WordPress Forum

I don’t know if people at the WP forums hate me or what, but half the time I have a question, it seems nobody’s got an answer. Or they’ll post something that isn’t a solution, it seems only so that it will look like there’s been a reply to the question, and the question won’t continue to show up as no response.

I don’t know if any of you have noticed the sidebar here… sometimes it shows up properly (right beside the posts) and sometimes it shows up on the right, below all my posts, but if you mouseover the site title, all of a sudden the sidebar is there.

I figure it must be some css thing, but I could be wrong, perhaps it’s a wordpress thing. I figured the experts at the forum would know.

But I can’t get a fucking answer about anything. I can’t get an answer that says, “fuck you, we don’t feel like answering”.

That’s why I hate posting questions at the forum.

And I’ve seen questions answered, in triplicate, from people who posted their question 3 minutes ago. I’ve been waiting for something, anything, for 22 days. It’s a damned good thing this is not my company site.

I thought that maybe it’s because I’m not begging enough. Am I not saying please enough to appease the gods? I certainly say thank you whenever someone helps me.

And yet I’ve seen other people complain, only to get some snotty response that consists of crap like… “these people are not PAID to help, they do it out of the goodness of their heart”. And I suppose for that, I should be satisfied that I can’t get any answers when I seek help.

But the truth of the matter is that it pisses me off. I help lots of people with whatever I can do, for FREE. And I help a lot of fucking people. I enjoy helping, even though I’m not in a forum. I don’t seek my ego stroked because I can help someone with something. All I would like is for someone else to offer me some help too if I should need it.

I’m bummed that nowadays I don’t have time to read the forums. During the summer I had time to help (try to help…) a lot. I can try to help you. I’ve never seen that sidebar issue you’re talking about (I actually happened to see that thread of yours) but I can check this site on IE if it happens there.

I did make some changes to my stylesheet, quite some time ago, so I don’t even remember what they were. If I could, that would be the first thing I’d try changing back cuz this stupid sidebar shit really bugs me.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
