No conclusion

. . .it was more the lack of conclusion that i was talking about.

. . . or maybe even a "thank you" for your help. . . . do I dare expect common courtesy.

Hey, I got a question… and I promise I will also give answers!

I happen to be here since about a week and doing relatively fine in this… environment.

My question: "How do I get (the quickest way) to start a new thread?"

I think I stumbled on a button somewhere but not sure…

Have a good day…

At the top of The sub-forum pages you can find a post new thread button. unless the sub-forum is closed to starting new threads, or it is restricted to members or staff requiring certain special criteria.

. . . or maybe even a "thank you" for your help. . . . do I dare expect common courtesy.

Thank you for all your help.

Thank you for all your help.

. . . I was meaning it for all the many helpful members who take the time to address the problems. I don't need the "thank you" . . . I simply ignore rude people.

1. User manual for D3 are very annoying, I've looked up several things but mostly I end at google, and sometimes after that, at Nikonites. Seems like the manual are sometimes lacking an important piece of information, to get the feature to work

2. Search function at this site could maybe use an update, although advanced search are okay for 1-2 words

3. You guys and girls rock! I think you are amazing. You give such great answers for both simple and difficult questions, post amazing pictures, have a sense of humor - and I did try out a danish forum and it s-u-c-k-e-d compared to this site

Spent a bit of time today going through threads, will probaly never get them all read but its interesting,what i have noticed is how many people join ask a question concerning some problem they have but never let any one know if it gets solved.
Hope i haven't done this anywhere,even if they dont want to continue being a member it would be great to hear if there problem gets resolved.

Most likely I resemble this comment, but any lack of response from me is because of a family emergency that is my priority. In fact, I haven't even opened my camera bag for quite a while. What I do with questions I ask is to subscribe to the threads, and when I am finally able to try out the suggestions, I can easily find the threads to write my conclusions.

To those who have answered my questions, please know that I offer my heartfelt thanks for your input. As a newer member myself, I find there are some forum regulars whom I hold in the highest esteem and whose opinions are extremely valuable to me. Yes, there will be members who come only in search of a 'quickie', but please know that some of the detailed responses are read and appreciated not only by the OP but by others as well.

And to anyone else who resembles mikew's comment, let's please be reminded that people who respond to questions made in an investment in us by offering their time and assistance, and it is always nice to acknowledge their graciousness. My apologies for not always acknowledging the help I've received thus far. Thank you kindly. ♥

At last, someone that remembers that a heart IS red!
Somebody should pass the tip to the heads at nikonites for the "likes"
=)
This was a shy smile!

In 2005 I wrote my opinion about this on another photography site that I am a member of and since then it has been a sticky over on that site. I can understand some people coming to ask a question with no thoughts of sticking around. You are required on each site to register before you can participate in any of the forums. I have done this myself to try and get some help about a laptop but had no interest in sticking around on the forums because I am not a computer person and just needed some help with a problem I was having. To me I do not have a problem with this one time question because some people just need help with a problem and leave after getting the answer but some others might just stick around due to the helpful nature of the forum or site. My problem is when they do not respond to questions asked or thank members for trying to help them.

Below is a copy and paste from my 2005 post on the other site about my thoughts about this.
Lets help each other out !!!

I am sure this has probably been ask many times in the past but here it goes again. We are all trying to learn and gain knowledge here so if you have a problem and request help in solving it please post the answer to the problem when you get it so everyone will benefit. We need to share the answers along with the questions so everyone can learn from each others experiences.

Sometimes people ask a question and folks try and help out with an answer but the original person doesn't ever come back to acknowledge the replies. Nobody even has any way of knowing if the replies have even been looked at or read or done any good.

I would think if someone goes through the trouble to try and help you out then it would be nice to come back and at least acknowledge their efforts. I can't help out much myself yet in the answer department but I would think the regulars that do would feel more like helping us if they received some feed back on their efforts.

Just an observation on my part. Thanks, Jeff

I would like to add a BIG THANK YOU to all of you that have helped me out directly and to others that have posted questions that I have learned from by reading the thread.

I agree a follow-up to an answer is nice and at the very least polite.

What I find annoying is those that come here only to promote themselves and their own work. They contribute nothing, yet are constantly asking for a pat on the back. Generally they seem somewhat elevated above the rest of us, but yet need our attention. They post only pictures for us to look at and post nothing else anywhere in the site; never contributing feedback to others work. Luckily they are few and far between, I feel better now .
