If nobody answers a question it could be one of the following reasons:
1) Your question could easily be answered with a quick Google or PHP.net
search. RTFM.
2) Your question was too vague. Reread your question and reword it or include
more information.
3) You're asking too much. Most people only reply with short answers. Consider
breaking your question up into several smaller ones. If it can't be broken up,
consider paying someone to answer it (there are many sites that will hook you up
with a programmer-for-hire)
4) Your question was off-topic. Re-consider the group you're posting to.
5) Nobody knows the answer. Pay someone to research the answer for you.
6) You have done something to actively dissuade people from helping you. This
could include trolling, screaming, whining, spamming or displaying laziness.
This applies even if you have not done these things in the post you didn't
receive an answer to, but have done them in previous posts. The regular posters
have long memories.
In the case of your CMS question, the main reason was probably #3. You wanted
someone to summarize a large body of information for you. That takes a lot of
time to type, even if they were up to date on the information. Those kind of
questions rarely get the response you want. In those rare instances that
someone does take the time to respond the way you want, consider yourself lucky
- you got something for nothing. As for the other times, do the work yourself
or hire someone to do it.
As for future questions, you will find the number of responses you get dwindling
if you continue to envoke #6.
HTH,
