No, it would have been simple if you posted the code here. Why would I click on your name, how is your name relevant to anything c or c++ related? [Edit] And you're cross posting? :laugh:

As I said: I am new to these discussion boards. This is my first one. I thought questions were posted under the designated questions area where there is a dropdown box in the top right corner next to your username. Whenever you go to someones profile there is an option to look at their questions and answers, etc. I added a direct link. Apparently guidance is not something you are willing to give. Just insults. Which is something that was in the how to answer questions post if I am not mistaken. I specified that I was new to the discussion boards. my program question is way too long to post on here anyways. I was just posting on here to raise awareness of my question. That is posted in the formal questions area. I thought questions belonged in the Questions area. That is what my deduction told me.

Then you should read http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/2922875/HOW-TO-ASK-A-QUESTION.aspx[^] rather than getting angry with someone who is merely trying to understand your original post.

This is the formal question area. post in one place only.

I did not get angry until he started making fun of me. This is labeled discussions. The other place is labeled Questions. it made more since to place my question in questions. especially as long as it is.

I did not post my question in two places. Just asked that someone would go take a look at my question. I just stumbled upon the discussion boards today and noticed people pay more attention to it, after I had already posted my question.

He did not make fun of you. He tried very hard to get you to explain what your problem was, which you never did.

Fine, but you did not need to start a discussion about it here; that serves only to confuse.

Posting a message here that points to a question elsewhere is considered the same as posting it twice.

The laughing at me smiley face, etc. Wasnt making fun? Ok.I did explain. I posted a direct link straight to my problem. I was unaware discussions were for questions too. I only posted the discussion to raise awareness of my question. I did not realize I was doing something wrong. And if you did in fact read through the whole thread you would see that I mentioned that on multiple occasions. I am new to this site and those of you who are not should just guide others and explain processes to them if they dont quite get it. Not attack them over and over again.I still don't see how posting a link to a question is posting it twice, just gives another access point. Now, please stop attacking me and go on about your business. I will not post here after this thread again for quite some time if ever. I will stick to the area labeled questions.

No.

Did you read http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/2922875/HOW-TO-ASK-A-QUESTION.aspx[^]?

Not clearly.

Because that is the protocol here. If you post a question in one place and then post somewhere else pointing to the question you are adding unnecessary clutter to the forums.

No one is attacking you, we are just trying to expalin how this site works.

A laughing smiley face is making fun. I did look over that briefly, after realizing it was at the top of the forum. My question doesn't seem suitable for a thread if you ask me. Have you seen the size of it? It contained two codes, inputs, and outputs for 100 iterations. And my deduction still would say now that posting a question so large would not be appropriate for a thread. I did clearly say many times that I was new and unsure how to use threads after I saw that he misunderstood. His first reply seemed to me like he had looked at my program and I didn't catch otherwise till later on. I had asked if anyone could see any problems with my program and his reply was not that I can see. So I thought he had seen it and didn't find an issue. I don't see how trying to get someone's attention directed to a question that required some much needed help was such an addition of clutter. When you keep on my case with harshness instead of kind guidance then yes that is attacking in my book.

Not in this forum; it indicates that the writer is not being too serious.

Because it is an unnecessary message. All questions can be viewed by all members, and will be answered as and when someone has something useful to respond. If everyone who posted questions added messages such as you did, then the forums would be overflowing with messages that just add confusion.

Is it harshness to try and explain the proper way of using these forums?
