Questions with no ability to answer them

Asked by: 2757 views General Aviation

Just an FYI. There is apparently a glitch in the forum software that will sometimes leave a question without the ability to answer it. The most recent is "Commercial Aeronautical Experience: 61.129(a)."  Edit - Added the checkmark for comments/Mod It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's probably equally frustrating for both the questioner and those who would like to answer it. Sometimes the moderators catch it, other times not. So (as a non-moderator) I would recommend that anyone who asks a question and does not see any answers posted after a full day, click on the question to see if there is an answer box available. If not, you might consider re-posting the question. Edit: I try to catch these, but if I don't, anyone can post as Mark has done, and I will correct the error. Normally, I would delete the "can't answer it post" after I correct the situation, but published this one, as it is useful to others/Mod

    Thanks Mark. I was the OP for that particular question (my first time posting). I had wondered why no one took me up on it and now I know! Really appreciate you fixing this (and for the helpful replies I’ve received since then).

    You are welcome. I saw the post and wanted to answer it and saw there was no box (as apparently many others did). I’ve seen it before and the moderators can’t catch everything so figured maybe it deserved a post to remind folks to check their own messages.

    I can’t take credit for fixing it – my post probably caught the moderators’ attention. Glad you got some good answers.

    Hi guys,

    due to a large amount of spam and attacks on the site, we have been strengthening the security mechanisms. This may have lead and/or may lead to slight periods of issues such as the one experienced as we upgrade the site. The work is actually pretty substantial. We thank you for your patience and also we hope those of us who use the site regularly can show your appreciation by using and/or directing your students to use our test prep, checkride exam prep, and other products.

    We again apologize for the inconvenience. Actually, most of the big changes are done. There’s a most of you guys fortunately don’t know or have to know about in terms of what keeps a site like this going 🙂
