What......?

[alisonb]

What do you think the 'most frequently' asked question is on the board?....Maybe 'Warts' or most probably 'Diarrhea' ?

If you count views, "wadda you look like" is going to be right up there.

 

[alisonb]

No, not views. Actual repetitive questions instead of the search option being used.

I think people aren't used to doing a search for anything. It doesn't smack them in the face when they first come here. There is a wealth of information, but it takes time to sort through it.

I had a brainstorm! :idea:
I did a search for diarrhea and got a total of 744.
The search for warts got 754.

alisonb, you're right on the money! :clap:

Next question, how many posters ask a question and are never to be heard from again ? Especially when you ask for more info . :bang:

Yeah, the ones that get me are the ones that post a question and never even log back in

What is even more aggravating is when a regular member asks a question and people go out of their way to assist and that member does not have the common decency to say thank you :help:. I must say it does not happen too often though, we are a pretty polite bunch ;-)

 

[Gale Seddon]

It's great when someone responds with the outcome, especially if a cow is sick or something, so you know it got resolved.

I'd bet that there are lots of one-post people who come on and post a question and don't check back because they've posted the same question on ten other boards and forget where they went. They'll use the answer they like the best (i.e., the one that won't cost them $).

Okay, how many one-post people have there been? (BTW, are names in blue until they post a certain number of times?)

I believe it used to be the first 10 posts but was changed to the first 5 posts the name is blue and the post has to be read by a Mod first.

Thanks Isomade! I thought it had to do with that.

I'm sure you can figure at least one dead calf for each post.

:lol: Ok, now you are considered to be one of the 'pretty polite bunch'.

You just need to scroll through the members list, there are plenty of them :shock:
