MS need to do more for MVPs

[Guest]

You go on a Java board and post a question and you get replie(SSSS) in
minutes and you post a question for a .net problem and you wait for days to
some one actually respond to it.

I don't know what, but MS should consider to inspire and deperately
encourage people to contribute on the message boards..

that was just my experience....

Hi mavrick101,

You go on a Java board and post a question and you get replie(SSSS) in

If I understand you correctly, what you mean is that YOU have had this
problem. But look, here is a response to your post almost immediately!

There are several reasons why a message may not be answered. Most often,
this is due to the question itself. If the question is not understandable to
the audience, or the question has been asked and answered hundreds of times,
or the nature of the question makes it obvious to everyone that the poster
hasn't done any homework, or doesn't know much of anything about
programming, it will often be overlooked or ignored by everyone.

As you didn't mention the actual question that prompted this post, I
couldn't give you more specific information.

Microsoft has done a wonderful job of encouraging people to participate in
these communities, and the MVP program is highly inspiring for us MVPs. If
you check, you will find that most MVPs post dozens of answers to questions
daily. A to why a specific question did not receive any reply immediately,
again, I couldn't venture a guess without knowing what the question WAS.

Hi mavrick101,

As I think about it, there is another reason why certain questions take a
long time to answer. Every MVP is a specialist of one kind or another. I,
for example, certainly cannot answer every question that is posted to every
newsgroup I frequent. I answer the ones that I can. So, if the question is
of a specific nature, and for example, involves something that is
infrequently encountered or used by people, it may take awhile for the
person or persons who know the answer to that question to see it and
respond.

Agin, if you will repost your question, I may be able to be more specific.
Who knows? I might even be able to answer it!

Well, your last question was answered 12 minutes later ? Did you tried
Server.UrlDecode ?
You may want to post some more details (such as how you encode the
querystring and/or the character for which you have a problem).

Under normal circumstances QueryString does this for you try :

Response.Write("<a href=""test.aspx?my=" & Server.URLEncode("²~k
ldf<+d%20f>445kd")& """>Test</a>")
Response.write("<strong>" & Request.queryString("my") & "</strong>")

Thanks for your response.

I do agree that the response would depend on a question too. I'l try to be
more clearer in my question next time

Cheers
