>From personal experience, I have found that this support list is a far better place to ask questions than creating issues on the drupal.org site.  You are far more likely to get a very helpful response here.  I experienced the same thing of no responses at all to issues I created on the drupal.org site, while I received rapid, friendly, and helpful answers here.

Best of luck.

I've read several FAQ-type documents that detail the best way to ask for help on usenet, mailing lists, and the like. Yet I still seem to do a poor job of describing issues I encounter. So I'm going to link a request for help I made and ask for specifically what I've missed, so that in the future perhaps I can make my questions more friendly to those that might be able to answer them.

My guess is that there are four possible reasons that I haven't received a response. They are (in decreasing order of likelihood):

1) I have provided incomplete information.
2) The question's answer is so obvious that no one bothers to answer it
3) The question is difficult enough that no one can answer it
4) No one ever looks at the Location Views issue queue

There's really nothing I can do about possibilities #3 and #4. If #2 is correct then perhaps a new career path is in order. So I'm hoping that I am woefully inept at asking for help.

I have included a clear example of the problem, a link to a description of a similar problem (and the patch I applied), descriptions of the ways I've tried to work around the problem, and why those methods failed.

Please tell me: what can I do differently to get a better chance of a response?

Thank you,


Steve
