something similar? Strange! There is nothing wrong with learning and asking, but sometimes you get the feeling that people have not stumbled on some specific problem, but rather tries to do stuff well beyond their current capacity. Either that or problems phrasing a question that it is possible to decode for another human being :-)

It looks like everybody thinks that i post a bad question, or a homework, or something that is bad. The truth is it`s a good question and not something that is bad. :)
No, you placed a very general question - I guess that most who answered you intended the answers in the same way. :)

I see a lot of questions that are not formed properly. They often lack essential information, e.g. The whole post is "I get an exception when I push a button on my WinForms application. What could be wrong?" Well, really - What is the exception, where does it occur, how about posting the surrounding code (NO! Not the code for your whole application). Or, and this is unusually common and I don't know why: "I'm creating a chat application. Where do I start?" Well...... There are a lot of posts that are asking for help because the author just simply doesn't know how to use the basic features of the debugger, or they want to create some complex application but they've only been coding for a couple of weeks and have no idea about proper architecture.

I think you're rowing up stream without a canoe. If a question is asked that can be understood, it's usually answered, and answered correctly. Maybe you were looking at the CodeGuru site and just got confused... People ask coding questions in the lounge because they're fuckin morons that are about as aware of their surroundings as seaweed. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

I notice that if you post question on the vc++ forum, you probably wont satisfied with the answer given. I don't believe this is true. I have posted plenty of programming questions in the C++ forum and I always get a great response in a short period of time. I have never had a problem. I know that when I am posting or "hanging out" in the lounge I always check other forums. I would assume that most other people do the same. That being said please refrain from posting programming questions in the lounge :mad: There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

I've seen far too many questions that could be answered with just a few minutes searching articals on right here on code project, and a much larger number that google would answer. A lot of the answers I give are just from memory of things I've read about, not actually done. Tells me that most people asking questions can't be bothered to do basic research. I'm about ready to quit reading the forums because the questions are so boring. Remember, when you do research you will find answers that are a lot longer and more in depth that anyone will write. So it is to your advantage. Then too, if you can say "I've read the following links, but I don't understand this one point..." you can get more helpful answers. (and I'll enjoy reading the links if it is something new to learn, making answering your question fun) I'm getting really close to responding to most questions with a simple form: I found this in 5 minutes of search code project and google. Do the same and learn something. No links included (even though I'm looking at them!).

[edit] my first response was really bad lol. If I am going to criticize someone, I hope to do this in a positive way, so that a person can learn from there mistakes. Colin you tell my logic is wrong, yet do not explain why, this is annoying and counter productive. Thinking about it now, i should not even be wasting my time over something so foolish. But what angers me is the fact that i hate replying to post or asking question because of people like you. The arrogance and pettiness that occurs at times (not always i think there are a few great guys in here too) makes me not want to post. I'd rather google for information than God forbid ask one the programming Lords here to get off there thrown and help little old me. And yes i Google, i search through articles (form many sites), MSDN, and whatever resources i can get my hands on. I would never leave a post unless the problem was so specific, finding any relating documentaion on the web has become futile. As much as I would love to contribute ( I have started answering C# and C++ questions in the forums and working on an article), i don't expect anything from you guys. Thats a real shame, cause i live in the US, but not in the best of neighborhoods, leaving my only contact with programmers you guys. I am self-taught and still have not gotten my foot in the door, but i do nothing but code and study when i can. The fact that i would rather spend hours searching the web than drop a post should show how stupid remarks can discourage those with real ehtics (and questions) from posting. Your reply colin was stupid and uncalled for, if my logic is faulty, point out the flaws. Such a close minded statements should not be coming out of a competent programmer.

This is true for a lot of questions posted. It is quite astonishing how many people are just that lazy or expect you to do the entire work for them. Surely it would be more rewarding to have done some research themselves. Ant. I'm hard, yet soft.
