Other How to efficiently post questions related to paper material?

[JD_PM]

Hi guys.Lately I have been posting questions related to paper material and I am getting no replies (here, here and here).

I am convinced it's not only due to the difficulty of the topic but the way I am posting it. Should I "go to the point"?

Honestly, it's also acceptable that people only give guesses. What I miss is discussion.

What's your advice?

This is the first time that I experience something like that on PF (three posts in a row without reply).Thanks in advance.

You';re asking a lot. "Read the paper. Read what I wrote. Figure out what I don't understand. And if you're not fast enough, volunteer, I'll complain about it on another thread." That's a big, big ask.

I'd suggest the following:

• Spend as much time as you can distilling your uncertainty down to the essentials. Don't make the people you want to help do as much work.
• Help other people. It's not all about you. If you have a reputation as someone who helps others, people will cut you more slack on your own questions.

Don't post questions as pictures. Apart from being hard to read it takes extra time to answer - see the trouble I had to go to here?

And if you have a simple question with a lot of background workings it can be a good idea to put the question first and add the workings as a footnote: see what I have done here?
