So I had a look about a week ago at the unanswered question in AskLibO, but I must admit I found it very heavy going. Some of the reasons why are: 1) They need specialist knowledge to give a good answer. 2) Vague questions which need more details to know how to give a good answer. 3) OS details needed for a correct answer (I am using Ubuntu Linux). I will also admit that I do not much like the 'Ask' format. I just want to help people. I'm not interested in Votes, etc. To me it all gets in the way of engaging with the user. Sometimes you need a sequence of questions and answers to get to a good solution. The Ask format isn't really a good way to do that. Forums are better.
