Welcome,

Thank you for using Askbot, here is how it works.

How questions, answers and comments work

This site is for asking and answering questions, not for open-ended discussions. We encourage everyone to use “question” space for asking and “answer” for answering.

Despite that, each question and answer can be commented – the comments are good for the limited discussions.

Please search before asking your questions

Type your question in the search bar and see whether a similar question has been asked before.

Search has advanced capabilities:

  • to search in title - enter [title: your text]
  • to search by tags - enter [tag: sometag] or #sometag
  • to search by user - enter [user: somename] or @somename or @"some name"

In addition, it is possible to click on tags to add them to the search query.

Important!!! All search terms are combined with a logical "AND" expression - to narrow the search by adding new terms.
