Several Posts in Several Forums Without Replies...Why?

[kwilliams]

I'm not sure what's going on, but I've not been receiving any replies to several of my last posts. It doesn't seem to matter which forum I post to...none of them get replies. I do notice that the XML and .NET forums receive less replies than the others, but I didn't even get a reply on the General forum.

It didn't used to be this way for me. If you look at my post history, you'll see that all of my previous posts at least received one reply, but usually received several replies. Are there less people on staff to help us users out? Are the subjects I'm raising questions about not covered by your forums? I really hope that someone at this site can give me a clue as to what's been happening. Hope to hear from someone soon.

Here's the info for my last 6 posts as of today:

Well for the Adopey reader post, there really is no answer. We ALL have the same problem with it. It's a cack format and program. Not only does it have all the issues you mentioned, but you ALWAYS have to go into task manager and close the acro32.dll, which'll suck up 32mb of ram after you close the program, and will continue to until you close the .dll or reboot the PC

For the others, perhaps no one saw it that knew the answer. I don't code .NET so I wouldn't be able to answer either. You could try bumping the threads, since they've been there more than long enough.

We just don't have alot of members that have experience with XML parsing in .NET.

Personally, I have read enough on the forum to know that when I see someone's name that has been replying on the home page, who knows the topic I am discussing, I can post and get an answer. Usually right away, but sometimes you have to try again on another day or forum elsewhere. No forum that I have found has experts sitting in them 24/7.

Hello all,

Thanks for the great replies. Well I've switched do a different method in the design of my new site that involves XML/XSLT/CSS/XHTML with an ASP.NET/VB.NET script to convert it from XML/XSLT to XHTML instead of my old setup of XML/CSS/ASP.NET/VB.NET. I've found that ASP.NET's built-in methods (i.e. DataGrid, DataList, etc.) are easy enough to set up, but there are several issues that made my switch:
1) The support for ASP.NET using XML data isn't very good
2) If there is any resources out there for this setup, they're written in C#, not VB.NET.
3) You have to go in an load the page yourself to get it to load properly for users, but it still loads very slowly on a consistant basis.

And besides these issues, I've received several replies from other developers that state that they don't use ASP.NET because of these issues themselves, and most developers they know don't use the language either.

So in summary, I've found it MUCH easier to not only develop with XML/XSLT/CSS/XHTML scripts vs. XML/CSS/ASP.NET built-in methods, and I've also found that there's much more support out there for this setup anyway...including this forum. Thanks again for all of your great and thorough answers to the questions posed by myself, and I hope that you all have a great week.
