How to ask questions in the Lounge

Topic

New Reply

[Susan Bradley]

You can ask questions in one of two ways:

If you’ve logged in, you can create a new Topic in one of the designated “Ask questions here” forums (more about which below), or you can reply to an existing Topic.

If you aren’t logged in – you’re posting anonymously, you can’t create a new Topic, but you can reply to an existing Topic. Remember that all anonymous posts are moderated (approved) before they’re made visible.

Here are the most popular topics for posting your own questions:

Windows 10

Windows 8.1 (and Win 8)

Windows 7

Office

Microsoft Surface

Outside the box

Rants

Click on the link above, scan the Topics to figure out if somebody’s already asked the question and if not (and you’re logged in) feel free to create a new Topic.

AskWoody MVPs will moderate the posts. If they find something’s overlapping, they can mash and merge the Topics to make things right.

Note that if you are using a VPN and you are having issues accessing the forums, check the IP address you have been assigned on this site and see if it’s deemed “clean”. Many VPN services assign you an IP address that has been used in past attacks on web sites.  Try a different IP address or country location if you are blocked. Otherwise reach out to customersupport@askwoody.com

If you’re posting anonymously, and you create a new Topic, it won’t get read. Sorry, but that’s a limitation I need to keep my sanity. There are only so many 24-hour days in a year.

Suggestions? Post here.

We have a few pages that aren’t https. I’ve got the devs working on it.

Which http page did you hit?

Thanks!

I’m seeing little green padlocks on the login page (using FF).

If you are seeing that the security isn’t functioning properly on the log-in page, you should be able to use the top right widget box to log in from a properly secured page, i.e. the home page.

I thought I posted a new topic about an hour ago and I don’t see it anywhere about SQL Servers. I read this ” Click on the Subscribe link and you’ll be “subscribed” to the Topic — you’ll receive email notifications of new activity within the Topic. (Right now the Subscribe link also appears at the top of some forums. It doesn’t work. You can only subscribe to Topics. The site devs are hunting it down.) Forget where at u have to go to so many pages here to do something am very frustrated. How do u post something on this site???????????????????????????

don't know what a signature is?

It went into the spam filter, same as this one – apparently your multiple ? set off a trigger!
🙂 They need to be cleared manually; both have been cleared now.
