Most of my postings are in the Technology section of AB; in the hope that I am able to be of some assistance to folk who have 'computer complications'.
However, I do get dismayed at the lack of responses from some questioners.
Often I have been left wondering if my advice was worthwhile. Consequently, henceforth, I shall refrain from replying to anyone who signs off with..TIA.
Please comment accordingly.

Perhaps it's the part that processes the words 'thank you' ?

Hans - please don't stop responding. I've picked up many hints from other ABers' replies to other OPs, but I don't always comment that I have. When I respond to others, I don't expect an acknowledgment - and please bear in mind that some ABers seem to find it difficult to understand how to post a response to their own question on here.
I don't give replies in order to be acknowledged - although it's nice if they do, it doesn't bother me if they don't.

I know it can be frustrating but it's often the same in other topics for lots of other posters, it's the way of the site. I find a lot of the experts in Technology actually don't agree on the advice they're giving and there is occasionally an hint of oneupmanship.
Not you Hans but I know I have been given advice in Technology and I know the poster is muttering 'stupid woman' under their breath.

@Prudie.....I can fully understand what you are saying. You are right to say that techies don't all agree. However, I feel sure that whomsoever's advice is proved to be right, should be acknowledged. I would like to feel that I am able to accept criticism of my advice and thereby learn from my error. The point I am making is that ....Advisers need to be told if they were right or wrong.
Incidentally, I would never classify you as a stupid woman.

@anneasquith.....I don't think that Techies knowingly give wrongful advice. It's sometimes a matter of guesswork because the poster has Not given full details, such as, Computer model. operating system, on screen messages etc.
One cannot give too much info...the more the better.
@rockyracoon.......No way am I knocking you. It's the 'big balled boys' who are problematic, Not the Ladies such as yourself in AB.

Don't give up yet. I know it's frustrating when you give out assistance and you end up not knowing if the problem was resolved.
Sometimes there are different ways to solve a problem, some short, some long. Difficulties are caused when insufficient detail is given, sometimes the information is released like drawing teeth.
